Photography to Boost Your Performance
Paris Photo Agency — product shots, lookbooks, editorial shoots: we plan each shoot to cover all your needs in a single day.
Product visuals: the first factor influencing the purchase decision
On Meta, Shopify, and Amazon: a poor-quality image can undermine a product’s appeal before the customer even sees the price. Conversely, a well-designed image can double the CTR of a paid campaign and reduce the e-commerce return rate by 20%.
Our Bastille studio produces pack shots, lookbooks, and editorial content designed for performance: formats optimized for paid advertising ratios, e-commerce and editorial retouching, and delivery organized by product code.

A well-established process,
measurable results
Pre-production and planning
3 to 5 daysAfter determining the specific requirements for the shoot, we create a highly optimized schedule that allows us to get the most out of the session. The goal: unlimited shooting.
We also handle casting, location scouting, and selecting makeup based on specific requirements and needs. Every look is prepared and organized in advance of the big day.
Shoot
1 to 2 daysWhether in our Bastille studio or on location, we'll manage the shoot so that all you have to worry about is enjoying the live rendering.
A photoshoot led by our artistic director and dedicated photographer. Each look is captured from various angles and with different expressions and poses to maximize the number of usable images.
Alterations and delivery
5 to 7 daysAfter the selection process, we retouch all the requested photos. This includes color grading, cropping, and background cleanup. We deliver two versions: e-commerce (white or neutral background) and editorial (with atmospheric elements).
Fast delivery and formats optimized for various planned uses: high resolution for printing, social media formats (1:1, 9:16, 4:5).
Plan my photo shootOur Culture at Stride-up
Transparency
No empty talk, no empty promises: we tell it like it is. Results, successes, and areas for improvement—everything is shared clearly and candidly.
Quality
Every project deserves the highest standards. Whether it’s a campaign, content, or visual design, every detail is carefully crafted. Quality is what makes the difference in the long run.
Performance
We don’t build campaigns; we build growth engines. Every strategy is designed to evolve, adapt to data, and deliver measurable results.
Synergy of levers
Digital marketing never operates in isolation. To implement truly effective digital strategies, it integrates with the agency’s other areas of expertise and creates a powerful synergy.
Photo Shoots & Creative Ads
The product shots and editorial images from the photo shoot are used for all paid advertising: Meta static ads, Instagram carousels, and Google Display banners. Each image is produced in the correct aspect ratios from the start.
Product Photography & Social Media Ads
A well-designed product image can double the CTR of a Meta campaign. Collection lookbooks provide content for seasonal ads, while product images are used in Catalog Ads campaigns.
Shooting & Amazon
Amazon rewards product listings with rich content: at least 7 images, lifestyle photos, and multi-angle product shots. Our studio produces visuals that maximize conversion on Seller Central.
Photo Shoot & Email
Newsletters, automated workflows, seasonal campaigns: professionally shot visuals help define the visual identity of emails and improve the average click-through rate.
Our customers talk about us
"Stride-up is currently helping us with the creative side of things. It’s allowed us to test new concepts with static images, which we’d kind of given up on. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen CTRs at these levels. That’s what we’d like from a lot of service providers: when things run smoothly, it’s pleasant, and we don’t have to change our processes.”
Fashion & Clothing“We had a project to film a customer testimonial, and Stride Up supported us from pre-production through post-production. From the pre-production phase to managing the shoot, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, attentiveness, and creativity. They quickly understood our expectations and proposed an approach that aligned with our brand image.”
Financial Services & E-commerce“We’ve been working with Stride-up for six months. The agency acts as an extension of our in-house team, functioning as an agile and experimental creative lab. Their primary mission is to produce innovative content for our Meta acquisition campaigns. Through this collaboration, we’ve identified several new ad formats with high potential for Le Closet, which have quickly emerged as top performers.”
Clothing & ShoesFAQ: Photo Shoot Agency
What kind of photo shoot is best for an e-commerce or DNVB brand?
For a brand that sells online, there are three main uses. E-commerce product shots: white or neutral background, multiple angles, clean retouching—the goal is to reduce returns and increase conversion on product pages. Editorial shoots: models in context, collection atmosphere—used for social media, newsletters, and paid campaigns. Collection lookbooks: comprehensive coverage of the entire range in one or two days, with a consistent artistic direction. Our approach: covering all three uses in a single day.
How much does a photo shoot with Stride-up cost?
Our packages depend on the scope of the project: the number of products or looks to be photographed, the cast (models, makeup artists, stylists), the location (Bastille studio or on-location), and the type of retouching (e-commerce vs. editorial). A Packshot package (half-day studio session, 8 to 12 products, white background, e-commerce retouching) starts at a modest price. An Editorial package (full day, model, art direction, 15 to 25 looks) is more substantial. We’ll discuss this during our initial consultation and provide a detailed quote.
How long does it take to complete a photo shoot from start to finish?
Our standard timeline:
- Brief and casting: 48 to 72 hours
- Pre-production: 3 to 5 days
- Shoot: 1 to 2 days
- Selection and editing: 5 to 7 business days
From initial briefing to final delivery: 2 weeks on average. For complex shoots (multiple locations, extensive casting, large volume), allow 3 to 4 weeks. For collection launches, we recommend briefing 4 to 6 weeks in advance.
Studio or outdoor location for a fashion shoot?
The Bastille studio offers complete control: precise lighting, neutral or colored backgrounds depending on the art direction, and a consistent setting. Ideal for e-commerce product shots and lookbooks with a strong visual identity. The outdoor setting adds a sense of real-life context and authenticity—perfect for lifestyle content and collection editorials. Our recommendation: combine both in a single shoot. Morning in the studio for product shots, afternoon outdoors for lifestyle looks.
What file formats are provided after a photo shoot?
Our standard delivery includes:
- High resolution (minimum 3000px) for printing and e-commerce
- Optimized aspect ratios for each social media platform: 1:1 for the feed, 4:5 for Instagram portrait mode, 9:16 for Stories and Reels
- Editorially edited version and e-commerce version (white or transparent background for product shots)
Files are named and organized by look, product reference, and format to facilitate integration into your CMS or DAM. Unedited raw footage is available upon request.
Why choose Stride-up for the photo shoot instead of a freelance photographer?
A freelance photographer thinks in terms of artistic output. Stride-up thinks in terms of performance. Our photo shoots are planned to produce assets that are immediately usable for paid social media, e-commerce, and editorial content—in the right formats, with the right aspect ratios, and organized for your team. We coordinate the artistic direction with your ongoing Meta and TikTok campaigns so that every visual is an asset that generates ROAS, not just pretty content.
Are casting and styling included in the service?
Yes: model casting, hair styling, makeup, product styling, and set rental if needed. Our Bastille studio offers complete flexibility, and we can also shoot on location with location scouting. The concept is simple: a single point of contact for the entire production, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors.
