Consistent light, accurate colour

For packshots, every product is shot in the same light with a fixed camera and lighting setup, so the range looks consistent side by side in the webshop. We check colours on a calibrated monitor, because the customer expects the colour they saw in the picture when they open the box.

We also shoot detail photos: material, surface and packaging up close.
