— Product photography
Product photography for Auckland and NZ stores, without the shoot
No studio and no photographer: you send us the product photos already on your phone, and we edit them into clean, catalogue-style product photography for online stores across Auckland and New Zealand. Send a phone photo — on a table, on a shelf, wherever it was taken — and it comes back cut out, colour-corrected, and placed on a clean background, ready for a product page or a marketplace listing. You don’t need a studio or a proper camera. Most sellers already have decent product photography sitting on their phone; the editing is what makes it look like it came from a catalogue. Based in Auckland, working with businesses nationwide.

This is one photo, not two. Same lizard, same angle — the only thing that changed is the edit.
Before
After
Shot on a table with a box and clutter in frame — ordinary phone-photo conditions. The edit removes all of it and puts the subject on a clean background.
What you get for $5 a photo
- Cut out from whatever background it was shot against.
- Colour-corrected — phone cameras get white balance and exposure wrong more often than not.
- Placed on a clean, consistent background so every product in your catalogue matches.
- Delivered in whatever size and format your store needs — Shopify, Trade Me, Etsy, wherever you sell.
- Batch pricing for full catalogues — still $5 a photo, however many you send.

Who this is for
Online sellers using a phone for product photography — Shopify, Trade Me, Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace shops across New Zealand that don’t have a studio budget. If your products already look right but the photos let them down, this is the fix.
Questions
Do you need professional photos to start?
No. Most of what we edit is taken straight off a phone. As long as the product is in focus and reasonably lit, the editing does the rest.
What if I have hundreds of products?
Batch pricing is still $5 a photo. Email the count and we’ll give you a turnaround time before you commit to anything.
Can you also make a video from the photo?
Yes — a still photo can become a short product video for $49.50. See the product video page for details.
Do you work with businesses outside Auckland?
Yes — all of New Zealand. Everything happens over email, so location doesn’t matter.
Send a photo, see what it looks like.
No commitment, no minimum. Send one product photo and we’ll show you the edit before you pay for anything.
