Having a team who knows both photography and photo retouching is a great mix when you’re picking a studio for your product photos. Your product photos are the gateway to your shop, and as any professional shop, you need to be sure that your customers can see your images in as much detail as possible. They should be able to imagine how it would be to hold it in their hands.
Paper Boat Creative’s professional product photography services ensure that your products stand out. We take crisp, high-resolution photos that entice your customers to hit the “BUY” or “SUBSCRIBE” button. With shot composition and perfect lighting, we create visual masterpieces that complete your branding strategy.
Our professional services are akin to a tapestry woven from a diverse set of talents. It requires skilled set designers who can position the products in the optimum angle, who can quickly use rigs, mounts, reflectors and diffusers to assist the photographer in making the item display right on the camera. The lighting needs to be crisp, we normally use a minimum of four lights on any shot, because we give our utmost genuine focus on making your product look good.
The photographer ensures that every shot is consistent both in lighting and angle for all shoots. Then the team of photo retouchers do meticulous clean ups on the computer, with services ranging from image extraction and cutout on to a white or clear background, dust clean up, logo fixing, colour fixing and even colour replacement if needed.
Once the retouching is done, we make sure that the cropping is all exactly the same. If you have special requests for specific image sizes on the web we can accommodate that, as well. As soon as we finish shooting and retouching, we will email you the results for your review. Our team can make changes based on your feedback.

Why Do I Need Studio Lighting for My Products?
The biggest misconception with product photography is that if it looks good photographed on the phone, it should look fine for we use. After all, aren’t today’s phones equipped to take photos like a pro?
You couldn’t be any more wrong.
Photos taken on a phone are good enough in the hands of an amateur, but they are missing the important elements professionals need to make a good picture. Remember: your customers want details. “Professional” pictures from mobile phones do not hold a candle to the high-quality images produced by professional product photography services.
One of the elements mobile phones can’t mimic is proper studio lighting.
High quality lighting as well as a strong camera will be able to capture every detail of your product, as well as sculpt it to look popping and 3D. Remember that your photos become the gateway for people to experience your product, without being able to hold the actual object, not yet. You want to make your photos as true and as accurate as possible to how it looks and feels in real life. High quality lighting paired with a strong camera, and high end photo retouching will be able to make your products true to touch. Your customers will be able to zoom at 300 to 500% to see all the crisp detail on your product.
When you need your photos to do all the talking, we know how to get it done. We follow studio product photography best practices. For example, if we want to “cut out” the product from the background so it matches white website pages, we add background lights to seamless backdrops, white tabletops, or tabletop light tents to blow out the white background to pure white. Not all products look good against a stark white backdrop, however, so we also use different-coloured backdrops or creative settings to showcase your products in the best effect.
Working with Product Photography Experts
Our product photography is led by our director Rebecca van Ommen, who has previously been the branding consultant and designer for businesses such as Jamie Oliver, 77 Diamonds, Rookie Humans, Ergo Pouch and more. With online shops becoming increasingly popular and easy to navigate, the need for high quality consistent imagery is important.
We hate to brag, but we really are pretty awesome at this. 10 years of experience may just seem like a drop in the ocean, but it’s enough to guide you on creating the best, cost efficient photos for your business. As we evolved into a more seasoned photography agency, we’ve also learned to adapt and adjust to the trends. This enables us to provide fresh, top-quality e-commerce product photography services.
Don’t just take our word for it. Some of the world’s most respected publications have published our work. You’ll see our photos on Creative Arts magazine, Wired Magazine, and Campaign UK. We’ve also won several commercial photography awards.

Shooting in Manila
Our studio is based in the business center of Manila, BGC. We are in a very easy to access area and most of our product shooting can be done in our studio.
If on occasion you may need a larger team of clients and staff at the shoot, or if your product is larger than 5 x 5 ft, we transfer to our second partner studio in Makati.
