Why choose Product photography in Frankfurt?
A product photographer in Frankfurt often works to a deadline set not by the online shop but by the fair calendar. Brands exhibiting at Ambiente or Light + Building need cut-outs for catalogues and press kits before the halls open, and campaign imagery soon after. The neighbourhood adds its own demands. Offenbach, next door, has a long tradition of leather goods, and leather is among the harder materials to light: it has a soft sheen, shows every crease and turns greasy-looking under the wrong light. Glass, metal, lamps and embossed packaging are similarly unforgiving. That is why the quote is based on set-ups rather than item counts, and why we agree beforehand which products can share a set-up, so shop images and campaign frames both fit into three hours without relighting for every piece.
Work backwards from the day you need the images: five working days for the files, plus time for samples and sign-off. For Ambiente exhibitors at the start of the year that often means shooting before the previous year ends, even if samples have only just arrived. For Christmas trading, images should be ready by October at the latest. Time of day barely matters because we bring our own light, though lifestyle frames using window light are best scheduled for the morning.
What does the session in Frankfurt look like?
We shoot at your premises, in your warehouse or in a room we agree on together. What we need is a sturdy table, power and roughly three by three metres of clear floor. The white-background set-up comes first, and similar products pass through it one after another. Then we rebuild for lifestyle frames with props and context. Along the way you compare colours and details on screen against the physical sample. The three hours produce 25 edited photographs, cropped square and vertical for your shop, marketplaces and social media, and delivered within five working days.

Nothing is added to the price after the session. It takes place indoors, so street permits do not apply.
FAQ — Product photography in Frankfurt
Can you photograph the products we are showing at a fair?
Yes, ideally at your premises before the fair, because hall lighting and stand spots are rarely colour-accurate. The cut-outs then work for the catalogue, the press kit and the shop alike. If you also want the stand photographed with the products on it, that is a separate trade-fair booking with accreditation.
How accurate will the colours of leather and textiles be?
As close to the sample as a screen allows. We shoot with a grey card, compare colours against the real product on a calibrated monitor during the session and note any deviation with you. If you have a binding colour reference, such as a swatch book, please bring it along.
Are 25 images enough for our range?
For a single collection with campaign frames, usually; for an entire shop, rarely. With similar products on one set-up we can produce considerably more cut-outs in three hours, priced separately in the quote. Send us a list of items and materials, and we will tell you how many set-ups the job needs.
