The Jewellery Shoot

You never need to be in the room. Your pieces travel to our Little Mount studio, where each one is lit for its own metal and stones, retouched until the colour matches the piece itself, and sent back to you.

  2. Ship Your Pieces to Little Mount

    Courier your pieces to our Little Mount studio in Chennai, or drop them off in person. You don't need to be at the shoot.

    Studio addressShutterfeed CreativeLittle Mount, Chennai 600015Tamil Nadu

    Full courier instructions arrive with your booking confirmation.

    Before you send

    • Use an insured courier.
    • Bubble-wrap each piece individually.
    • Put your piece list — names or SKUs — inside the parcel.
    • A handover form is signed both ways: when your pieces arrive, and when they leave.
  3. We Shoot, Lit for Each Material

    Every piece gets a lighting setup built for its material — yellow gold, white metal, diamonds, coloured stones, pearls, kemp. That is how we control reflections on polished metal, bring out the fire in faceted stones and keep pearls luminous rather than flat.

    Every image is then retouched: dust, fingerprints and scratches removed, the camera and room cleaned out of polished surfaces, and colour matched to the physical piece.

    Planning scales with the package: a one-page intake form for Styled, a moodboard for Campaign, a full concept deck and shot plan for Flagship and a concept deck and model casting for On-Model. From Campaign up, you approve the plan before anything is photographed.

    On-Model is a full-day shoot at the studio, with a model you choose from 3–4 panel options.

  4. Files in 7–15 Working Days

    Finished files arrive in 7–15 working days (2–3 weeks for On-Model), in a Drive folder organised by piece — high-res JPEGs ready for print, plus web-optimised versions. One revision round is included.

  5. Your Pieces Come Back

    After the shoot, your pieces go back to you by courier, or you collect them from the studio. The handover form is signed again on return, so every piece is accounted for in both directions.

The Food Shoot

Your kitchen cooks; we do everything else. We plan the shot list from your menu, bring the styling kit to your restaurant in Chennai, and style every plate on the day — garnish, sauce, steam — before shooting it at the angle that sells it.

  2. We Send a Shot List and Plating Brief

    From your menu we build a shot list — which dishes, in what order, what plating — and send your kitchen a plating brief so they plate for camera: smaller portions, cleaner rims, fresher garnish.

    Every package starts with a shot list and plating brief; Menu Pro adds a short moodboard and Brand & Advertising adds full art direction and a shot plan.

  3. We Come to Your Kitchen

    We shoot on location at your restaurant or kitchen in Chennai.

    • Travel within Chennai is included.
    • Beyond city limits, travel is priced separately.
    • Menu Essentials: one session of about 5–6 hours at your venue.
    • Menu Pro: one full day of about 7–8 hours at your venue.
    • Brand & Advertising: 2 shoot days at your venue.
  4. We Style and Shoot Every Dish

    Your kitchen cooks; we style and shoot. We bring the styling kit — surfaces, props, tweezers, brushes, spray bottles — and handle garnish, sauce, steam, cutlery and napkins ourselves. Each dish is shot at the angle that sells it: overhead for bowls and thalis, 45° for burgers and stacked dishes, side-on for drinks and layered items.

  5. Files in 7–10 Working Days

    Finished files arrive in 7–10 working days (2 weeks for Brand & Advertising), in a Drive folder organised by dish and named to match your menu — high-res, plus web-optimised versions. One revision round is included.

For our first clients

Founding Terms

Founding terms for our first five clients per line: 25% below the published price on your first project, in exchange for a written testimonial, permission to publish the shoot as a case study, and one referral.

The Terms

  • First project only. Your second project is at the published rate.
  • Counted per line. When a line's five founding slots are taken, that line moves to published rates, whatever the other line has left.
  • Applied automatically when you book online.
  • A slot is counted when your booking is confirmed, not when a form is submitted.
  • One referral after delivery. Once your files arrive, you introduce us to one brand you think we could help.

The Free Sample

Judge us on your own jewellery. Send us 3 pieces and we shoot them free, lit and retouched as they would be on a paid shoot. You see the 3 finished images before you spend anything, with no obligation to book.

  1. Tell Us Which 3 Pieces

    Fill in the short sample form — your brand, your Instagram and the 3 pieces you would send.

  2. Courier Them to the Studio

    Pack them as you would for a paid shoot: insured courier, each piece bubble-wrapped, a piece list inside.

  3. See 3 Finished Images

    We shoot and retouch your pieces and send you the 3 finished images. Your pieces come back the same way they arrived.

If you then book as one of our first five jewellery clients, founding terms apply to your first project.

Food brand? There’s nothing to courier. Choose Food on the sample form and we’ll arrange a sample that suits your kitchen, confirmed on WhatsApp — with no obligation to book.

Before the shoot

What You Prepare

Very little. Jewellery brands send clean, polished pieces with a piece list and arrange the courier; restaurants brief their kitchen, stock ingredients for every dish on the shot list plus extras, and clear a well-lit table. Everything else — styling, props, lighting and retouching — is ours.

Jewellery — Ship-in

  1. Pieces cleaned and polished before shipping
  2. A piece list with names or SKUs
  3. Any reference images or brand guidelines
  4. Courier both ways, or drop-off at the studio

Food — On-location

  1. Kitchen briefed and available on shoot day
  2. Ingredients for every dish on the shot list, plus extras for re-plating
  3. A clean, well-lit area or table we can set up on
  4. Your menu, with dish names as they should appear in file names

A prep checklist for your line comes with your advance invoice.
