Commercial & Product Photography London
Robbie Ewing has been shooting commercial and product photography from his Camberwell studio for eight years — with a background in eCommerce and retail display that runs considerably deeper than that.
He spent over a decade running the eCommerce operation at Dimensions Displays, handling all the product photography in-house from around 2008 onwards. That experience — understanding what images need to do at point of sale, across web and print — shapes how every shoot is approached.
Products Across Every Category
We work across a wide range of product categories — furniture and homeware, drinks and spirits, jewellery and accessories, beauty and skincare, tech and audio equipment.
Whether your product needs a clean white-background packshot or an in-context lifestyle image, the approach is adapted to what you’re selling and where the images will appear.
A Studio Built for Product Work
All shoots take place at Arch Photo Studio — a fully equipped, blackout studio in Camberwell, SE5. The controlled environment means lighting is precise and repeatable, which matters when you need consistency across an entire product range.
The studio is on the ground floor with shutter-door access, making it practical for loading large or awkward items — furniture, display systems, and oversized props are all straightforward to get in and set up.

Product Images That Sell
Clean, consistent imagery is the backbone of any online store. We produce white-background packshots, colour-background variations, and multi-angle sets — everything a product listing needs to convert a browser into a buyer.
Lighting is calibrated to show surface texture, material quality, and form. The detail that helps a customer understand what they’re looking at before they commit. Where you have a full product range, we keep the look consistent across every shot so your catalogue holds together visually.
Photography With Character
For brands that need more than a clean background, we create styled and in-context imagery that places a product within a world. Props, backdrops, and lighting style are all planned around the brief before anything is shot.
This kind of work tends to perform best on social, in lookbooks, and in campaigns where the product needs to feel like part of something — not just sit in front of a lens.
Styled overhead compositions — products arranged with props and textures to create a coherent visual mood.
Purpose-built environments in the studio — backdrops, surfaces, and props selected to match the brand aesthetic.
Products photographed in context — on location or in a constructed interior setting — for a more editorial feel.
Images planned and shot specifically for social media and campaign use, with format and cropping considered from the start.
McCollin Bryan
McCollin Bryan designs and makes high-end furniture from their East London studio — each piece handcrafted and built to order. Ahead of a Decorex launch, they needed a full suite of imagery to support the collection across multiple channels and formats.
The brief called for both clean product photography for the web and editorial-style compositions for a printed brochure. We handled the shoot from brief through to final delivery — white-background packshots and styled in-situ work across a range of pieces, shot in a single day.
The resulting images were used across the McCollin Bryan website, press materials, social media, and the printed Decorex brochure.

A Commercial Eye, Not Just a Camera
Robbie trained as a textile designer and went on to run the eCommerce and sales operation at Dimensions Displays — a retail and exhibition display company. He handled all the product photography for that business from around 2008, shooting across a wide range of display hardware, exhibition stands, and printed media.
That background means he understands what product imagery is actually for. Not decoration — a commercial tool that helps people understand what they’re buying and feel confident enough to buy it. The difference shows in how a shoot is planned, what gets prioritised in the frame, and how images are delivered for use.
Robbie has been shooting commercially for eight years, but his understanding of eCommerce and retail goes back considerably further. That’s the difference between a photographer who knows how to light a product and one who knows why it matters.
A Simple, Flexible Process
Every project is different, so we keep things straightforward. Most clients aren’t sure exactly what they need beyond good photographs — that’s fine. We ask the right questions and make a clear recommendation before anything is planned or booked.
Tell us what you’re shooting, how many products, and where the images will be used. The more detail the better, but even a rough idea is enough to start the conversation.
We’ll discuss the best style and setup for your products — packshot, lifestyle, or a mix — and talk through lighting, backgrounds, and any props or set builds required. You’ll get a clear recommendation and a price before anything is confirmed.
Everything is set up and ready on the day. Shooting is tethered to an iMac so you can review images as we go and feel confident about what you’re getting. Adjustments are made in real time — no surprises at delivery.
Edited images are delivered ready to use — typically within a few days of the shoot. Files are supplied in the formats you need for web, social, and print.
