Look at a whole catalogue, not the best five frames
Any studio can show five strong images. Ask for one client's full product set, or an entire menu, and check whether item forty still matches item one.

What we photograph
Product and e-commerce photography
Catalogue photography built for a storefront, not a portfolio. The same angle, crop and white balance on every item, so a category page reads as one set.
- White-background packshots for marketplaces
- Styled sets and lifestyle scenes
- Detail, texture and scale frames
- One look held across a whole catalogue
- Clipping, colour correction and retouching in house
Food and restaurant photography
Menu, dish and interior photography for restaurants and cafés, shot in the studio or in your kitchen during a closed slot. One set is then reused on the menu, the delivery apps and the feed.
- A full menu, dish by dish, one look
- Hero and campaign plates with styling
- Drinks, desserts and bakery counters
- Interior, counter and atmosphere frames
- Crops sized for delivery apps and social
Corporate, team, real-estate and hospitality
Headshots and at-work photography that make a company profile, a website and a LinkedIn page look like one business. Units, rooms and facilities are shot on location, around the hours when the light works.
- Team headshots on one consistent background
- At-work and workplace photography
- Company profile and website imagery
- Property, unit and project photography
- Hotel rooms, facilities and event coverage
Video alongside stills, same shoot day
Video sits in the same team, so the set is not built twice. One booked day can produce the stills, the vertical clips and the campaign film from one lighting setup.
- Vertical cutdowns for Instagram and TikTok
- Commercial and campaign film
- Product motion and process shots
- Behind-the-scenes from the same day
- Captions written in Arabic and English
What makes this studio different in Amman
Things you can check before you book, not opinions about the work.
| Production is in house | Shooting, styling, retouching and editing are done by one team in Amman, Jordan. Nothing goes to an outside retoucher, so frame two hundred still matches frame one. |
|---|---|
| A written scope before the shoot | Each shoot is quoted against a written shot list: how many items, how many angles each, what is styled, what is retouched, what is delivered. |
| The files stay in your name | Source files, edited files and the usage rights stay with you, the same principle we apply to ad accounts, hosting and logins. |
| Arabic and English, written separately | Captions, product descriptions and on-image text are written in each language on its own, not translated. Typography is set for Arabic and Latin script together. |
| Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week | Restaurants shoot after closing, retail before opening, and a catalogue due live on Sunday can be photographed on Friday night. |
Phone, freelancer or studio: what actually differs
Most businesses try all three. The difference is not the camera; it is consistency, who edits the files, and who owns them.
| Shooting with a phone in house | Freelance photographer | Studio with post-production | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consistency | Drifts with the light | Holds within a session | Held across every session |
| Styling and set | Whatever is on the table | Often billed separately | Planned first, built on set |
| Retouching | App filters, different each time | Included or outsourced | In house, one written standard |
| Licensing and ownership | Yours by default | Depends on the contract | Files and rights in your name |
| Turnaround | Instant, but reshoots are frequent | Varies with availability | In writing with the shot list |
| Cost pattern | No invoice, hidden reshoots | Quotes hard to compare | Quoted once against a shot list |
Sectors we shoot for
The brief changes by sector: what a menu needs is not what a catalogue or a property listing needs.
How to choose a photography studio in Amman
Ask who does the retouching
Retouching decides how images look more than the camera does. Ask whether the team that shot the day also edits it, to one written standard.
Settle file ownership and usage rights first
In writing, before the shoot: do you receive the source files, can you use the images in paid ads, on packaging and on billboards, and for how long. Studios that limit usage rarely say so.
Ask for a shot list before the day, not after
A shot list turns a vague booking into a countable one: item by item, angles per item, what is styled, what is on white. It is also the only fair way to compare two quotes.
Get the turnaround in writing
Ask when the selects arrive, when the retouched files arrive, and how many rounds of revision are included — in the scope document, not on the shoot day.
Questions about hiring a photography studio in Amman
Which is the best photography studio in Amman?
There is no single correct answer, and a studio that claims the title is telling you nothing. Judge any studio on five checkable things: consistency across a full catalogue rather than five hero frames, whether retouching is done in house, who owns the source files and usage rights, whether you get a written shot list before the day, and whether turnaround is in writing. The Big Agency meets all five, with shooting, retouching and video in one in-house team in Amman, Jordan.
How much does a photography shoot in Amman cost?
It is quoted against a written shot list rather than a flat day rate, because two shoot days can hold very different amounts of work: number of items, angles per item, styling, studio or location, and how many files are retouched.
How many products can you photograph in a day?
As a working guide, a half day typically covers 10 to 25 similar items on a simple set; a full day covers 6 to 12 hero items when each needs styling, props and several angles. Similar items move fastest, because the lighting is built once.
How long until we receive the images?
The scope states when the selects reach you, when the retouched files arrive, and how many rounds of revision are included. Urgency is workable because the studio is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so an overnight edit is a scheduling question.
Is retouching included, and who does it?
Retouching is done in house by the team that shot the day. The scope lists what is included: clipping and background cleanup, colour correction, dust and blemish removal, and the styling correction agreed in advance. Composites are priced separately.
Do you shoot on location or only in the studio?
Both. Product and food work is usually faster and more consistent in the studio, where the set is controlled. Real estate, hotels, clinics, factories and team photography happen on location in Amman and across Jordan. We work with clients across Jordan and the Gulf.
Who owns the photographs and the source files?
You do. Source files, edited files and the usage rights stay in your name, the same principle we apply to ad accounts, hosting and logins. Use the images in paid ads, on packaging, in print and on billboards without asking permission.
Can you write the Arabic and English captions too?
Yes. Captions, product descriptions and any text set on the image are written in each language separately rather than translated, and typography is set for Arabic and Latin script together. If the copy comes from your side, the shot list is built around it.
Do you also do video, and do you work with small businesses?
Video production, editing, motion graphics and colour grading are in house, so stills and video come out of the same booked day and the same set. And yes, small businesses are normal work: start with a narrow shot list of your best sellers, then extend.
