Why product photography in Stuttgart
Product photography in Stuttgart often deals with things built to tight tolerances: tools, components, measuring instruments, design objects, along with wine from the surrounding slopes and goods from small makers. The clients are frequently mid-sized manufacturers whose catalogues, online shops and marketplace listings need consistent cut-outs. The difficulty is rarely the idea and nearly always the surface. Brushed metal, painted parts, glass and bottles reflect everything in the room, so each of those needs its own set-up, and that is why planning follows the number of set-ups rather than the number of products. The work happens indoors, at your premises or warehouse, so that heavy or delicate parts do not have to travel.
Plan backwards from your catalogue deadline, shop launch or trade fair. Files arrive five working days after the session, and uploading takes time after that. If new products must be ready for a fair at the Messe Stuttgart, schedule the shoot well ahead. The time of day does not matter, as we bring our own lighting. What matters more is that samples are complete, clean and in their final version, not prototypes with visible differences.
How the session runs
We need a table or workbench, power and some space for lights and a backdrop; side light from windows is screened off. The cut-out set on white comes first and stays unchanged for similar items. Metallic and glossy surfaces get large, soft light sources and black flags so that edges are drawn cleanly. We then rebuild for in-use or mood images, such as a tool in a hand or a bottle with suitable props. Three hours produce 25 edited photographs in square and vertical crops, delivered within five working days.
