We reckon we’re pretty cool at Photography Firm (do cool people still use the term “cool”?….). We’ve shot for some pretty on-point clients like Virgin, Microsoft and Interrail. We’ve blagged ourselves and our cameras backstage at sold out gigs and hung out in green rooms with the likes of Russell Howard and The Prodigy. We’ve […]
Specialising as we do in product photography, at Photography Firm we sometimes get the chance to get a little bit… “meta”. We’re not talking selfies here (do you know how thick the selfie stick would have to be that could hold our camera/lens combos??!), but turning our viewfinders towards our close neighbours on Creativity Street: […]
As well as working our way through a constantly replenished slate of commissioned shoots, at Photography Firm we like to stay super-busy, so if we find ourselves with a little free time (there’s never much), we put ourselves back to work self-commissioning shoots intended for stock libraries (anything to avoid going to the gym!! – ahhhh, […]
World Kitchen recently booked us to capture their glorious, non-stick cookware creations for Amazon and our last blog post gave a little insight into the lifestyle photography portion of the job. However, it just wouldn’t be “Amazon” without a whole lot of white, so today we’ll elaborate a little on the keys to cutout success. We’ve shown […]
We were recently commissioned by World Kitchen to capture their gorgeously crafted kitchenware in both lifestyle photography and white background cutout fashion. We’ll shine a light on the latter style in our next post, but today we’ll give a little insight into our lifestyle shoot and edit. If you read our blog, you’ll already know we’re […]
Beauty truly comes in all shapes and sizes. Our last post detailed our efforts shooting Corbeau’s big, bold racing-car seats, whilst today’s tiny, yet perfectly formed subject is one more likely to get lost down the back of the sofa. The Cufflink Store approached us to shoot their huuuuuuuge range of products and we recently set to task […]
We’ve got a decent amount of space at the Photography Firm studios but one of our more recent shoots truly tested our capacity for organisational storage. High-end racing seat manufacturer Corbeau commissioned us to shoot a large number of their eye-catching and innovative products, so we put pedal to the metal (well, lens to camera) and […]
We were recently tasked with shooting some 360 degree spin product photography. It takes time and care, but the results speak for themselves if you get the science right. On this occasion there would be a little more science than usual. These weren’t our typical 360 spins of shoes, handbags or plastic models, but tiny, […]
This is an area we’ve touched on before, but it’s continuously relevant since the conventions of the ever-more-popular e-commerce realm practically demand that if you can sell it, first you have to pose it, shoot it and cut it out. Whilst social media platforms such as Instagram are awash with flat lay and styled product photography […]
A true success story of the e-commerce scene, notonthehighstreet.com was founded in 2006 from a kitchen table by award-winning entrepreneurs Holly Tucker and Sophie Cornish, and now employs hundreds to run an online marketplace for thousands of small creative businesses. It’s a hotbed of originality, quirkiness, craft and design and the UK’s number one curated marketplace. They carefully […]
