You do not have to attend the shoot, but you are more than welcome to do so! We have a beautiful green room that is fitted out with a coffee machine, TV and WIFI. So, you can either kick back or get to work! It’s a great opportunity to be on hand to direct the shoot, or if you can’t make it we can send you a remote link to view instantaneously.

What our clients say about us

We have been using Flat Frog for a couple of years now for all our e-commerce pack shots. The work is always top quality and consistent. Communication with James and Luke is easy

Phil Buckley – Tonic

James and his team at Flat Frog Films are fantastic and a delight to work with. I appointed Flat Frog to support me with creating imagery for a new website we were building. Being relatively new to the photography briefing process, James held my hand throughout and ensured my brief delivered and exceeded my business requirements.

Kevin sears – In the book

James and his team are consistently producing great shots for my website Paul James Jewellers. On top of that he has pro- duced two videos which I have had so much positive feedback on. and I will continue tell people in my trade to use James if they want a truly professional service with someone that understands Jewellery photography.
