Yes — we offer professional product photography consulting at your location, plus workshops for artists, online shop owners, and anyone who wants to shoot their own products instead of hiring a pro every time.
Great product photos sell. A well-styled image builds trust, attracts the right customers, earns media attention, and boosts sales. We’ll help you create those images in-house to save money, speed up turnaround, and gain flexibility.
We evaluate your needs, recommend equipment and setups, and train your staff on the full process. Often called tabletop, product, catalog, advertising, still life, or eBay shots, we cover lighting and how to organize a shoot on a tabletop.
Our one-on-one training and workshops are ideal for artists, small business owners, makers, and bloggers. Dimi and Scott are experienced, patient teachers who explain things in plain English. We can create a customized session covering camera choice, photo setup, lighting, styling, editing, and sharing.
Learn how to take great product photos for web and print and make your images look noticeably better.

We teach product photography: composition, lighting, exposure, depth of field, and how to handle images after transfer (editing in Photoshop or Lightroom, and preparing files for web and print). Lessons are tailored to your needs and can include color management and camera profiling.
If you’re new and need gear, we’ll recommend suitable equipment and help you choose—note we don’t sell gear.

Need a testimonial?
"We own an auction house with a nationwide online bidding audience, and a firearms store with a large online customer base and photography is literally the lifeblood of our success. If our bidders can't see quality, not just in the items they are bidding on, but also in the staging, lighting, and clarity of the photos they will shop elsewhere. Before we met Scott and Dimi our photos were mediocre at best. After three short consultations Scott and Dimi literally transformed our photography department, and did so with respect for our small budget. As a mom-and-pop shop they understood that we needed affordable suggestions for any new equipment, and shared with us lots of clever "secrets" that have our photos looking like professional photos that we are very proud of! If you are thinking of improving your photographic skills do not wait one more second before calling Scott and Dimi!"
