Commercial Photography That Builds Trust and Sells Your Brand

Why Commercial Photography Matters

You only get one chance to make a first impression. And online, that first impression is almost always visual.

Here’s what the data tells us:

• Websites with high-quality imagery convert significantly better than those without.

• Consumers are 60% more likely to consider or contact a business that uses custom photos over stock.

• Strong visuals increase the perceived credibility of a brand instantly.

• Social posts with real, branded imagery generate more engagement than text alone.

In short, professional photography isn’t just nice to have. It’s a business tool.

At Uptrade Media, we make sure your visuals work just as hard as you do.

• Website recaps

• Press releases

• Internal and external newsletters

Our Approach: Fast, Flexible, Focused on Results

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter photography packages. Every shoot we do is built around your brand, your goals, and your message.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with Uptrade Media:

Location Scouting

Whether you want photos in your office, on-site at a job, or in a styled location, we’ll handle the logistics and layout to make the visuals match your brand.

Professional Equipment

We shoot with high-end mirrorless cameras, prime lenses, strobes, and softboxes. You don’t need to worry about quality. We bring the gear to make you look your best.

Shot Direction & Styling

We don’t just show up and shoot. We direct every shot to highlight your best angles, lighting, and environment. From wardrobe tips to hand placement, we guide the process.

Fast Turnaround

You’ll get your edited photos fast. Typical turnaround time is 3 to 5 business days, depending on the size of the shoot. Rush options are available.

Why Businesses Trust Uptrade Media

We’ve worked with more than 80 businesses across industries — from local law firms and contractors to developers, marinas, and lifestyle brands. They trust us because we don’t just take nice photos. We deliver assets that help them sell, scale, and succeed.

Real Clients. Real Results.

Spade Kreations
We shot lifestyle and product photography for their seasonal collections and lookbook launch. The results fueled email campaigns and increased online sales within the first month.

Queen City Riverboats
We delivered team headshots, brand visuals, and on-site photography used across their website, ads, and print materials. The new media helped boost their booking conversion rate.

We shot aerial and lifestyle photos of their luxury condos, marina, and restaurants. These images became the cornerstone of their new website and investor pitch decks.

When we shoot, we shoot with a purpose. We think beyond the lens, because your visuals should work harder than just looking good.

Photography That Powers Every Platform

Your business lives in more places than just your website. Your photography should too.

We optimize every set of photos for the platforms that matter to you:

• Website banners and background images

• Social media posts, stories, and reels

• Email marketing content

• Google Business Profile photos

• Print collateral and sales decks

• Ad creative for Meta, Google, and YouTube

You won’t need to crop, compress, or reformat anything. We deliver web-ready and high-res versions of every final image.

The Uptrade Edge: Photography and Video Together

Most agencies separate photography and video. We don’t. At Uptrade Media, we offer both under one roof. That means your visual content stays consistent, on brand, and professionally produced across all formats.

Want to shoot a brand film and get photos at the same time? Need headshots and a short social reel? We’ll build a combined package that saves you time and delivers maximum content from a single shoot.

Pricing & Packages

Our commercial photography packages start at $750 and scale based on shoot length, number of locations, editing complexity, and final deliverables.

Typical packages include:

• Half-Day Brand Session: $750

• Full-Day Brand Session: $1,200

• Headshots (up to 10 people): $500

• Product Photography (10 SKUs): $650

Every project includes full usage rights, post-processing, and delivery via shared cloud folder.

Need ongoing content? Ask us about monthly media retainers that include photography, video, and design.

Let’s Make You Look Unstoppable

The difference between a generic brand and a premium one often comes down to visuals. If your current photos don’t match the quality of your work, we can change that.

Uptrade Media delivers commercial photography that’s clean, on brand, and built to get results. No fluff. No filters. Just sharp, confident images that help you grow.
