What Is A Pack Shot?

Simply put a pack shot is an uncomplicated photograph of a product either in or out of its packaging. It shows the product for exactly what it is. These are the kind of images you will see in online shops or sometimes used in advertising brochures like those from retailers like Game and Makro.

The image is always presented on a clean white background. If you need it to be put on a different coloured background you can have it deep etched, either by my team, or use your own service.

What Is A Lifestyle Shot?

A lifestyle shot shows the product in use. This can be as simple as having a model hold it, or it can be shown in situ. Lifestyle shoots can get expensive if elaborate sets need to be constructed to show the product. We offer both set building in our studio or we can use a set that the client has built on location.

What Does It Cost?

Previously we used to bill clients on a per image basis with different rates depending on the type of product being photographed. As of 2023 we no longer work that way and instead we will quote based on the amount of time it takes to complete the job. We apply our standard hourly rate for each shoot and for jobs with lots of products we will offer a discount. Simply click on the “Order Service” button on this page and you will be able to fill in the information we need.

Where Does It Happen?

We can photograph you products in our fully equipped studio in Westville, Durban, or we can set up on site at your preferred location. We will ask you some questions about the space you have available and the type of images you are looking for.
