How we work

1. Prepare

We’ll work with you to understand your product and brand and what photos you would like to achieve.  After finalising your shoot list and concepts we’ll then start sourcing props, stylists, and models (if needed) and most importantly confirm your shoot date.

2. Shoot

Our team of experienced photographers and creative professionals will meticulously style your products and bring them to life.

3. Deliver

We’ll do basic retouching of the images like colour management or more extensive retouching like background removal, which will have been agreed prior to the shoot. We’ll send you a link to download the images, and then, your product photos are ready for you to use.

Pricing

We offer competitive full and half day rates for Beauty Photography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What other services do you offer for beauty products?

We offer a wide range of services including motion(video, stop motion, 360º), and styled imagery.

What’s included in a shoot with FBS?

Every photoshoot with FBS includes access to our professional creative team.

We hand pick our stylists and creative team based on the requirement of your photo shoot.

We have a range of inhouse backdrops and props which can be used but we can also help source additional styling if required.

The Studio includes a full-sized cyclorama for model shoots, professional product photography table, and state of the art photography and videography equipment.

We provide basic retouching; colour matching and removal of dust spots on all images. Deep etching (background removal) and more elaborate retouching can be provided at a cost and need to be agreed prior to the shoot.

Our reception is staffed 9am-5pm Monday to Friday for product drop off and collection and we have a delivery dock for larger deliveries.

Need something else? Just ask us and we’ll try to help.

What are your turn around times?

2-5 business days from shoot date depending on workload and post production requirements.  If you have a hard deadline let us know (prior to the shoot) and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate it.

As a client what can I do ensure my pictures look their best?

Great question! Some of our top tips include:

  • Sending products 1 week prior to ensure we can check everything has arrived and it can be cross checked against the shoot list.
  • Product to be sent in shoot-ready condition–make sure there are noscratches or dints.
  • Send multiple products, where feasible, so there is a backup in caseproduct is damaged.
  • If you have a beauty product and are doing product smears then we recommend providing samples or testers for us to use.
How many shots are included in a full or half day shoot day?

I wish there was a simple answer but it does really depend on the product and complexity of the shoot and type of clothing. 

A simple product photography shoot on white background will be quicker than a styled shoot with props and multiple backdrops.

We’ve done hundreds of photoshoots so set up a 15 minute chat with us and we’ll be able to give you an idea of how long it will take.

Do I get my products back?

Absolutely. We like to keep products until final images are delivered to you (just in case there is some colour matching is required).  

With limited studio space, we ask that you come and collect your products within 5 days of photo delivery. Alternatively, we can arrange to have them posted back to you. For longer term storage we can provide a cost estimate.

How does your pricing work?

Most of our shoots operate on a full or halfday rate.

For ‘simple’ shoots that don’t require a stylist we maybe able to offer per image pricing.

For more information visit our pricing page.

50% payment is required to confirm your shoot and the remainder is payable prior to your final content being released.
