    Avenue3 has been great to work with! They re-shot all of our products in our catalog and delivered great work as well as great communication. Highly recommend!

    -Chris Worden, AO Coolers

  • Close-up of a bed with beige sheets, featuring three pillows: an off-white pillow, a beige pillow, and a dark blue pillow with tassels. There is also a small section of a decorative throw pillow with a brown and white geometric design.

    The entire Ave 3 team is wonderful to work with, and produce great results for us across 3 different brands. I spent a week on site for a new brand photo shoot and couldn't believe how smooth it went, and how great the results of the images were. Lindsey, Paul and Sara are great to work with and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality photography!

    -Matt Meyer, Crane USA

  • A light blue toy storage basket contains baby care items, including socks, lotion, and a soft elephant plush toy hanging outside the basket, with toy tools inside.

    We love working with Ave 3! They've been a go-to for years, and they are so quick to respond. Their images are sharp and they follow vision seamlessly! Love their team and will be working with them for many years to come:)

    -Annabelle Yorke, Parker Baby

  • A collection of six gold rings with large, clear gemstones arranged vertically on a light, satin surface.

    Always great quality photos and excellent customer service. We are so grateful they keep our website neat with our photos. Our rings have been on Forbes and I give them credit to how presentable our photos look!

    -Yasmin Fondeur, Madera Bands

  • Red SeatBag with black accents, featuring a logo and two attached black bike bottle cages.

    Working with Avenue3 Studios has been truly been a dream… Their work is always fantastic, but it’s their professionalism, communication, and genuine willingness to go above and beyond that really makes them stand out.

    -Casey Johnson, OSO Supply

Product Photography Services

The advantage: one photography studio means your photos will flow seamlessly from your website, to social media, to paid ads.

 FAQs

  • We specialize in high-end product photography for e-commerce and print. Product industries we work with most include beauty, food and beverage, electronics, clothing, accessories, and home goods.

  • Nope! We also have stylists and retouchers, so we can manage the full production of your photo project, from concept to completion. Here’s a general list of services:

    -Solid Color Background Photography

    -Lifestyle Photography

    -Creative Branding Photography

    -SoftGoods/Apparel prep + styling


    -Food styling

    -Basic Retouching

    -Clipping Paths and Background Removal


    -Color Correction and Hue Shifting

    -Advanced Retouching and Compositing

    -Model search and hiring

  • Yes! We work with businesses around the country, even when they can’t be on set. You’ll simply ship your products to the studio, provide direction ahead of the shoot, and we’ll take it from there. Learn More.

  • Not necessarily. If you hire us for e-commerce white background images, then your shoot will most likely be a remote shoot where you provide direction ahead of time.

    If you hire us for lifestyle or creative photos, it is helpful to have someone on set — ideally a decision-maker who can approve styling as we go. If in-person isn’t possible, we may be able to accomodate remote production depending on scope.

  • Our turnaround times vary by service type.

    For e-commerce white background photography, 7-10 business days from the time product arrives at the studio is standard (less than 25 shots). Projects with more than 25 shots have a custom turnaround.

    Turnaround for lifestyle/creative work is project-dependent. Most projects have a 1-2 week turnaround.


    If you need photos faster, we offer 3-day and 24 hour rush services when studio capacity allows. Rush fees apply.

  • Our e-commerce white background service is priced per photo at $52, which includes photography for 1-5 items per photo with basic dust cleanup, a fully seamless background, and an unlimited usage license.

    Creative and lifestyle photography are custom-quoted depending on the scope of styling, props, models, etc.

    Final quotes will include full production costs for photography, set design and materials, stylists, props, retouching, model fees, and licensing.

  • As of April 2026, we do not charge separately for usage. Instead, we provide an Unlimited Global Usage License for all projects by default. This means you can use the images however and wherever you need, for as long as you need, while we retain the legal ownership of the images.

    Brands looking to own the image rights will need to pay a full buyout fee.
