Product Photography That Helps Sell Your Products
Rich Quindry is a Philadelphia product photographer specializing in commercial product photography for manufacturers, distributors, healthcare companies, technology companies, and other businesses that need their products to look their best.
For more than 25 years, Rich has created product photographs designed not merely to show what a product looks like, but to make it look desirable, communicate quality, build trust, and help sell it.
His expertise in professional lighting, composition, and Photoshop allows him to create highly detailed product images for websites, catalogs, advertising, brochures, trade shows, sales presentations, and other marketing materials.
Your product may be exceptional. Your photographs should make it look exceptional.
Commercial Product Photography
Professional product photography does more than document a product. It influences how potential customers perceive it.
A poorly lit or technically inadequate photograph can make a well-designed product look cheap or uninteresting. A carefully created commercial photograph can communicate quality, precision, sophistication, and value almost instantly.
Rich approaches every product photograph as a marketing image—not simply a record of what the product looks like.
The goal is to create photographs that attract attention, communicate the qualities that differentiate your product, and make people want to learn more.
What Products Does Rich Photograph?
Rich photographs a wide range of products, from small, highly detailed medical devices to large industrial equipment.
His product photography includes:
● Industrial equipment
● Medical products and medical devices
● Consumer products
● Technology products
● Furniture and large objects
● Jewelry
● Art and textiles
● Products for websites and catalogs
● Products for advertising and marketing
● Products photographed on location
The equipment, lighting, techniques, and approach are tailored to the product and how the photographs will be used.
Industrial Product Photography
Large products and industrial equipment often cannot be brought into a conventional photography studio.
For these assignments, Rich can bring professional lighting, backgrounds, cameras, and other studio equipment to your facility.
Photographing large equipment at your location can save the expense and inconvenience of transporting it to a studio. Your employees can also be available during the shoot to move or position equipment when necessary.
For products that require precise positioning and evaluation, the camera can be tethered to a computer so images can be reviewed during the shoot. This allows adjustments to be made immediately and can make the entire process more efficient.
Medical devices can present some of the most demanding challenges in product photography.
Many devices are extremely small and require specialized equipment, optics, lighting, and photographic techniques to capture their details accurately.
Rich has more than 20 years of experience photographing medical products and devices. For particularly demanding subjects, he has developed techniques that go well beyond conventional product photography. Some medical-device photographs have required combining as many as 200 individual photographs in Photoshop to produce a single image with exceptional detail and depth of focus.
Product Photography for Websites, Catalogs, and Advertising
Your product photographs may become some of your company’s most important marketing assets.
Professional product photography can be used for:
● Company websites
● E-commerce
● Product catalogs
● Brochures
● Advertising
● Sales presentations
● Trade-show displays
● Social media
● Press releases
● Distributor and retailer materials
Rich can create photographs with the flexibility needed for use across multiple marketing applications.
On-Location Product Photography
Not every product can—or should—be transported to a photography studio.
Rich regularly photographs products and equipment at the client’s facility when their size, weight, quantity, or production environment makes on-location photography more practical.
Bringing the photography equipment to you can eliminate transportation costs and minimize disruption to your business.
It can also provide an opportunity to photograph the product in its actual environment, giving potential customers a better understanding of its size, application, and capabilities.
Photoshop and Product Image Enhancement
Photography and post-production are closely connected.
As a nationally recognized Photoshop expert, Rich can use advanced digital techniques to enhance product photographs, remove distractions, make precise corrections, and combine multiple photographs when necessary.
The objective isn’t to make photographs look artificially retouched. It is to create images that look natural while presenting the product in the most compelling way possible.
For technically demanding products, advanced Photoshop techniques can make photographs possible that conventional photography alone cannot achieve.
Why Hire a Commercial Product Photographer?
Product photography requires more than an expensive camera.
Professional product photography requires an understanding of lighting, reflections, composition, color, perspective, optics, materials, and post-production.
Different products present different problems. Shiny metal reflects the environment. Glass creates reflections and unwanted highlights. Small products can have extremely limited depth of field. Large equipment presents entirely different lighting and perspective challenges.
Rich’s experience as a commercial photographer and Photoshop expert allows him to address those problems before they become problems.
The result is photography designed specifically for your product and your marketing objectives.
Royalty-Free Product Photography
Rich’s photographs are royalty-free.
You can use the photographs for your website, advertising, brochures, social media, trade shows, catalogs, and other marketing applications without having to pay additional stock-photography licensing fees every time you use an image.
Rich also does not resell your photographs as stock images.
That means the photographs created for your company remain unique to your business.
