Product & e-commerce photography · New York City & the tristate area
Product Photography
Packshots, e-commerce images and styled product photography for brands in Manhattan, the rest of New York City and the tristate area. I bring the studio to you, with lights, a tethered camera and a styling kit, so your products never have to leave the building.
Why brands call me
25 years of lighting the difficult stuff
I have been photographing for more than 25 years, for Fortune 500 companies, luxury brands and fast-growing online stores. Most of that time has gone into the things that make products hard to shoot: reflections on polished metal and glass, hard edges that need to stay crisp, and textures like leather and fabric that only look right when the light is exactly where it should be.
- A mobile studio set up at your office, warehouse or showroom
- Tethered shooting, so your team approves frames as we go
- Full-frame Sony a7R cameras for sharp, high-resolution files
- Retouching, clipping paths and colour-matched files
E-commerce
E-commerce & packshot photography
Clean, consistent product shots on pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255), set up to meet Amazon, Shopify and other marketplace image rules. Every product is lit and framed the same way, so the whole range lines up neatly on your category pages.
- Pure-white backgrounds for Amazon and Shopify
- Multiple angles and 360° spin sets
- Consistent framing across the whole catalogue
- Files sized for each marketplace
Lifestyle & editorial
Styled & luxury product photography
Products shown in context, with props, surfaces and light chosen to suit your brand. This is where polished metal, glass, fine leather, textiles and matte finishes need real care, and where moody, directional light earns its keep.
- Art direction, props and surfaces
- Lighting for metal, glass, leather and fabric
- Images for ads, social media and print lookbooks
- Shot to your brand guidelines
Industrial & technical
Industrial products & manufactured goods
Packaged goods, machinery, technical instruments and architectural hardware, photographed where they are made, stored or installed. Cross-polarised light and multi-exposure blending keep glare off glossy packaging and metal, and show the texture and detail buyers want to see.
- Packaging and boxed products on white
- Large equipment photographed on-site
- Cross-polarisation to tame glare
- Images for catalogues, spec sheets and sales decks

How a product shoot works
First, the brief. A call with your marketing, design or e-commerce team to agree the look, the shot list, your brand guidelines and the file specs each platform needs.
Then the shoot, at your place. I set up a calibrated shooting area at your office, warehouse or studio and shoot tethered, so you can check high-resolution frames on screen and approve them as we go.
Finally, retouching and delivery. Colour grading, dust and scratch clean-up and background removal, then delivery through a secure online link in every size, aspect ratio and colour space you asked for.
FAQ
Product photography questions
What brands ask before booking a product or e-commerce shoot with Michaels Photography.
Do you photograph products on-site in New York City?
Yes. Michaels Photography is a mobile product photography studio. Michael brings lighting, backgrounds, a tethered camera and a styling kit to your office, warehouse, showroom or studio in Manhattan, the rest of New York City and across the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut tristate area.
Can you shoot Amazon and Shopify compliant white-background images?
Yes. Packshots are shot and retouched on pure white (RGB 255, 255, 255) and framed to meet the image requirements of Amazon, Shopify and other e-commerce platforms, with consistent angles across the whole catalogue.
How do you photograph shiny products like metal and glass?
Reflective products need controlled light. Michael uses large diffused light sources, flags, cross-polarisation and multi-exposure blending to manage reflections and glare while keeping edges crisp and textures visible.
What camera do you use for product photography?
High-resolution full-frame Sony a7R mirrorless cameras with precision lenses. They produce sharp, detailed files with accurate colour for websites, marketplaces, print and large-format use.
What does product retouching cover?
Colour grading and colour matching, dust and scratch removal, blemish clean-up, clipping paths and background isolation. Files are delivered in the sizes, aspect ratios and colour spaces you need for web, print and digital ads.
Can our team approve images during the shoot?
Yes. Every product shoot is tethered, so your team can review high-resolution images on screen in real time and sign off on angles and styling before moving on to the next product.
