Woodridge Retail Group provides conversion-focused product photography for retail and eCommerce. We create retail-ready images that meet marketplace requirements (Walmart, Sam’s Club, Amazon) and help shoppers understand, want, and buy your product—fast.


Why Product Photography Matters


Product photography is the disciplined process of planning, lighting, styling, and capturing images of a product. This allows customers to evaluate it online or in print. Great product photos are:


  • Accurate (true color, scale, and texture)

  • Compliant (follow retailer/marketplace rules)

  • Persuasive (clarify benefits and remove purchase friction)

  • Consistent (same look across SKUs and channels)


The Power of Visuals


In today's digital marketplace, visuals play a crucial role in consumer decision-making. High-quality images can significantly impact sales. They not only showcase your product but also tell a story. This is where we come in.


Why Choose Woodridge for Product Photography


  • Retail-ready by design. We work backward from PDP specs and retail guidelines so your images upload cleanly and look right on the shelf and online.

  • Studio precision + speed. Repeatable lighting, color management, and a QA checklist deliver consistency across large assortments.

  • Transparent pricing. Clear, per-image pricing with volume discounts.

  • Full-service styling. Apparel prep, ghost mannequin assembly, hand models, props, and light set design for brand-right storytelling.

  • Edit suite excellence. Retouching, dust cleanup, color correction, pathing, and variant swaps so your entire catalog matches.


Shot Types & When to Use Them


1) White Background Product Photos (a.k.a. “catalog shots”)


Definition: Crisp studio images on pure white, focused on the product with accurate color and clean edges.

Best for: Primary PDP images, comparison tiles, line sheets, packaging approvals.

What you receive: High-res JPGs suitable for marketplaces, plus web-ready exports and square crops on request.

Typical deliverables Include: Front, back, left/right, top, angled hero, and details as needed.


2) Ghost Mannequin Photos (for apparel and soft goods)


Definition: Apparel photographed on an internal mannequin, edited so the form disappears—creating a 3D “invisible model” look.

Best for: Tees, polos, hoodies, outerwear, dresses, uniforms; when you need shape/fit without a live model.

What you receive: On-white hero + alt angles, collar/hood/hem detail crops, consistent hem-to-neck line.


3) Hand Model Product Photos


Definition: Clean, on-white or neutral shots featuring a hand interacting with the product.

Best for: Scale, usability, portability, texture cues (e.g., caps, dispensers, gadgets, beauty).

What you receive: Sequence showing grip, operation, before/after, or open/close states where applicable.


4) Lifestyle Product Photos (context & story)


Definition: Real-world or set-built scenes that show the product in use.

Best for: PDP secondary images, A+ content, ads, social, email, and retail PDP carousels that require context.

What you receive: Scene-planned images with props, on-brand surfaces, and diverse backgrounds; portrait and landscape orientations.


Other options include: Lay-Flat, flat-lay sets, macro/detail crops, ingredient/feature callouts, multi-packs and bundle shots, as well as label/claims close-ups.


Compliance & Marketplace Readiness


We produce images to meet major retailer and marketplace PDP guidelines, including:


  • Pure white backgrounds as required

  • Proper aspect ratios and generous resolution for zoom features

  • Centered framing, clean edges, no watermarks or promotional badges

  • Consistent angles across a category or brand family


Need retailer-specific sets (e.g., Walmart PDP, Sam’s Club tiles, Amazon listing photos)? We’ll build your spec sheet so uploads are painless.
