photography specialists

MO Studios is a product and jewellery photography studio at 15-17 Regent Place in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter (B1 3NJ). We work with brands across the UK. Clients nearby can drop products off at the studio, and clients elsewhere in the country can send them by courier.

We specialise in jewellery and watches: rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants and luxury timepieces. We also photograph almost any other e-commerce product, including accessories, cosmetics, homeware and gifts.

Jewellery is small, highly reflective and shows every flaw at close range. Polished gold and silver mirror the whole room, diamonds need controlled light to sparkle, and dust or fingerprints that you can't see by eye become obvious in a close-up. We shoot each piece with lighting set up specifically for jewellery, then retouch it so the metal looks clean and the stones look bright.

Yes, every image is retouched. We first photograph the product to capture its exact shape, then rebuild the surfaces in Photoshop. That removes dust, fingerprints, scratches and stray reflections, and lets us match colour, background and cropping to your brand guidelines.

Yes. We produce clean white-background packshots that suit marketplace rules, such as Amazon's requirement for a pure white background on the main image. We keep framing and lighting consistent so your whole catalogue looks uniform. We can also crop and size images for your own Shopify, WooCommerce or other online store.

Packshots are clean, consistent images of the product on a plain background. They are used on product pages, where shoppers compare details. Creative photography puts the product in a styled scene, with props, colour and mood, for adverts, social media, banners and campaigns. Most online stores use packshots for every product and creative images for their best sellers.

Yes. On-model photography shows how a ring, earring or necklace looks when worn and gives shoppers a real sense of scale. It works well alongside packshots on product pages and in campaigns, and it helps customers feel confident about size before they buy.

Yes. Short product videos show how jewellery moves and catches the light, and 360° spins let shoppers rotate a piece and see every angle in one interactive image. Both give online customers the closest thing to holding the product, which is especially useful for high-value items.

Yes. Mirror-polished gold and silver, faceted gemstones and dark finishes such as black steel are some of the hardest surfaces to photograph. We control every reflection with studio lighting, then finish the image in retouching so the material looks true to life and free of blemishes.

Product photography is priced per image. The price depends on the type of product, how many angles you need, the level of retouching and whether you want packshots, creative shots, model shots or video. Send us a list of your products and we'll give you a quote. Spread over the life of a product page, good images usually cost only pennies per sale.

It depends on how many products you have and which services you choose. When you send your product list, tell us your deadlines. We plan the shoot around them and agree a delivery date before we start, so you know exactly when your final edited images will arrive.

Online shoppers can't touch or try on a product, so the photos have to do that job. Sharp, accurate and consistent images build trust, show the product's true quality, cut down on returns caused by "not as pictured", and make your brand look as premium as your products. For jewellery and luxury goods, photography is often what decides whether a shopper buys.
