Handbag photo guide
Hardware, leather grain, interiors and on-shoulder scale for luxury, contemporary and everyday bags, and how our studio shoots each one with AI.

A handbag sits between fashion and accessories, so it needs both kinds of photo. Shoppers want a clean, structured packshot that shows the shape and hardware, and they want to see it on a shoulder or in a hand to judge the size.
Then come the questions only images answer. Will my laptop fit? What's the lining like? Is the strap long enough to wear crossbody? A complete set answers each one, for every colour the bag comes in.
Buckles, chains, clasps and logo plates are polished metal. They should shine like metal without mirroring the studio or burning out to white.
Pebbled, smooth, embossed or suede: grain is how a shopper judges quality. It has to stay visible when they zoom in on the panel.
On the shoulder, crossbody, in the hand or the crook of the arm. Each carry shows the size and strap length in a way a packshot can't.
An open bag showing lining, pockets and capacity answers the questions that otherwise stop a purchase.
Bags are filled with paper or fitted with a stand to hold their shape, and the support is retouched out afterwards, piece by piece.
Flags and polarising filters tame reflections on metal parts. Each bag's hardware sits differently, so the light is adjusted for every one.
On-body shots need a styled model and outfits that suit each bag, booked for a day and planned around the samples on hand.
Open-bag shots are dressed with a wallet, phone and keys so capacity reads, then shot as another set-up.
Send photos of the bag. We shoot clean packshots with AI, front, side, back and top, with the bag standing in its true shape.
We cast models with AI and carry the bag the way it's designed to be worn, sized correctly against the body.
Metal parts keep their finish and the leather keeps its grain. A person checks each image against your bag before delivery.
Each colourway is shot in the same light and angles, checked against the real swatch so the range sits together.
Our on-model photoshoot service covers carry shots, the packshot service the clean angles, and accessories shows the work.
