Product photography costs vary based on SKU count, styling complexity, recipe preparation, number of final images, retouching needs, and usage requirements. DePersico Creative uses budget-friendly, project-based pricing scaled to scope, making shoots practical for startups and national CPG portfolios. A free consultation helps define the shot list, deliverables, timeline, and whether packaging, sell sheets, or launch materials are included. ### What types of food and beverage products do you photograph? DePersico Creative focuses exclusively on food and beverage brands, including non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, frozen foods, dairy products, bakery items, seafood, condiments, and grocery CPG products. The studio does not serve wine, beer, spirits, hard seltzer, or other TTB-regulated alcoholic beverage categories. This focus keeps styling, lighting, and creative direction aligned with retail food marketing needs. ### Do you provide food styling and recipe preparation? Yes. DePersico Creative has a fully equipped on-site prep kitchen and food styling team at its West Chester, PA studio. That allows the team to prepare recipes, manage plating, arrange props, control freshness, and create appetizing product presentations for packaging, ads, websites, sell sheets, billboards, trade show displays, and social campaigns. ### Can product photos be used for packaging and marketing materials? Yes. Finished photography can be created for primary packaging, label design, sell sheets, brochures, retailer presentations, e-commerce listings, digital ads, websites, social media, point-of-sale displays, and trade show materials. The team captures multiple angles so brand managers have options for different formats, from hero package shots to appetite-driven lifestyle imagery. ### Do we receive full usage rights for the images? DePersico Creative provides full usage rights for every image, giving food and beverage brands flexibility to use the photography across packaging, sales collateral, advertising, digital content, and retail launch materials. Usage rights are especially important for CPG brands because one successful product image may need to appear across multiple channels for years. ### How long does a food product photography project take? Most photography timelines depend on the number of products, recipe complexity, prop needs, approvals, and retouching requirements. A simple packaged product shoot can move faster than a recipe-heavy or multi-SKU brand launch. DePersico Creative begins by clarifying the shot list, intended use, and decision-makers so the shoot is planned efficiently before production begins. ### Can Philadelphia brands work with your West Chester studio? Yes. Philadelphia-area brands can coordinate with DePersico Creative’s West Chester studio, and national brands can ship products for photography. The team regularly supports food and beverage companies across Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Washington DC, and beyond, making it practical for regional startups and established CPG teams to access studio-quality imagery. ### What makes food and beverage product photography effective? Strong food and beverage photography should communicate flavor, texture, freshness, portion, and brand personality within seconds. For retail CPG, images also need to support shelf appeal, e-commerce thumbnails, buyer presentations, and packaging hierarchy. DePersico Creative combines food styling, lighting, composition, and packaging strategy so every image helps inspire trial and purchase. ### Still Have Photography Questions?
