DESIGNED AROUND THE SHOPPING JOURNEY

Every placement
has a different job.

A product gallery explains. A collection brings the range together. A homepage sets the mood. We plan Shopify product images around where they will live, so the whole store feels connected.

Make every view answer a question.

Show the product clearly, then move into materials, scale, included items and real use. We plan a gallery sequence around what shoppers need to understand before choosing.

A PRACTICAL ROUTE FROM CHINA TO YOUR STORE

Your supplier sends it.
We bring it to life.

If your products are made in China, your supplier can send samples directly to our Zibo studio. One coordinated team can plan photography, design and video, while you review the creative direction and selected work remotely.

  1. 01

    Share the store & brief

    Send your product list, brand references, priority placements and launch date. We identify the images and videos each product needs.

  2. 02

    Confirm scope & samples

    Agree the shot list, styling, quantities, quote and receiving details. Your supplier sends the confirmed samples with a packing list.

  3. 03

    Shoot, select & review

    Production follows the approved direction. Review proofs and provide consolidated feedback through the agreed selection process.

  4. 04

    Refine & deliver

    Receive the approved final assets in the agreed sizes, crops and file structure, ready for your store team to put to work.

We confirm sample handling and the receiving address before shipping. Model bookings, special props and sample returns are scoped for the project.

SKINCARE / UGC-STYLE PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION

SKINCARE CONTENT WITH A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE

Bring the routine
into the story.

From opening the sachet to applying the mask, a short vertical video helps shoppers understand how a skincare product fits into a daily routine. This portfolio example pairs product handling with application and close-up detail.

Plan UGC-style skincare content alongside your brand photography: a clear opening, visible packaging, natural product use and an edit suited to your store or social channels. Scripts, captions, talent and usage are agreed for each production.

CONSISTENT FROM ONE SKU TO THE NEXT

A clear standard.
A useful handover.

At the start, we agree how the product should look and how the assets will be used. That gives the shoot, retouching and final exports a shared point of reference.

Product truth

Preserve the real product’s colour, material, proportions and included items. Agree references for colour and finish; keep styling props distinct from what the customer receives.

Brand consistency

Use an agreed direction for light, backgrounds, angles and product scale. For multi-SKU ranges, an approved first set can guide the next products.

Files with a destination

Agree desktop and mobile crops, file formats, naming and any web exports. Your store team receives the versions specified for the gallery, collection, campaign or video placement.

BEFORE YOUR SHOPIFY SHOOT

A few useful
answers.

Tell us what your store needs to show. We will help turn it into a practical production brief.

Can my supplier in China send products directly to you?

Yes. Your supplier can send samples to our studio in Zibo, Shandong, after we confirm the receiving details, product list and handling requirements. We agree the brief and sample arrangements before the shipment is booked.

What images should a Shopify product page include?

Start with a clear overall view, then add the details that explain the product: materials, dimensions or scale, included items and real use. The right mix depends on the product and its buying questions. We agree the image count and sequence rather than applying one fixed gallery to every SKU.

What size and aspect ratio should Shopify product photos be?

We confirm dimensions against your store theme and intended placement. Collection thumbnails need consistent crops; product galleries may use square or portrait images; banners need separate landscape and mobile compositions. Tell us your theme or share screenshots so we can plan the exports before shooting.

Can you match our existing brand style?

Share your brand guidelines, current product pages and a few references with notes on what you like. We agree lighting, colour, background, props and framing. For a larger catalogue, an initial approved product set can establish a repeatable visual standard.

Can you create product videos and UGC as well?

Yes. We can scope studio product videos and demonstrations alongside the photo shoot. Creator-led UGC can be coordinated separately for an agreed country and language; the creator, sample destination, deliverables and usage are confirmed for that production.

Can the same shoot support Shopify and Amazon?

Yes, when both channels are included in the brief. We plan shared photography where appropriate, then agree separate crops, graphic layouts or video edits for their different placements. Amazon listing design and A+ content can be added to the same production plan.

How are pricing and timing confirmed?

We quote around the SKU and variant count, shot list, styling, sets, models, props, video scope and final export requirements. The schedule is agreed after the brief, sample readiness and any bookings are confirmed. A new launch and a small gallery refresh can have very different scopes.

Do you also build or manage the Shopify store?

This service covers visual planning, photography, retouching, design and video assets. Your store team handles the theme and product uploads unless additional support is expressly included in the quotation. We coordinate file specifications with your designer, developer or ecommerce agency.
