The studio / Considered image preparation

The process / Agree the details first

A shared direction.
A consistent result.

  1. 01 / Define

    Set the brief.

    Share the image count, intended use and required output. Source quality, scope, price and timing are reviewed before production begins.

  2. 02 / Align

    Agree the treatment.

    Confirm cropping, background, dimensions and file naming. Where a sample is included in the quote, it establishes the direction for the remaining set.

  3. 03 / Prepare

    Complete the set.

    Process the agreed images, check the output against the specification and arrange delivery in the approved file structure.

Delivery / Made for the next step

The right format.
In the right place.

  • Dimensions & orientationExports sized to the agreed catalog, website or marketplace specification.
  • File type & namingImage formats and naming rules confirmed in the brief, including supplied SKU references.
  • Collection structureFinal sets organized by the product groups or delivery folders agreed for the project.

Source files remain yours. Layered working files, additional formats and long-term storage are included only when specified in the quote.

Client notes / In their words

The details they noticed.

Matthias BergströmStockholm, Sweden
Catalog standardization / Part 1 of 2
“We ran into a real problem before launching our spring catalog — over 800 product shots from three different suppliers, each with its own framing, background tone, and resolution. Varnell Lens standardized the entire set in under two weeks. Every image now has consistent cropping, the same whitespace ratio, and a clean neutral background.”

Before the first file

A little clarity.

Do you take new photographs?

Varnell Lens processes photographs supplied by clients. The services on this site cover image preparation, background and composition refinement, catalog standardization and batch processing. A new photo shoot is outside this scope.

What should I prepare for a quote?

Have a representative set of source images, the approximate image count and your required dimensions, file formats and intended use ready. Any background rules, product margins or naming conventions help define the work accurately.

Are the listed prices fixed?

The listed prices are starting rates for the stated scope. The final quote depends on image quality, editing complexity, quantity and output requirements. The price and delivery schedule are confirmed before paid work starts.

Can photographs from different suppliers be standardized?

Yes, where the source material allows it. Cropping, orientation, background treatment and dimensions can be aligned across a collection. Images that are too small, heavily compressed or significantly out of focus may need to be replaced.

How are revisions handled?

The written quote specifies the review stage and any included revisions. Corrections that bring the files into the agreed specification are distinguished from new creative directions or additional work.

How long will processing take?

Timing is agreed after the source images and brief are reviewed. Batch size, complexity and feedback affect the schedule. If you have a target date, include it with your project request so it can be considered before work is accepted.

Who owns the supplied photographs?

You keep the rights you hold in your original photographs. You must have permission to submit and edit them. The rights to use final deliverables and the treatment of working files are described in the agreed project terms.
