Frequently asked questions

If you can't find your answer below, fill in our contact form or jump on our live chat.
What's the difference between product photography and beauty photography
Beauty photography specifically focuses on cosmetics, skincare, and wellness products, requiring specialised knowledge of skin-flattering lighting, texture capture, and color accuracy for makeup. Beauty photographers understand how to photograph luminous skin tones, dewy textures, and glossy finishes that product photographers may not specialize in.

Our beauty photography packages often include skin retouching and can incorporate beauty models for on-model application shots.
Do I need to hire a model for my beauty photography shoot
It depends on your goals. Product-only beauty photography (flatlays, packaging, texture shots) doesn't require models and is perfect for ecommerce listings and wholesale catalogs. However, beauty product on-model photography—, showing skincare or cosmetics being applied or worn significantly boosts engagement for social media and campaign imagery.

Many of our packages offer model bookings as an add-on, or you can choose a package that includes beauty model photography.
What's included in skin retouching for beauty photography
Professional skin retouching for beauty photography includes evening out skin tone, removing blemishes or temporary marks, enhancing luminosity and glow, and subtle smoothing while maintaining natural skin texture. We don't over-edit, the goal is magazine-quality beauty photography that looks flawless but authentic.

Product retouching includes removing dust, adjusting colour accuracy, and enhancing product texture and details.
Can you photograph makeup swatches and color accuracy?
Yes. Colour-accurate cosmetics and makeup photography is critical for reducing returns and customer dissatisfaction.

Our beauty photographers use calibrated lighting and colour-managed workflows to ensure lipstick shades, eyeshadow palettes, and foundation tones are represented accurately online. We can also provide swatch photography on different skin tones if needed.
How long does a beauty photoshoot take?
It depends on the package. A basic ecommerce skincare package (5-10 products, white background) typically takes 2-3 hours. A full editorial beauty campaign with models, styling, and multiple looks can take 4-8 hours or span multiple days. Each package listing specifies the studio time included.
Do you provide props and styling for beauty photography?
Some packages include basic props and styling (e.g., neutral backdrops, simple surfaces, standard beauty props).

For more elaborate lifestyle beauty photography or editorial beauty photoshoots requiring specific themes, custom props, or creative direction, speak directly with your freelancer, who can coordinate this as an add-on. Discuss your vision when submitting your enquiry.
What file formats will I receive?
You'll receive high-resolution JPEG files (suitable for print and web) and web-optimized versions for fast website loading. RAW files are typically not included but can be requested for an additional fee.

All images are professionally color-corrected and retouched.
Can I use the photos for both my website and social media?
Yes. All packages include standard commercial usage rights for your brand's marketing, including website, social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Pinterest) & email marketing.

If your photos will be used for print collateral, and paid advertising, we have standardised commercial usage tiers to purchase alongside your package. Please detail in your enquiry.
What if I need custom campaign photography beyond a package?
Many brands outgrow off-the-shelf packages as they scale. You can browse our roster of beauty photographers and request a custom quote for seasonal campaigns, ongoing content creation, or large-scale editorial beauty photoshoots with multiple models and locations.

Use the enquiry form or our chat window to tell us about your project.
Do packages include makeup artists and hair stylists?
This varies by package. Some editorial beauty photography packages include professional makeup and hair styling. For product-only or ecommerce packages, makeup artists are typically not needed.

If your package doesn't include MUA services but you'd like to add them, let us know in your enquiry and we can coordinate bookings.
How far in advance should I book a beauty photography shoot?
We recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance for standard packages, and 4-6 weeks for custom campaigns requiring models, makeup artists, or specific creative direction.

Rush bookings may be available. Contact us to check photographer availability.
Where do the photoshoots take place?
All beauty and skincare photography packages take place in our professional commercial studio in Cheltenham, Melbourne.

The studio is fully equipped with beauty lighting setups, backdrops, and a curated prop collection. Tour our commercial photography studio for hire.
What's the turnaround time for edited images?
Most packages deliver final edited images within 5-10 business days after your shoot. Expedited editing (2-3 business days) can be negotiated if available for an additional fee.

Complex editorial beauty photography with extensive retouching may take up to 14 days.
Can I see examples of each photographer's work before booking?
Absolutely. Each package links to the photographer's detailed portfolio page showing their beauty photography style, past skincare and cosmetics clients, and sample images.
What happens if I'm not happy with the photos?
We want you to love your beauty photography. Each package includes one round of minor revisions (e.g., colour adjustments, cropping tweaks). If there are fundamental concerns, we'll work with you and the photographer to find a solution. Discuss your specific vision and reference images during the booking process to ensure alignment.
Do you handle GST and contracts for freelance photographers?
Yes. That's one of the main benefits of booking through us.

We handle all the administrative complexity of hiring freelance beauty photographers, including contracts, GST compliance, invoicing, and payment processing. You simply book the package, show up for your shoot, and receive your images. No complex freelancer paperwork required.
What photography styles work best for skincare brands?
The most popular styles for skincare photography include clean minimal shots with white backgrounds and soft lighting to highlight product design and ingredients, lifestyle beauty photography using natural light setups with props like plants, textiles, or bathroom settings, texture and detail shots featuring macro photography that showcases product texture, serums, creams, and glow, and editorial beauty photography with artistic, magazine-quality images for brand storytelling and campaigns.

We recommend mixing 2-3 styles across your brand imagery for versatility.
