Product photo editing for New Zealand businesses
Ethelium does product photo editing for online stores and small businesses across 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 I 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 I’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 I’ll show you the edit before you pay for anything.
