The catalog shot
A clean, primary product image. The one that goes on your homepage, your Etsy listing, and the front of your packaging.
San Diego · Product photography
Product photography for San Diego artisans — soap and skincare makers, candle makers, small-batch food producers, bakers. Clean, consistent images you can use everywhere your product shows up.
See the founding offer01Where you are now
Maybe you’ve shot your products on your phone, in good light, and they still came back a little flat. Or you tried a cheap photographer once and got back something generic. Most makers do one of these before they find the right fit.
Meanwhile, mass-produced competitors with weaker products look more polished online. It’s not the work — it’s the photos doing the work for them.
You don’t need more reach. You need photos that match what you’ve already built.
02What you’ll get
/ One
A clean, primary product image. The one that goes on your homepage, your Etsy listing, and the front of your packaging.
/ Two
A second shot that shows the craft — the texture, the label, the hand-made detail a flat catalog shot can’t carry on its own.
/ Three
A styled scene that puts your product in context. The one your customer pictures themselves in.
03A note from Mike
“
I’ve spent years photographing signs and architectural work. Commercial product photography is the next move, and the founding offer is how I’m starting — eight San Diego artisans, half off, in exchange for a testimonial and an introduction. Honest trade, honest work.

Founding client offer
I’m building a portfolio of San Diego artisan work. The first eight founding clients get a half-day session at $275 (standard rate $550) or a full-day at $425 (standard rate $850). In return, each founding client provides a written testimonial, permission to use selected images in my portfolio, and one introduction to another local artisan.
Once the eight spots are filled, the offer closes. Standard rates apply after.
