Editorial update: 28 October 2026 · Business planning reference · Review scope
Match the message to the buyer’s decision
Reach small retailers and makers needing accurate listing images with a scope-led outreach draft and evidence of the promised result.
This is a planning reference for product photography studio. The order below is an invented teaching case. It is not a completed customer job, an operating approval or a prediction of demand or earnings.
The example offer and its boundary
Fictional PHOTO-161 photographs ten handmade soap products, three approved views each: front, back label and angled detail. Output is 30 edited JPEGs, long edge 3000 px, sRGB, filenames SKU_view, plus contact sheet. Retouching removes dust/background marks but does not change label claims, colour or product dimensions. Client supplies lawful product/artwork rights.
A draft to adapt before sending
Hello [maker], I can produce 30 consistent product images for ten SKUs with an approved colour/lighting sample. Please send product sizes, label requirements and intended uses so the shot list and licence are clear.
This is an unsent draft. Replace placeholders and assumed prices, confirm the actual scope and remove any claim you cannot support. No prospect was contacted for this example.
