ABOUT US
"YOU DON'T TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH, YOU MAKE IT."
Ansel Adams
"Since setting up the studio in 2014, Richard Jackson, a creative product photographer, has worked with many brands, creatives and designer-makers all producing exceptional work in their respective fields."
To sell your products online it's important to highlight special finishes, bring out textures and to capture reflective products in a professional way. You may find this difficult to achieve yourself, which is why, as a creative product photographer, I use professional lighting techniques and equipment.
Most clients have either had specific requirements and ideas, or have been less sure and have needed creative input and guidance throughout. As a creative myself I am able to provide this. The studio can offer lifestyle product photography, still life photography and professional product photography.
Of course not all clients are familiar with either product photography, or indeed working with a professional product photographer. In the BLOG section you will find various guides, on how to write a brief, what to consider when doing so, and how to prepare for a shoot. If you're still unsure I do offer an introductory shoot, which you may find useful. I generally use these to explore either the ideas around your design, or the way in which the product may be used.
My creative journey started early at school when I produced my own magazine, it wasn’t exactly hot off the press in those days, more a case of cutting, pasting and photocopying but it led to an early interest in all things visual, and it left a lasting impression. Later I graduated with a BA(Hons) in Graphic Design and Photography and have worked for a number of different companies in both of these areas.
Since moving to a larger studio I have begun to incorporate furniture into the shoots, such as vintage, early 20th and Mid Century pieces. I’m very proud that we are producing more UK made items, and I enjoy incorporating older items that were made in the UK as props.
Sometimes I ‘root’ the product in a set that reflects the design, I’ve done this with a lot of designs inspired by the sea, and the countryside. I’ve always loved, and felt most at home when in the countryside. Which is where I've found found objects, such as items washed up by the sea or found while walking through local forests.
