01 / Where
Where will the photographs appear?
A printed catalogue, a website product page and a trade-show banner need different crops and resolutions. Tell us all of them so the session covers each one.
PHOTOGRAPHY / BASILDON
Basildon PhotographerProduct photographs that sell to trade buyers.
A trade buyer judges your product from a photograph long before they see a sample. We help Basildon manufacturers, distributors and brands photograph products clearly and consistently for catalogues, websites and trade shows.

PHOTOGRAPHS WITH A PURPOSE
The catalogue goes to print on Friday. Are the photographs ready?
On Basildon's business estates along the A127, the usual problem is not a lack of products but a lack of usable photographs: supplier images that do not match, phone pictures taken in the warehouse, and new lines with no picture at all. A planned session fixes that in one go, with every product shot the same way.
We can photograph at your unit or warehouse if there is space, and we bring the lighting and backgrounds. The photographs on this page come from our wider portfolio and are labelled with the client; none of them is presented as a Basildon shoot.
SOCIAL SHAKES / REAL PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
Every product, shot the same way.
These Social Shakes photographs keep the background, light and angle consistent, so each product can be compared at a glance. For a trade catalogue we would also agree scale, the views each product needs and how packaging and labels should read.
Commissioned Social Shakes product photographs from our wider portfolio. They show the approach, not a Basildon client.
Three questions before we set up the lights.
02 / What
Which views does each product need?
Front, back, detail, in use or packed. Agree a standard set of views so the range looks consistent and nobody has to reshoot a missing angle later.
03 / How many
How many products, and how alike are they?
Similar products can share one lighting set-up and move quickly. Shiny, transparent or very large items need their own set-up and more time.
JELLYSHOTZ / PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A DESIGNED SET
Catalogue photographs and campaign photographs do different jobs.
The Jellyshotz photographs use colour, props and a designed background to make a product feel exciting. It is real product photography with AI-assisted scenery shown on a screen behind the product, not a generated image.
A campaign image works on a trade-show stand or social media. A buyer comparing specifications needs the plain, consistent view. Many Basildon clients need both, so we plan the session to produce each.

A corner of the warehouse is often enough.
We need a clear space, a power socket and the products ready to go. Send a few phone photographs of the area and the largest items so we can plan the set-up.
- Ready to photograph
- Products unpacked, cleaned and labelled with their code, with any accessories that belong in the picture.
- Photographed
- Kept to one side until the views have been checked, in case an angle needs retaking.
- Back to stock
- Checked off the list before they go back, so nothing goes missing and nothing is photographed twice.
Files your team can find.
We name each file with the product code and view, so your website, catalogue designer and sales team can find the right image without guessing. When a product changes, you know exactly which photographs to replace.

View rates and the photography estimator ↗BASILDON / ON LOCATION
We quote the capture time, the number of people or set-ups and any agreed retouching. Products that can share a lighting set-up are much quicker to photograph than items needing individual set-ups, so a product list helps us quote accurately.
We cover Basildon, Pitsea, Laindon, Billericay, Wickford and the business estates along the A127 and A13. Tell us whether the shoot is at your unit, warehouse or another address.
Within 25 driving miles of the quoted base, travel is £0.55 per round-trip mile. Beyond that, mileage is waived and estimated round-trip driving time is charged at £49 per hour. Parking, tolls and other necessary travel costs are agreed separately.
PLANNING YOUR SHOOT
The practical details.
Can you photograph products at our Basildon unit?
Yes, if there is a clear space and power. We bring lighting and backgrounds. Send phone photographs of the space and the largest products so we can plan the set-up.
How do you price a product shoot?
By the time needed. The number of products matters, but so do the number of views, the materials and any retouching. A product list with sizes helps us quote accurately.
Can you photograph large or heavy items?
Yes, with planning. Tell us the sizes and weights, whether a forklift or extra hands are needed, and we will plan a set-up that works in your space.
Are the photographs on this page from Basildon?
No. The Social Shakes and Jellyshotz photographs are examples of product photography from our wider portfolio, not Basildon clients.
Are the Jellyshotz products AI-generated?
No. The products were really photographed. Some background scenery was created with AI assistance and shown on a screen behind them, and that is stated beside the examples.
Can the same photographs work in print and online?
Yes. Tell us every place the photographs will be used before the shoot, and we will deliver print-resolution files and web-sized versions in the crops you need.
