The Studio Behind
the Work.

Zimmerman Photo is a commercial product photography studio in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. We've spent over 20 years helping brands create imagery that sells, communicates value, and holds up in the places it matters most.

Paul Zimmerman, Zimmerman Photo

Two Decades.
One Focus.

Paul Zimmerman earned his BFA in Advertising Photography from RIT in 2001 and spent his early career in architectural photography before shifting his focus entirely to product work. That background shaped how he thinks about light, space, and composition: qualities that translate directly into product imagery that feels considered rather than generic.

Over the past 20+ years, Paul has built a reputation for clean, compelling product photography that does its job: drive sales, communicate quality, and strengthen brand identity. He works directly with brands, marketing teams, and creative directors, with no layers between client and photographer.

3,300 Square Feet.
West Town, Chicago.

The studio is located at 333 N Oakley Blvd in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. At 3,300 square feet, the space is built for production efficiency: multiple tabletop shooting sets, purpose-built lighting configurations, and enough room to work without the compromises that come with smaller spaces.

We shoot in-studio and on location. For brands outside Chicago, we offer remote services and work with clients nationwide. Whatever the logistics, the work doesn't change: clean images built to perform.
