Commercial Photography and Video Production in Amman

We produce commercial photography and video in Amman for products, restaurants, corporate films and campaigns. A typical project runs from the creative brief and shot list, through a half or full shoot day, to a colour-graded edit delivered in the exact formats your website, campaigns and social channels need.

We plan the idea, prepare the shoot, shape the light and direct every frame so the final work feels intentional across campaigns, websites and social platforms.

What we can deliver

What we shoot, and what you receive

  1. 01

    Product and commercial photography

    Studio and on-location product shots built for e-commerce listings, catalogues and paid ads - consistent lighting, clean backgrounds, and the crops each platform expects.

  2. 02

    Restaurant and food photography

    Menu, dish and interior photography shot at the right hour of the day, with styling that survives being cropped into a delivery app tile or a story frame.

  3. 03

    Corporate films, interviews and events

    Company profiles, founder interviews, recruitment films and conference coverage - multi-camera wherever the moment only happens once.

  4. 04

    Campaign videos and social content

    The hero film for a launch, plus the vertical cutdowns shot in the same session, so the campaign is complete on delivery rather than two weeks later.

  5. 05

    Editing, colour and final delivery

    Edit, sound, colour grade, subtitles in Arabic and English, and export in every aspect ratio agreed in the brief.

Why the shot list decides the budget

Most shoots go over budget for one reason: the number of setups was never agreed. A setup is one lighting and camera arrangement, and changing it costs time - time on a shoot day is the expensive part, not the camera.

So we quote against a written shot list. Twenty products in three setups is a half day. Twenty products each needing their own arrangement is two days. Same twenty products, several times the cost, and the difference is visible on paper before anyone books anything.

Usage rights, in plain terms

Ownership questions cause more disputes than money does, so we put them in the quote.

  • You receive full commercial usage rights to the delivered files, with no time limit and no per-channel fee.
  • Raw footage and RAW stills stay with us by default and are archived for twelve months. They can be released on request, priced separately.
  • Anyone appearing on camera signs a release before the shoot. We handle that paperwork.
  • We ask permission before adding your work to our portfolio, and we accept no if the project is confidential.

Process

From brief to delivered files

The exact scope changes with the project, but the thinking stays focused and transparent.

01

Define the story, format and look

Before anything is booked we agree what the footage is for, where it will run, and what it has to make someone do. That decides the format, the length and the visual direction.

02

Prepare the shot list, crew and schedule

A written shot list, the crew and equipment list, the location, any permits the location needs, and an hour-by-hour schedule you receive before the day.

03

Shoot, edit, review and deliver

One round of revisions is included by default. You review a watermarked cut, we apply the notes, then colour, sound and export follow.

What determines the price

Two projects with the same name can differ several times over in cost. These are the variables that actually move the number, so you can judge any quote you receive - ours or anyone else's.

  • The number of lighting and camera setups, not the number of products. Twenty products in three setups is a half day; twenty products each needing their own arrangement is two days.
  • The number of finished, retouched images or the final video length.
  • Studio or on location - a location needs a survey, travel and sometimes permits.
  • Whether talent, styling, props or a set build are involved.
  • How many aspect ratios the final files are delivered in.

Send us the scope and you get a written quote with a fixed figure, usually within one working day. The number does not change unless the scope changes in writing.

What clients ask before booking a shoot

How much does a product photography session cost in Amman?

The two variables are the number of setups and the number of finished images. A half day covering one lighting setup and a small product range costs a fraction of a full day with styling, a model and multiple arrangements. Send us the product list and we quote against it exactly.

How long until we receive the files?

Retouched photography is usually delivered within five working days of the shoot. Edited video takes seven to twelve working days depending on length and whether motion graphics are involved. Rush delivery is possible and is priced separately.

Do you shoot at our location or in a studio?

Both. Products, packshots and portraits are faster and more controlled in the studio. Restaurants, offices, factories and events have to be shot where they are, so we survey the location first and the lighting plan is ready before the day.

Do we own the photos and videos afterwards?

You own full commercial usage rights to everything delivered, permanently, across every channel. Raw unedited files stay with us unless you ask for them, which we price separately.

Can you shoot vertical content for TikTok and Reels in the same session?

Yes, and we recommend it. Planning the vertical crops during the shoot, rather than cutting them out of a wide frame afterwards, is the difference between content that looks made for the platform and content that looks reused.

What if the weather or a delay ruins the shoot day?

Outdoor shoots carry a written weather clause: we reschedule to the next mutually available date at no extra fee. If the delay is caused on our side, the reschedule is on us.
