The Studio

A Product Photography Studio Built for Commercial Work

Our West Town studio is set up for the full range of product photography, from clean on-white ecommerce shots to fully styled lifestyle scenes. We have a white sweep, configurable sets, and the lighting infrastructure to handle complex commercial work without outsourcing anything.

Most clients come to us because they need consistent, high-quality product imagery at a pace that keeps up with their business. Whether that's a one-day catalog shoot or an ongoing studio partnership, we're built for it.

Why Chicago Brands Choose Us

20 Years. One Studio. Every Product.

We've been shooting product photography in Chicago for over two decades. In that time we've worked with independent brands, regional retailers, national CPG companies, and agencies. The range of products is wide: beauty, food, apparel, electronics, housewares, sporting goods, and more.

What doesn't change is the approach: clean pre-production, efficient shoot days, and imagery that's ready to use across every channel. No hand-holding required on your end. Tell us what you need and we'll handle the rest.

Common Questions

Quick answers about working with our Chicago product photography studio.

01Where is Zimmerman Photo located?

Our studio is in the West Town neighborhood of Chicago at 333 N Oakley Blvd, Suite 106, Chicago, IL 60612. It's a full-service production space with multiple shooting areas, including a white sweep, configurable lifestyle sets, and a dedicated client area.

02What kinds of products do you photograph?

We photograph a wide range: beauty and skincare, apparel and softgoods, food and packaged goods, electronics, housewares, sporting goods, and more. If it's a product, we've likely photographed something like it. Our portfolio covers over 20 years of commercial product work across dozens of industries.

03Do you work with small brands or only large companies?

Both. We work with independent brands launching their first product line and with established companies that need a reliable studio partner for ongoing catalog work. The process scales to fit the project, whether you're bringing in 10 SKUs or 200.

04How do I get a quote for a Chicago product photography shoot?

The fastest way is to use our contact form or call us directly. We'll ask about your product, the number of SKUs, the types of shots you need (on-white, lifestyle, commercial), and your timeline. From there we can turn around a clear, itemized quote, no vague ranges.
