01
Introduce a campaign
Lighting, colour and a setting can establish the look of a launch. We agree the product focus and the message the photograph should support.

Hero image photography.
One product.
A strong first view.
A hero image is the main photograph that introduces a product or campaign. Its job depends on where it appears: a website banner needs a different plan from the first image in an Amazon listing.
Planned around your products and where you sell.
York studio. UK-wide service. No minimum order.
Start with where it will appear
What does the first photograph need to do?
The examples show different uses. A campaign image with text or a dramatic background is not an example of an Amazon main image.
02
Show the product clearly
For a shop or marketplace main image, clarity comes first. We plan the view and background around its destination. Amazon requirements are checked separately.

03
Build an advertising image
A more constructed image can use a dramatic setting or digital effects. It belongs in a campaign or supporting content where that treatment is suitable.
From a product to a photograph
Give the image a clear direction.
- Choose one main message
- Is the photograph introducing a fragrance, showing a texture or presenting a new range? That decision guides the angle, light and styling.
- Make the product recognisable
- The bottle, packaging and distinctive details still need to read clearly. A busy scene can hide the very thing you want people to notice.
- Agree how it will be made
- We discuss references and the proposed setup. Studio photography, location work and digital assembly involve different preparation and costs.

Before you book
Hero image photography questions.
What is a hero image?
It is the lead photograph for a product, page or campaign. It may be a clear product view or a styled image. The right approach depends on where it will appear and what it needs to communicate.
Is an Amazon main image the same as a campaign hero?
They have different requirements. We plan Amazon main images around the relevant listing requirements. Styled scenes, words and effects may belong in supporting or campaign content instead. Our Amazon service covers the full listing plan.
Can one image work on desktop and mobile?
Sometimes, but a wide banner can lose important details when cropped for a phone. Share both layouts before the shoot. We can plan separate versions or arrangements where needed.
Can you help develop the idea?
Yes. Start with the product, audience and intended use. Reference images and your brand guidance help us agree the direction, setup and scope before shooting.
Can you shoot hero images and packshots together?
Yes. We can plan both in one booking. We agree each photograph and setup in the estimate because a campaign image and a clear product view can involve different work.
Are all usage rights included?
We agree intended use before booking. If models, locations or third-party assets are involved, their permissions and any limits must fit your planned use. Tell us the channels and campaign duration when briefing us.
How is the price worked out?
We quote for the images and work agreed for your project. Your itemised estimate sets out the photography, editing and any additional production requirements, with VAT shown separately. There is no minimum order.
Can you work to my deadline?
Tell us the date when you enquire, along with when the products or source images will be available. We confirm the delivery date before booking and will tell you if the brief needs adjusting to fit the time available.
