Product photography your storefront actually converts on.
In-house product photography studio in Riyadh — built for the Saudi e-commerce brands and retailers who ship to Amazon, Noon, Salla, Zid, and their own DTC storefronts. White-background packshots, lifestyle sets, 360° spins, and product video — shot fast, delivered in every marketplace's exact spec, and priced for a real product catalogue instead of a single hero shot.

Six product formats, one studio pipeline.
Every SKU needs different photography. A skincare bottle needs a pack-shot AND a lifestyle set AND a texture close-up. A jewelry piece needs a 360° spin AND a hero macro. A gadget needs a product video AND detail stills. We shoot all of them — one studio, one pipeline, one price sheet.
White-background packshots
The e-commerce workhorse. Clean white cyc, even lighting, marketplace-spec framing, delivered in every ratio each platform requires (1:1 for feeds, 4:5 for Amazon, portrait for Salla product pages). Consistent across every SKU in the catalogue.
- Amazon-ready (2000×2000, RGB, white cyc)
- Noon spec (square + secondary angles)
- Salla / Zid product-page ratios
- PSD masters + web-optimised exports
Lifestyle + in-context photography
The shot that sells on Instagram, not in the marketplace grid. Product placed in a real lifestyle context — kitchen, bathroom, desk, café, gym — with model or hand-in-frame where the category needs it. Multi-angle, multi-mood, brand-directed.
- Multi-set lifestyle scenes
- Model + hand-in-frame casting
- Brand mood + colour direction
- Social-optimised aspect ratios
360° spin sets + interactive views
Full 360-degree product rotation — the format that reduces returns because the buyer sees every angle before ordering. Sequenced as a Salla / Shopify / Zid interactive spin or delivered as a scrollable image sequence.
- 36 or 72-frame spins
- Interactive spin embed for storefront
- Multi-height axes for complex products
- Delivered as image sequence or MP4
Product video for storefronts + ads
15-30 second product videos — the format Amazon, Noon and Meta ads reward. Feature calls, texture beauty shots, in-use demonstrations, and unboxing sequences. Delivered in every format the ad platform needs.
- 15-30s product feature videos
- In-use demonstration cuts
- Amazon A+ video spec
- 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 delivery cuts
Macro + texture close-ups
The detail shots that make a serious brand read as serious. Fabric weave, watch dial, cosmetic texture, jewelry engraving, food ingredient close-up. Shot on macro glass with lighting built for surface texture.
- Macro lens with proper working distance
- Texture-first lighting rigs
- Focus stacking for depth
- Retouched at 100% zoom
Editorial + brand campaign photography
When product photography leaves the studio and becomes a campaign — seasonal launches, hero product moments, brand-book updates. Concept, styling, set design, casting, and shoot direction from the same team that runs your monthly catalogue.
- Seasonal campaign concept + styling
- Set design + prop sourcing
- Talent casting + direction
- Hero shot + supporting cuts
Why route product photography through a production house.
Three reasons the images perform better when the studio is inside a full production operation — not a rented freelance setup that spins up once per shoot.
Priced for a real catalogue, not a hero shot
Freelance product photographers price per shoot day and treat every SKU as bespoke. That's why 100-SKU brands spend six figures for a season and still have inconsistent images. Our pricing is per-SKU with volume tiers — you know the cost of your catalogue before you shoot it, and each SKU looks like it came off the same studio because it did.
Marketplace-spec delivery, not 'we'll re-crop later'
Every marketplace has its own spec — Amazon wants 2000×2000 white cyc, Noon wants square + secondary angles, Salla wants portrait product-page ratios. We deliver every SKU in every spec required from day one. You don't spend a week re-cropping masters after the shoot is done.
Video + stills in the same session
Setting up a lit product on set is expensive. Doing it twice — once for stills, once for video — doubles the cost for no reason. Our sets are configured to capture stills and video in the same session. One studio day; the assets that come out of it feed a month of marketing.
Every catalogue the Saudi market runs on.
Whichever category — the studio pipeline is the same, only the lighting rig, styling, and prop set change per shoot.
Beauty + skincare + cosmetics
The category with the highest return-on-photography spend. Pack-shot + lifestyle + texture close-up + application video, all shot in one session. Bilingual pack-shot variants for AR + EN storefronts.
Fashion + accessories + eyewear
Flat-lay + on-model + detail macros. Multi-colour SKU shoots with consistent lighting so every colour reads true on the site. Editorial cuts for social; e-commerce cuts for the storefront.
F&B, restaurant + delivery brands
Menu photography, packaging shots, and hero food styling for delivery-app storefronts, in-store menus, and Instagram. Shot with real food styling — not stock photography that lies about what the plate looks like.
Consumer electronics + gadgets
Product photography + 360° spins + in-use video. Detail macros for feature callouts. Multi-configuration shoots for products sold in multiple SKUs (colours, storage, bundles).
Jewelry, watches + luxury goods
Macro-grade photography that holds up at storefront zoom. Focus stacking for depth of detail. Custom lighting rigs for reflective and gem-set pieces — the shots that make luxury products read luxury online.
Home + lifestyle + décor
Furniture, décor, textiles, kitchenware — the categories where a lifestyle context is what converts. Set-designed lifestyle shoots + isolated pack-shot cuts + close-up detail sets.
From catalogue to live storefront.
Product photography works when the pipeline is factory-clean. Here's how a shoot moves from your inbox to your storefront.
Catalogue intake + shot list
You send us the SKU list, the storefronts they go to, and any brand direction. We come back within one business day with a shot list per SKU, the studio day count, and a fixed quote. No SKU-by-SKU haggling.
Sample delivery + pre-production
Products arrive at the Riyadh studio 48 hours before shoot day. Styling, prop sourcing, model casting (if lifestyle), and any custom set builds finish inside this window. Nothing is improvised on shoot day.
Studio shoot day
One shoot day typically handles 20-40 SKUs across pack-shot + lifestyle depending on complexity. Client approval on the first hero shot before the crew moves to volume. You can attend or approve remotely from the shot-review portal.
Retouching + marketplace formatting
Each SKU retouched, colour-corrected, background-cleaned to the marketplace's exact spec. Amazon files sized to 2000×2000 white cyc, Noon in square, Salla in portrait — all done in-house, not sent to an external retouch farm.
Video edit + motion delivery
Product video captured on shoot day is edited, colour-graded, sound-designed, and delivered in every aspect ratio you need — 15s / 30s cuts, 9:16 / 1:1 / 16:9 formats, silent-friendly subtitles.
Delivery + storefront handover
Final files delivered via secure download link, organised by SKU + storefront + format. Optional storefront-upload service — we place the images live on your Salla, Zid, or DTC storefront so your team doesn't manage the last-mile.
Product photography questions answered.
How is pricing structured — per shot, per SKU, per day?
Per-SKU with volume tiers, plus a shoot-day rate. Small catalogues (1-20 SKUs) tend to work as a fixed shoot-day package. Medium catalogues (20-100 SKUs) are quoted per-SKU with the shoot day amortised. Monthly retainers for e-commerce brands with a rolling catalogue get the lowest per-SKU rate. Fixed quote at brief, no per-hour billing.
How fast can you deliver a shoot?
Standard turnaround: samples in Monday, shoot Wednesday, retouched files back Friday. Same-week for standard catalogues; 48-hour rush available on additional-fee basis for platform launches or launch-day deadlines. Large catalogues (100+ SKUs) run on rolling weekly delivery instead of one big batch.
Do you deliver files formatted for Amazon and Noon specifically?
Yes. Amazon requires 2000×2000 minimum, RGB, white cyc, product filling 85% of frame — we deliver every SKU to that spec by default. Noon requires square primary + secondary angles, we deliver those too. Salla and Zid product-page ratios are included. If your DTC store has its own spec, tell us at brief and we'll add it to the delivery.
Can you shoot at our warehouse or does everything come to the studio?
Both. Standard product photography happens at our Riyadh studio because lighting control there is far better than any warehouse setup — the results are consistent and the turnaround is fast. On-location shoots are available for products that can't move (furniture, large appliances, installed equipment); scoped as a separate day rate plus travel.
Do you handle model casting for lifestyle shoots?
Yes. We have a roster of Saudi-based models — hand models for close-ups, face models for beauty, body models for fashion, adults + kids for family-market categories. Casting samples reviewed with you at brief; final selection approved before shoot day.
What about retouching — is it in-house or outsourced?
In-house, always. Freelance retouch farms are cheaper but the quality is uneven across a batch and colour reads shift SKU-to-SKU. Every image goes through our own retouch team — same eyes, same monitor calibration, same brand-colour reference every time.
Can we approve shots remotely without attending the shoot?
Yes. Shot-review portal streams hero shots from the studio to your desktop; you approve or redirect from anywhere. Most clients attend the first shoot to lock the direction, then approve remotely for subsequent rolling shoots.
Do you sign an NDA for pre-launch products?
Yes, always available. Pre-launch products under NDA never appear in our portfolio or on social. Studio access is restricted on NDA shoots and files are delivered on encrypted transfer, not standard link.
