Branding Photographer in Chicago for Commercial Brands

Chicago businesses can collaborate on lifestyle and branding campaigns either through custom on-location productions or by shipping products directly to our studio. We begin with a kick-off consultation to map out your concept, shot list, and talent requirements. Jason Bump directs the shoot and manages all post-production retouching, delivering platform-ready image assets aligned with your launch schedule and multi-channel marketing goals.

Brand campaign projects include end-to-end creative direction, shot list development, styling, and lighting tailored to your product line. Rather than limiting you to a rigid shot count, campaigns are scoped to your SKUs, launch calendar, and digital distribution needs. Clients receive fully retouched commercial image libraries sized for digital ads, ecommerce storefronts, social media channels, lookbooks, and retail marketing materials.

Our mail-in photography workflow allows brands anywhere in the country to ship products directly to our studio. Before shipping, we establish a written shot list covering angles, hero shots, and styling preferences. Once products arrive, we shoot and retouch your images, delivering platform-ready digital files in as little as two to three business days before safely returning your items.

We specialize in active lifestyle, footwear, apparel, eyewear, golf equipment, packaged consumer goods, and nutritional supplements. Our client roster includes major international corporations like Adidas, Puma Golf, and Lululemon, as well as emerging direct-to-consumer businesses and Amazon sellers seeking high-converting visual assets. Every visual production is customized to reflect the specific identity and market positioning of your unique brand.

Commercial photography pricing is structured around project scope, ranging from per-image pricing starting at $39 for standard catalog shots to dedicated half-day ($1,350) and full-day ($2,500) campaign rates. Full Amazon listing sets and complex custom lifestyle productions are quoted individually following an initial kick-off consultation to ensure your exact deliverables, shot lists, and licensing requirements are completely covered.

The final number of delivered images is tailored to your brand's specific SKU lineup, distribution channels, and marketing roadmap rather than a generic arbitrary quota. Whether you need an individual hero asset, a complete seven-slot Amazon marketplace listing set, or an extensive lifestyle library for an upcoming product rollout, every deliverable is planned during pre-production to ensure comprehensive catalog coverage.

Founder Jason Bump personally oversees pre-production planning, creative directing, lighting, photography, and digital post-production on every project. Bringing more than ten years of advertising creative director experience to each shoot, Jason ensures that all photographic assets accurately represent your brand voice while adhering to proven marketing principles that capture consumer attention and increase online conversions.

Turnaround times vary based on the scale of the campaign and post-production complexity. For mail-in studio product photography, platform-ready retouched images can be delivered starting within two to three business days from product receipt. Larger on-location lifestyle campaigns are scheduled according to your launch calendar, with specific delivery milestones established during your initial kick-off consultation.
