Commercial Photography Sydney

Video and stills from one crew on one day, so you stop paying for two shoots.

Content Department shoots commercial product, portrait and lifestyle photography in Sydney. Most brands shoot photography and video as two jobs with two suppliers on two days. Same room, same lighting, same talent. Doing them together is the single easiest saving in content production.

The work

One day off road, a full library.

Exterior stills for the DENZA B5 Leopard, shot on location in Australian bushland: hero frames, details and driving, ready for web, social and print.

Why us

The saving is in the setup, not the shutter.

A shoot day is mostly lighting, styling and talent. The actual capture is a small fraction of it. Once all three are standing there, adding stills costs a fraction of what a separate photography day would.

We run both off the same rig. You get a film and a full stills library from one booking, matched in look because they were lit by the same people in the same room.

  • Stills and motion from one session, matched in look
  • Our own cyc, so the lighting is already rigged
  • One supplier, one invoice, one approval chain
  • Built in Australia, for brands selling to Australians
How it runs

Plan the shot list before the day, not during it.

A good shot list is the difference between forty usable frames and four hundred you never cull.

01

Shot list

Every frame you need, agreed before the day. This is where photography budgets are won or lost.

02

Styling & prep

Products prepped, talent briefed, set built. Nothing gets figured out on the clock.

03

Shoot

Studio or location. Selects reviewed live so nothing is missed before we strike.

04

Retouch & deliver

Hero selects retouched, full set colour matched and delivered in every crop.

What it costs

Priced by the day and what you take from it.

The day is the cost. The tiers are about volume and retouching.

01

Half Day

One setup, one subject. Headshots, a small product set or a single look.

  • Half-day studio session
  • Up to 30 retouched finals
  • All crops and formats
  • Web and print resolution
02

Full Day

Multiple setups and looks. The tier that covers a product range or a whole team.

  • Everything in Half Day
  • Full studio day
  • Up to 80 retouched finals
  • Multiple lighting setups
  • Styling support
03

Stills + Motion

Photography and video from a single session. The reason this page exists.

  • Everything in Full Day
  • Video captured alongside
  • Hero film plus cutdowns
  • Matched grade across both
  • One approval process

Before you brief us

Questions we get asked.

Can you do photography and video on the same day?

Yes, and it is the single easiest way to cut your content budget. Same lighting, same talent, same room, one invoice.

How many shots do we get?

Depends on setups, not hours. Thirty finals from one clean setup is comfortable; thirty finals across six different looks is a full day.

Do you retouch?

Hero selects are included. Bulk catalogue retouching is quoted separately because volume changes the maths.

Can we shoot on location?

Yes. If the location will not do the job, the studio is ten minutes from the CBD and already rigged.

Need stills, and probably video too?

Tell us what you need to shoot. We will tell you whether one day can cover both.
