Product photography & video — FAQ

Common questions on this service.

• Do you have a studio, or do you shoot on-location?

  Both. We have access to a Sydney studio with cyc walls, modular tabletop setups, and full lighting for product work. On-location shoots are equally standard, we travel kit to your warehouse, retail space, brand HQ, or a hired venue. We'll recommend studio vs. location based on the product, the brief, and the budget.
• What's a typical turnaround on a product shoot?

  Shoot day is shoot day. Same-day proofs (low-res selects) for sign-off within hours of the shoot ending. Final delivery of edited, retouched, brand-graded stills: 5–10 business days depending on volume and retouching complexity. Video: 7–14 days for a 60-second spot with branded graphics and audio mix. We scope timing in the proposal so it matches your launch calendar.
• How does pricing work for product photography?

  Day-rate for the crew and studio (if used), per-product retouching, and licensing scope (web-only vs. print vs. broadcast). Ecomm-style shoots are typically priced per-product or per-shot for high-volume runs. Brand campaigns are quoted per-day with a separate post-production line item. We'll scope based on your product list, usage rights, and timeline.
• Do you handle the styling and creative direction, or do we bring our own?

  Either. For full-service shoots we provide art direction, styling, prop coordination, and (for lifestyle work) talent or model casting through partner agencies. If you have your own creative team, agency, or in-house art director, we work to their brief and supply the technical execution. Brief in the proposal so we know which mode to scope.
• Can you produce video and stills in the same shoot day?

  Yes, this is standard. The same lighting setup and the same product positioning work for both, with a video camera rolling between stills. Saves shoot-day cost and keeps the visual language consistent across formats. Particularly useful for launch campaigns where you need both hero stills and social-format video from the same brief.
• What about 360° product spins or AR-ready assets?

  Yes. We have multi-angle rigs for ecomm 360° spin sequences (typically 24 or 36 angles per product), and we can shoot products against a clean alpha background for AR/3D pipeline use. For brands moving into AR shopping experiences or interactive ecomm, the source capture quality matters, we shoot to spec rather than letting the post-team rebuild missing data.
• Do you do food and beverage photography?

  Yes, food and beverage is one of our specialties. Tabletop lighting, surface and prop styling, beverage pour shots, hero-dish shots, brand-aligned lifestyle scenes. Food work has its own pacing (the food has a 'best moment' window) and we work with food stylists for high-end brand campaigns where the appearance matters.
• Can you also do the product launch event photography?

  Yes, this is where the two sides of Studio AV come together. We can shoot your product stills and video in a controlled studio environment, then produce the launch event AV (sound, lighting, live streaming, hybrid integration, event capture). One crew across the full launch campaign, one creative brief, one deliverable pipeline. Most of our brand-launch clients use both services.
