Consistent, marketplace-compliant catalogue images for Amazon, Flipkart and your own store, delivered SKU by SKU." resource: "https://www.coloursalive.com/photography-services/ecommerce-photography/" tags: ["photography", "chennai"] timestamp: 2026-07-04T11:56:47+05:30 --- # eCommerce Photography eCommerce product photography is its own discipline. A campaign needs one perfect image; a store needs four hundred images that all look like they belong to the same brand. Identical crops, identical lighting, accurate colour, and files that pass Amazon and Flipkart checks the first time. That consistency at volume, priced sensibly per SKU, is what this service delivers. The work runs through our studio in Pallikaranai, Chennai, configured for catalogue throughput: a standing white-background set, tethered capture reviewed at full resolution as we shoot, a colour-calibrated pipeline from camera to delivery, and a second staging studio so the next batch of SKUs is prepped while the current one is being photographed. Most catalogues reach us by courier from across India; products are logged in against your SKU list, shot, and returned. Colour accuracy earns particular attention here, because in eCommerce inaccurate colour does not just look wrong, it comes back as returns and negative reviews. Everything we deliver is named and organised by SKU, exported in the sizes, ratios and background specifications each platform demands, so your listing team uploads instead of untangling. This page is about catalogue and marketplace volume. If you need hero imagery, advertising and campaign work, or complex single-product sets, that is our product photography service, and the two combine well in a single engagement. Pricing is tiered by volume, so a hundred-SKU catalogue costs far less per image than a ten-SKU shoot. Send us your SKU list and deadline, and we will come back with a clear scope and quote, usually the same day. ## What this covers * **Catalogue** - High-volume product catalogue work — consistent crops across hundreds of SKUs. * **Marketplace** - Amazon, Flipkart and own-storefront photography to platform specifications. * **Lifestyle** - In-context styled photography for product detail pages and social. ## Why ColoursAlive * **A studio built for catalogue throughput.** Our main shooting floor at Fortune Studios, Pallikaranai (36ft × 24ft × 12.5ft) runs like a production line for catalogue work: standing sets, calibrated lighting, and a staging studio keeping the next SKUs prepped. Volume without the quality drift that usually comes with it. * **Marketplace compliance, first time.** Pure white backgrounds that are actually RGB 255, framing that meets Amazon and Flipkart requirements, resolution that survives zoom, and no watermarks or props where the platforms forbid them. A lot of our work starts as a rescue after a listing rejection; it is cheaper to shoot to spec from the start. * **Colour accuracy that protects your returns rate.** We run a colour-managed workflow from calibrated capture through a calibrated edit. For shade-sensitive products, what the customer sees on screen is what arrives in the box, which is the difference between a sale and a return. * **One shoot, every channel.** Marketplace cut-outs, website images, and social crops are produced from the same session. Capture is the expensive part; telling us every destination up front means each SKU is delivered in every ratio and format you need, named and ready to upload. ## How it works 1. **Brief & Quote.** Send us your product list with quantities, categories and any special requirements. We'll confirm the scope, timeline and pricing, then schedule a shoot date. 2. **Ship & Prep.** Products arrive at our Pallikaranai studio clean, assembled and undamaged. We log everything against your SKU list, then sort and prep by category before shoot day to keep the session moving. 3. **Studio Shoot.** We photograph each SKU to the agreed shot list — front, back, sides, detail angles — with consistent lighting and crop throughout. Clients may review tethered during the session. 4. **Retouch & Deliver.** Post-production covers clipping paths, background removal, colour correction and blemish removal. Finals are delivered via cloud link (Dropbox or WeTransfer) in all required formats and ratios. ## Deliverables * **Format Crops:** 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, banner ratios (All required aspect ratios delivered per SKU) * **Retouching:** Cutouts, colour correction, blemish removal (Tailored to each product's specific requirements) * **Turnaround:** 7–14 days standard (Tighter timelines available for launch-critical work) * **Delivery:** Cloud download (Dropbox / WeTransfer) (Files organised and named by SKU, released on final payment) ## Industries served * D2C and direct-to-consumer brands * FMCG and packaged goods * Fashion and apparel * Electronics and gadgets * Health and wellness products * Furniture and home furnishings * Watches and accessories * Leather goods, footwear and bags * Food and beverage ## Common questions **Do you shoot to Amazon and Flipkart image requirements?** Yes. Main images are delivered as true cut-outs on pure white (RGB 255), with the product filling the frame to platform guidelines, at resolutions well above the zoom threshold, free of props, logos and watermarks. Secondary and lifestyle images are planned into the same shot list. We also deliver transparent PNG versions for your own storefront where needed. **How do you price eCommerce photography?** By project, based on number of SKUs, product types, angles per product, and any special requirements like styling or props. Pricing is tiered, so higher volumes attract significantly better per-unit rates. Send us your list and we'll quote clearly, usually the same day. **Can one shoot cover my marketplace listings, website and social media?** Yes, and it should. The capture session is the expensive part; producing marketplace cut-outs, website images and social crops from the same session costs far less than reshooting per channel. Tell us every destination when you brief us and we'll build the shot list around it. **What kinds of products can you shoot?** From large items like bicycles and furniture to small table-top items and delicate pieces like jewellery. Reflective, glass and transparent products need more involved set work and are quoted accordingly. If your category isn't obvious, send us a brief — we likely have relevant experience. **We're not in Chennai. How does shipping work?** Most of our catalogue work arrives by courier from across India. Products are logged in against your SKU list on arrival, inspected, photographed, and returned or held for the next round. You review selects remotely at defined checkpoints during the shoot. **What condition do products need to arrive in?** Undamaged, clean, well-assembled, with perfect printing and alignment on packaging. Damaged or unfinished samples slow the shoot — please send finals where possible. **Can I get retouching for products I already have photos of?** Yes — retouching-only briefs are available. We can handle background removal, colour correction, blemish removal and compositing on images shot by you or another photographer. ## Related services * [Product Photography](product-photography.md) - Studio-grade product imagery in Chennai — controlled lighting, true colour, and clean styling built to sell across catalogue and campaign. * [Bicycle Photography](bicycle-photography.md) - Studio and outdoor cycle shoots in Chennai by a long-running bike specialist — hundreds of frames shot, stills and video coordinated, action work across Tamil Nadu. ## Taking it forward Send a short brief on WhatsApp ([+91 99624 28747](https://wa.me/919962428747)) or email contact@coloursalive.com for a clear scope and quote, usually within a working day.
