Product Photography
Overview

ColoursAlive is a product photography studio based in Pallikaranai, Chennai. Professional product photography means controlling every variable in the environment — lighting, perspective, background, creative interpretation — to produce a finely crafted final image. It's a domain that rewards specialist experience, and that's what we bring to every brief.

We work with medium-sized enterprises, IT and D2C brands, and premium retailers who need imagery that holds up across marketplace listings, brochures, campaigns and out-of-home (OOH). Whether your product fits on a table or fills a studio floor, we have the space, the equipment, and the process to do it justice.

Our work spans advertising product photography, eCommerce product photography, brochure and packaging photography, exploded-view and component photography, and — most recently — 3D product visualisation in partnership with Nabina Ghosh Creatives for products that don't yet physically exist.

Why choose ColoursAlive for product photography

Two decades of hands-on experience
Principal photographer Susheel Chandradhas has been working in commercial photography since 2004. He has worked with a wide range of clients, industries, and products — from high-end advertising images to high-volume eCommerce catalogues — and is always ready for the challenge a new brief brings.
In-house studios built for the job
Our main shooting floor at Fortune Studios, Pallikaranai is a 36ft × 24ft × 12.5ft space with an 8ft × 4ft service door, black and white seamless concrete backgrounds, flexible lighting, and generous makeup and changing spaces. A second, smaller in-house studio adds staging and overflow room for large shoots. Between them we accommodate everything from jewellery to motorcycles to three-wheeled vehicles.
High-quality files, start to finish
Everything starts with lossless RAW capture, giving us maximum flexibility in post-production before delivering high-resolution finals. We deliver both JPEG and TIFF files, sized for print, web, and marketplace use.
Flexibility to meet your timeline
We're set up to handle your photography needs whatever the deadline or complexity. Standard turnaround is 7–14 days; express options are available for time-sensitive launches.

Product specialists for your brand

In depth

Imagine a new product on its way to market. Its best features need to be showcased so that it stands out against every competitor, on the shelf and on the screen. That is the brief we solve week after week: understanding what makes your product different, then using light, angle and styling to make that difference obvious at a glance. It is why brands engage a specialist product photographer in Chennai rather than pressing a general-purpose camera into service.

Because we photograph products every day, we have working answers to the problems they bring: reflective surfaces, transparent packaging, fine textures, awkward scales. A watch face and a motorcycle demand different lenses, different lighting and different post-production, and each shoot is planned around those demands instead of forcing every product through the same setup.

Our professional product photography services cover the full commercial range: advertising and campaign hero shots, clean white-background packshots for catalogues and marketplaces, brochure and packaging imagery, technical and exploded-view photography for manuals, and lifestyle images that put products in context. Many clients combine several of these in one shoot day; a coordinated shot list means the campaign image and the catalogue set come out of a single session, one courier trip, one invoice.

When products cannot travel, we do. On-location product photography is available across Chennai, Tamil Nadu and pan-India for large, installed or high-quantity items. And because most of our clients come back shoot after shoot, we keep lighting notes and file standards for each brand, so every new batch of images matches the ones before it.

Product photography FAQs

How much does product photography cost in Chennai?

Pricing depends on number of SKUs, complexity of styling, and post-production required. Simple eCommerce shoots scale down sharply per SKU at volume — 100+ products together can bring the per-unit cost down significantly. Send us your brief and we'll come back with a clear quote.

How many products can you photograph in a day?

It depends on complexity. Simple eCommerce SKUs on a white background run 30–50 per shoot day. Hero shots with styling and multiple angles average 5–10. Large items like bicycles and motorcycles typically run 2–3 per day with full coverage.

What's the difference between advertising and eCommerce photography?

eCommerce photography presents the product accurately and truthfully — typically on a white background, as a substitute for seeing the product in person. Advertising photography is designed to market the product at its most compelling, with more creative lighting, styling and retouching. We handle both, and can plan a single coordinated shoot that covers both needs.

Do you have a minimum number of items?

No minimum number of items, but we do have a minimum session fee. For eCommerce work, economies of scale apply — the more products in a single session, the more efficient the per-item cost.

Do I need to bring my products to the studio?

Most clients ship to our Pallikaranai studio in advance. Make sure items arrive clean, well-assembled, and undamaged. For large items or facility shoots, on-location photography is available across Chennai, Tamil Nadu and pan-India.

Can I be present during the shoot?

Yes — and we encourage it for brand-defining work. We shoot tethered, so remote teams can review images on a connected screen in real time.

Do you offer on-location photography?

Yes. When products are large and difficult to move, or when quantity is high (typically around 1,000+ items), on-location photography often makes more sense. We can come to your facility across India.

What if my product doesn't exist yet?

For pre-production renders, crowdfunding imagery, or variant exploration, we work with Nabina Ghosh Creative Services for 3D product visualisation. Photography captures what exists; 3D brings concepts to life before production begins.

What can I use the photos for?

Everything. We deliver high-resolution JPEG and TIFF files suitable for print, web, social, marketplace listings, and broadcast. Full commercial usage rights are included.
