Creative Product
Photography
We create hero shots, campaign imagery and fully styled sets for start-ups and established brands across the UK - full art direction, in-house props and stylists, and dramatic lighting that turns a simple product into a campaign-ready image - shot in our studio in Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter.
Who we are: M.O. Studios is a creative product photography studio, headquartered in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter. We shoot hero shots, campaign and editorial imagery, and fully styled sets with props for start-ups, retailers and established brands across the UK, with pricing from £35 per image, full in-house art direction, and a free, no-obligation test shoot for new clients.
Impress Potential Customers with Breathtaking Images!
Need a hero shot for a campaign, or a full set of styled images that do more than sit on a plain white background? Whether you're launching a single hero image or a full advertising campaign, our team has the creative direction and in-house styling to bring it to life.
Not every brief starts with a finished concept, so we build our creative process around collaboration rather than a fixed formula. Send us a moodboard or reference images and we'll style around it, or start from a blank page and we'll develop the concept, colour palette and prop list with you before we shoot.
Fully styled single shots with props, coloured backgrounds and dramatic lighting.

Campaign and editorial photography for advertising
Want a consistent set of images across a full advertising campaign or editorial spread? We liaise with you to set the mood, choose a colour palette and compose a series of images that stay visually consistent from print through to social - so your campaign tells one story, not several.
Hero shot photography for standout campaign images
Your hero shot is often the first image a customer sees, so it needs to work harder than a standard packshot. We combine styling, props, dramatic lighting and colour to create a single standout image built for a homepage banner, ad campaign or product launch.
Styled advertising photography with full art direction
For products that need more than a plain backdrop, we build fully styled sets in-house - coloured and textured backgrounds, curated props, and considered composition - so every shot is art directed from the ground up rather than shot and edited after the fact.
No hidden costs, EVER
Creative photography pricing starts from £35 per image to a bespoke quote, depending on styling, props and concept complexity. Exact cost depends on your brief and shot list; get in touch for a free, tailored quote.

Creative photography questions, answered
What is creative product photography, and how is it different from a standard packshot?
Creative product photography goes beyond a plain white background shot - it uses coloured backdrops, styled props, dramatic lighting and full art direction to create a campaign-ready image. It's ideal for advertising, social media and hero shots, while a standard packshot is built for catalogue and marketplace listings.
What creative photography styles do you offer?
We offer three core creative styles: hero shots for standout campaign images, campaign and editorial photography for advertising, and styled sets with props for a fully art-directed look. Most clients combine styles across a single campaign.
How much does creative product photography cost?
Creative photography starts from £35 per image for a Styled Shoot, £65 for a Full Campaign with extended art direction, and Bespoke Concept work is quoted individually depending on your brief. Get in touch for a free, tailored quote.
Do you develop the creative concept, or do I need to bring my own brief?
Either works. Bring us a brief, moodboard or reference images and we'll build around it, or if you'd rather start from scratch, our team will develop a concept, colour palette and prop list for you to approve before we shoot.
Can you match my brand's existing colour palette and style?
Yes. We work from your brand guidelines, previous campaign imagery or a moodboard to keep colours, backgrounds and styling consistent with the rest of your marketing.
Do you provide props, backdrops and styling in-house?
Yes. We have an in-house prop and backdrop library, plus stylists on hand, and can also source or build bespoke sets for a specific campaign if required.
How long does a creative or campaign shoot take?
Turnaround depends on the size of your shot list and complexity of the concept - a single Styled Shoot can often be turned around in a few working days, while a Full Campaign or Bespoke Concept typically takes 5+ days to allow for concept development and styling.
Can you shoot for advertising campaigns and social media at the same time?
Yes. We regularly shoot a single set-up to deliver both hero/advertising images and cropped, social-ready versions, which keeps your campaign visually consistent across channels.
Do you offer a free test shoot for creative photography too?
Yes. We're happy to shoot one of your products in a simple styled set-up, free of charge and with no obligation, so you can see our creative approach before committing to a full campaign.
