Metrics glossary
Shots per product full view and close-ups
How many finished photos one product gets: full view, angles, close-ups and texture. This is an example — we agree on the exact number in the brief.
Full view + angles + close-ups
What we do: We shoot extra frames so there is enough for the product card as well as a banner or a post.
Angles which sides we shoot
The points of view that show the product: front, side, back, three-quarter, top. A simple product needs a few, a complex one needs more.
Front · side · back · three-quarter · top
What we do: We choose the angles to match the platform requirements and what buyers want to look at closely.
Backgrounds to suit the task
A white background for marketplaces and catalogues, a coloured one for social media and ads, an interior to show the product in real life.
White · colour · interior
What we do: We choose the background together with you, for the platform where the photos will be used.
Timeline shoot and retouching
From three working days — it depends on the volume: the number of products, angles and how complex the retouching is.
Brief → shoot → retouching → files
What we do: We fix the timeline before the shoot starts.
Lighting to suit the material
Light shows shape, colour and texture. Gloss, glass, metal and fabric each need different lighting.
Key + fill + rim light
What we do: We set the light for the material so that the colour in the photo matches the product.
Retouching careful editing
We remove dust and small defects and even out the colour and background. The product stays the way it really is.
Dust · defects · colour · background
What we do: We don’t make products look “plastic” — buyers should receive what they saw in the photo.
Price
Pricing for Product photography
Product photography
from $60
The price depends on the number of products and shots
Handmade items sell on texture — glaze on ceramics, woven thread, wax, wood, leather. We use soft side lighting that brings out the material and shoot close-up details separately: the things a buyer would want to turn over in their hands.
Coffee, chocolate, sweets and souvenirs are popular gifts from Lviv and are often sold as sets. We photograph each item on its own and the whole box together, so the listing shows exactly what is inside.
Small brands usually need two kinds of shots: clean images on a light background for listings and styled ones with props for Instagram. We agree on the look in advance from references, so your website, marketplace and social photos feel like one story.
Pack fragile pieces with extra padding; before you ship we agree on the item list and how everything will be returned. There is no need to come in — finished files arrive via a download link.

Questions
Product photography for Lviv brands: FAQ
How much does product photography cost for a Lviv brand?
Price — from $60. It depends on the number of products, shots per item, the background and whether you need styled scenes with props. Send us your list and we will quote.
Why is product photography important for handmade goods?
Because buyers cannot touch the item. Texture and detail have to come through in the photos, so for ceramics, candles, jewellery and pieces in wood, fabric or leather we always add close-ups.
Is product photography for ecommerce different on Etsy and marketplaces?
Each platform has its own size, aspect ratio and background rules and a limit on images per listing. We export a set for each one from the same shoot.
How do I send fragile items to a product photographer?
By Nova Poshta, with plenty of padding and an item list inside. We return them in the original packaging, or in new packaging if the original was damaged.
