The shot-ready pack

Same product. Different verdict.

Shoppers decide in the time it takes to scroll past. Every Lumeva project ships as a pack: white-background frames for the grid, lifestyle frames for the story, detail frames for the doubters.

The windowsill special

A mug photographed badly on a bedsheet near a window

What a $38 mug looks like when it's photographed like a $4 one.

  • Window glare eating the label you paid to print
  • Crooked horizon, wrinkled bedsheet, someone's thumb
  • Four colour casts across one product line
  • A grid that whispers “side hustle” at every scroll
After the pack

The Lumeva pack

The same mug on a clean seamless sweep with precise lighting

One light, one sweep, one colour-matched sample. That's the whole trick.

  • White frames that read pure white on every marketplace check
  • Lifestyle scenes with props that justify the price
  • Detail macros: stitching, glaze, grain, threads
  • Colour matched to your physical sample under a gray card

Packages & pricing

Pay per project. Not per promise.

Four packages and one rule: you see the number before you book the call. Every price is for the whole project — shoot, retouch, and delivery.

  • Half holds your slot. The other half lands with the files.
  • Raw and retouched frames are yours — every one.
  • Two revision rounds sit inside every price.

The sample box

A cardboard box is our whole intake desk.

No agency pitch, no studio tour. You post the product; we photograph the product. Here's what belongs in the box.

  1. Two of everything. One to shoot, one for the day a label peels or a lid dents.
  2. The packaging you want in frame. Boxes, tags, tissue. We shoot it; we don't guess it.
  3. A colour reference. Pantone chip, fabric swatch, or the lid of your own tin.
  4. Three competitor listings you'd like to beat. We aim at them on purpose.
  5. A note on the non-negotiables. Logo up. Seam hidden. Label legible.

— The Lumeva house position

Three things we won't do

  • Shoot on a bedsheet.

    Seamless paper, a real light, a gray card. Every time.

  • Retouch it into a different product.

    What arrives in your customer's hands must match what they saw on screen.

  • Hide the price.

    It's on this page. It'll be on the invoice. They match.

Straight answers

Before you post the box

The questions people ask the week before they hand over a product they've spent a year building.

I'm nowhere near New York. Does this actually work?

That's the point. Your samples travel by mail; you direct the shoot over live video. Brooklyn is where the lights live, not where you need to be.

How do I know the colour will match the real thing?

We shoot against a gray card and match every frame to your physical sample under the same light. If your Pantone says rust, it won't ship as salmon.

Can you shoot on models?

Products and hands, yes. Full-body model shoots, no. We'd rather say so than fake it.

Who owns the images?

You do. Raw files and retouched finals, for any channel you sell on.

What if I hate a frame?

Two revision rounds are inside every price. Tell us what's wrong in plain words and we'll reshoot or re-retouch it.

What happens to my samples afterward?

They come home, prepaid, after delivery. We log their condition when they arrive and when they leave.

Your move

Ship us the thing. We'll make it look inevitable.
