Agencies and studios

Twelve clients, twelve product ranges, one of you.

Small clients cannot fund a photographer and still expect creative every month. Photograph their samples once and produce the variants in-house.

Agencies and studios

Every agency serving small brands hits the same wall. The retainer covers strategy, copy and media buying. It does not cover a photographer, and the client does not have one either — so the creative gets built from whatever images they already own, which are usually three photographs taken by the founder in 2021.

You can either decline the work, absorb a photography cost that eats the margin, or produce campaigns from bad source material and watch them underperform. None of those is a good answer, and all three are common.

Why your photos are costing you sales

The volume problem compounds it. A single client testing paid social needs eight to twelve creatives a month, and you have twelve clients. That is a photography operation, not a line item, and it is why most small agencies quietly cap how much performance work they take on.

Meanwhile the client's existing images are inconsistent with each other, so even the good ones cannot be used together in a carousel.

It has to still be your item

Client work is organised per project, so one account's samples, generations and galleries stay separate from another's. The billing is per credit rather than per seat, which means a heavy month for one client does not become a subscription decision.

The product itself is unchanged: their actual samples, restaged. You are not inventing a product for a client, which is the version of this that gets an agency into trouble.

  • Per-project separation, so client work never mixes
  • A month of ad creative from one sample photograph
  • Take on performance clients you would otherwise decline
  • Charge for creative production without carrying a photographer

Questions people ask before they sign up

Can I keep client work separate?
Projects exist for exactly that. Each client gets its own, with its own items, generations and gallery.
How does billing work across several clients?
Credits are account-wide rather than per seat, so you buy what the month needs. Purchased credits never expire, which suits uneven client demand.
Do I need the client to send physical samples?
Yes — the whole method restages a photograph of a real item. In practice most clients will happily post you one product.
Can I white-label the output?
The images carry no marking on any paid plan. What you deliver is a photograph of your client's product.
