Product and e-commerce photographers in Istanbul

Start with the asset list

A white-background catalogue, a styled campaign and an industrial assignment require different crews, sets and post-production. Define what must be delivered before comparing studios or day rates.

• Products, variants, colours and the number of views required for each item.
• Background, scale, shadow, colour-reference and consistency requirements.
• Marketplace, website, print and social-media dimensions or crop ratios.
• Still photographs, short product video, model-led work or industrial coverage.
• File naming, cut-outs, retouching level, approval stages and delivery deadline.

Prepare the products and production responsibilities

State where the products are, when they will arrive and who checks them against the shot list. Agree how damaged samples, assembly, cleaning, duplicates, colour references, storage and return transport will be handled.

For styled or model-led work, assign responsibility for the concept, props, set, casting, wardrobe, grooming and location. A clear responsibility list makes proposals easier to compare and reduces changes on the shoot day.

Separate capture, post-production and usage

Ask the proposal to distinguish photography or filming, studio and equipment, production, talent, styling, retouching, video editing, delivery and any transport. Confirm what happens when the product count or requested views change.

Commercial usage, raw files, project files and long-term archiving are not automatic. Put the channels, territory, duration, third-party use, file formats and archive period in the written agreement.
