Lancaster and Gibbings are an online retailer, specialising in handmade contemporary giftware, until recently they were shooting all their own photography, but approached Cider Mill looking to re-shoot their entire range. Among other things they had found their own photographs were coming out flat and far too grey, lacking definition and ultimately not allowing their products to stand out.

“As a keen hobbyist, and having over the years invested in suitable equipment for “product” photography, I had always thought my own results were ok. While I obviously had expected some improvement, I would have to say now that I’m amazed by how much better your images are. The whole product range simply looks so much better.
I also want to thank you for the time you took at the outset to make sure I was going to be happy with the end results. I hadn’t expected you to go to so much effort with alternative test shots, and to establishing clearly what I wanted. While I approached it rather anxiously it has proved, due in large part to your patient approach, to be a really enjoyable experience.”

As we offer to all clients, Cider Mill did a free test shoot, to give L&G some examples of the different styles that could be achieved with their products. This was really important to establish that they were happy with everything before we started photographing their whole collection.
L&G decided on the style they liked the most, which Cider Mill then fined tuned before photographer Charley Murrell captured the final images.
For enquires about a free test shoot for your products contact Charley:

Cider Mill offers a wide variety of styles when it comes to product photography, as you can see when L&G also asked us to shot some lifestyle images for an advert.
