Ceramics Photography

Is it time to give your pottery pics a fired-up refresh?

Are your product photos feeling a little flat? Lacking in texture and handcrafted magic?

If your pieces fly off the shelves at markets and from the beautiful shops that stock your work, but struggle to get the same attention online, chances are your photos aren’t capturing their true beauty.

You spend hours shaping, trimming, firing, glazing - pouring your creativity into every piece - and photography always seems to slip down the to-do list (or off it completely). That’s where I come in!

I’ve created a range of packages designed to help makers like you showcase your work with warmth, texture, and soul.

Set of three handmade ceramic vases and a mug with abstract watercolor glaze designs, one vase with green leaves, displayed on a table with a neutral tablecloth and wooden coasters.
Colorful ceramic bowls and plates with a blue and white speckled pattern, arranged on a table with a pink and a green placemat, and a small glass vase with pink and purple tulips.

We’ll work together to tell the story of your ceramics and capture your brand personality. After a discovery questionnaire, I’ll develop a mood board, source props and style the perfect scenes for your work. Whether that’s cosy and comforting, nature inspired, bright and playful, or something else entirely. Your photos will be crafted with your ideal customer in mind.

I have a variety of packages to choose from which can include lifestyle shots, banner images, studio cut outs and seasonal content so you’ll be all set to give your shop and socials a makeover in no time!

 Ceramic Photography FAQs

  • I’m usually booked around 8 weeks ahead but you can book in for future shoots if you have a specific launch in mind. Even if I have availability I’d recommend a minimum of 4 weeks to allow for planning.

  • I have a huge selection of props and backdrops available but you’re more than welcome to provide some of your own - I love collaborating on the styling to bring your brand personality to life. If we need any perishable props, for example fruits and florals to style your beautiful bowls and vases, I’m happy to source these so they’re fresh.

  • Of course! I understand that posting large amounts of ceramic pieces is expensive and takes a lot of packaging so if you’re close enough to Dundee, you’re more than welcome to drop off your work.

  • I’m more than happy to come to you, though travel costs aren’t included in product photography shoots so please let me know where you’re based and I can give you a price.

    If you’re looking for photographs of your workspace and process, please check out my brand photography packages.

  • You’ll typically receive your gallery of images in around 2 weeks. If you have a deadline, please let me know at the time of booking so I can make sure I can accommodate this.
