Your product is great. Make the photo prove it.

I’m Eddie Flores, and I do product photography in San Diego for bakeries, drink brands, supplements, apparel and makers. Clean studio shots, close details and the product in real life, lit so it looks as good as it actually is.

Food and bakery

Food photos you can almost taste.

Parisien Gourmandises, a bakery in La Jolla, had me shoot their pastries. Warm light, every flaky layer, and their own box in the frame so the brand comes along for the ride.

Bottles, boxes and labels

Packaging shots that read on any screen.

A bottle is hard to shoot. It reflects everything, and the label has to read at the size of a thumbnail. Life Force has had me back more than once for their supplements, from clean studio shots to a finished ad with the bottle set against a city view. I’ve shot Mokoko’s coconut milk drinks in the studio and Mamma Chia’s chia drinks out in the garden.

You get the white or plain background shot your store needs, plus a few with a mood that make people stop.

Apparel and handmade goods

Apparel and handmade goods, shot to sell.

Offshore Lifestyle needed their shirts on a real person for their website, front and back, every color. Clean background, consistent framing, so the whole line looks like one brand.

Handmade work needs the same care: a pair of handmade heels on white and on the foot, painted signs on a styled backdrop, custom bottle labels out in the grass. Every piece shot so the buyer can see exactly what they’re getting.

Why it pays off

Better photos. More clicks. Fewer returns.

Online, the photo is the product. People can’t pick it up, so the picture has to answer their questions for them.

It looks like what it is

True color, sharp detail and honest scale. Buyers trust what they can see, and they’re not surprised when the box shows up.

Photo and video, one person

I’m a videographer too, so the product shots, a short clip for social and the lifestyle shots can come from the same day. One plan, one person, everything matching.

Organized from the start

I run my business on systems that keep me fast and organized. We list every product and every angle before the shoot, so nothing gets missed and the photos come back when I said they would.

  • I recently hired Eddie Flores to take photos for an event. I was very impressed with his work, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional photographer.

    The photos he took are absolutely beautiful. They are high-quality, and they really capture the essence of what we were looking for. I am very happy with the results, and I know that I will be using him again in the future.

    If you are looking for a professional photographer, I would highly recommend Eddie Flores. He is talented, creative, and easy to work with. I am sure that you will be happy with the results.

  • Eddie brought the energy! He made individual and team photos at our firm year end event fun and enjoyable. People left the photo space feeling like a million bucks and the quality of his shots was outstanding. I asked our team to make sure Eddie is on the books every time we need a photographer in the future.

  • OMG! The best for your professional photography needs out there. Super affordable, fun, and the best quality. I loved Eddie's work! At the time of our initial consultation, Eddie asked me to be honest with him in relation to what I was looking for. I loved that he asked me to be honest because when the actual photoshoot took place, I felt comfortable telling him what I didn't like. On the day of the actual photoshoot he kept it fun and knew exactly what was going to work for my business. Eddie was able to capture exactly what my business is all about through the photos he took. Eddie is very knowledgeable at what he does and gave me great pointers that will help me with my day to day business. My photoshoot was 4hours long, during half way we took a break to celebrate. I 100% recommend him and will definitely use his services for any future projects. Thank you Eddie! Your energy is contagious.

We list every product, every angle and where each photo will be used. You drop off or ship the products, or I come to you.

Delivery

Ready to post

Edited photos come back in one gallery, named and sized for everywhere you’ll use them, on the day I said they would.

Common questions about product photography.

How much does product photography cost in San Diego?

It depends on how many products, how many angles each, and whether you want styled or lifestyle shots too, so there’s no price list on this site. Text me what you’re selling and where the photos will go, and I’ll give you a straight number with no surprise add-ons.

Do you shoot white background photos for Amazon or Etsy?

Yes. Clean white or plain background shots are the base of most product shoots, framed and sized for your store or listing, plus the detail and lifestyle shots that make the listing stand out.

Can you photograph food and drinks?

Yes. I’ve shot pastries for a La Jolla bakery, juices for a cafe menu, and bottled drinks in the studio and outdoors. Food needs warm light and fast work while it still looks fresh.

Do I bring the products to you, or do you come to me?

Either one. Smaller products can come to me. Food, big items, or anything that belongs in its own space, I bring the lights to you.

Can you shoot clothing on a model?

Yes. Apparel on a real person, front and back, every color, with the same framing so your whole line looks consistent on your site.

Do you make product videos too?

Yes. I’m a videographer as well, so short product clips for social or your website can come from the same shoot.

Got products to shoot?
