At Grey Studios, we understand the system behind e-commerce photography. We get the purpose, the rules, and the expectations. But we also believe there’s creative freedom within those boundaries — and we love finding those spaces for our clients to shine.

E-commerce photography we shot for a retail space that wanted their identity to speak through their e-commerce platform through styling, but still read clear and true to products. opting out of the one product on pure white and making it more about marrying what you will see and experience in their physical shop.

The Power of a Clean White Background — Done Right

There’s a reason the classic white background has become the standard for e-commerce listings. It's clean, distraction-free, and ideal for line sheets, catalogs, and platforms like Amazon or Shopify that require consistency.
