Product photographer in Vienna

A product photographer in Vienna is a photographer who photographs goods for webshops, marketplaces, catalogues and social media: clean packshots on white, styled scenes with props, and details of materials and craftsmanship. Vienna has a strong scene of small manufacturers, designers and food producers, so many shoots combine studio packshots with pictures in the workshop where the product is made.

One date shapes the calendar for many of these brands. VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, founded in 2006, held its 20th edition from 25 September to 4 October 2026; its oldest format, Passionswege, pairs international designers with Viennese craftspeople. Makers who show there need images weeks before for press and invitations, so product shoots cluster in summer. A typical session photographs 10 to 30 products, with retouched files in the formats each sales channel requires.

Location ideas in Vienna

01
Workshops in Neubau and Margareten
Many makers in the 5th and 7th districts work in street-level shops with large windows. Photographing products where they are made adds authenticity.
02
Naschmarkt for food props
Spices, fruit and fresh herbs for styling food and drink products can be bought in the morning on the way to the studio.
03
Studio with daylight
Several photo studios in Vienna’s inner districts rent by the hour or day, with daylight, tables and backgrounds for larger product series.

Good to know

If you exhibit at Design Week in late September, book the product shoot by early August so press images are ready six weeks ahead.
Send a numbered shot list with product names, required angles and file sizes for each channel at least five working days before the shoot.
Bring two flawless samples of every product; dust, fingerprints and creased labels cost far more time in retouching than in preparation.

Frequently asked questions

How many products can a product photographer in Vienna shoot in a day?

For simple packshots on white, a product photographer in Vienna can manage 40 to 80 items a day. Styled scenes take longer, typically 8 to 15 set-ups per day depending on props and lighting.

Can the product photos be taken in our Vienna workshop?

Yes. Many product photographers in Vienna bring a mobile set to workshops and shops, which works well for craft products. Packshots on white are often still done in a studio for consistency.

Do product photographers in Vienna also film short videos?

Some product photographers in Vienna also shoot short clips for social media and webshops, such as a product turning or being used. Mention it in the request so the day is planned for both.
