Contact Visual SKUs to discuss your product imaging needs.
Every product photography and image production project is unique – from the types of products, to the images that need to be created, to the project deadlines, to the people who need visibility to the project. Contact us to discuss the details of your project. At Visual SKUs, we treat customers as partners – your success is our success.
Ship your products to Visual SKUs photography studio (or we can ship our studio to you!).
Visual SKUs’ Taylor, Michigan photography studio is fully equipped for large, high-volume still and 360 product photography and image production projects. Shipping to our studio is easy – deliver your boxes and pallets to our studio. When they arrive, we check them in to your project. You have access to our Image Production Management portal to monitor your project, products, and images.
Your project is setup on our online Image Production Management portal.
We setup the details of your project on our online project portal. These details include your product list with numbers and UPCs; product categories and brands; image views required per product, brand, or category; data that you need collected during photography (weights, measures, other data); and users that need access to the project. You can monitor your project online, 24/7. Your products are photographed by our product photography specialists.
During the setup phase, we define the image types needed (still or 360), the images views required (i.e. top, left, right, close-up), and other image specifics (i.e. color correction, tones, brightness, shadows).
When the photographer enters / scans the product number into our Photography Workflow software, they know exactly which image views to capture and the special requirements for each product and image view.
We edit images satisfying your quality standards.
When the images are captured at the photography studio they are immediately uploaded to our Image Production Management portal available for editing. The images are downloaded, edited to your specific requirements, and uploaded to the portal for internal quality control. These images will be available for your review in as little as 24 hours following photography. We edit images satisfying your quality standards.

These images will be available for your review in as little as 24 hours following photography. Your images go through extensive quality control before they are ready for your review.
Images go through a two-step quality control process. In the first step, Visual SKUs’ project manager reviews each image. Images that pass are sent to the second QA step – the customer’s review. You review each image using the online portal.
If images meet your quality standards they move to the formatting workflow stage. If they do not, they are send back for further editing or re-photographing.
We format images to your specifications and send them to you.
The final stage is formatting and delivering the images to your specifications – file type, dimensions, DPI, color mode, white border, and naming. For example, you may require a: • Master set – TIF, not resized, named “product number _ image view” • High-resolution set – TIF, 300 DPI, 2,000 by 2,000 pixels, 15 pixels of white space, named “product number _ image view” • Web set – JPG, 72 DPI, 1,500 pixels on the longest side, 5 pixels of white space, named “product number _ image view” “We outsource all our product photography to Visual SKUs. They are easy to work with, their quality is excellent, and they turnaround images quickly. Their process is simple – we ship products to their studio, review the images online, and approved images flow directly into our Visual SKUs DAM software. We get quality images into our sales pipeline fast with minimal involvement on our end, exactly the solution Transtar was looking for.”
