BEFORE AND AFTER
Test images made with our process
Manual coffee grinder and pour-over dripper set
Test image made with our process: a white-background photo of a manual grinder and glass pour-over dripper became a morning kitchen counter scene, with the two items, a cup and coffee beans as props. Every image is checked against the original and redone if a detail differs.
Why home products need more than a white background
A white-background photo is the right first image for a marketplace listing. It shows the shape, the color and the details clearly. But a shopper who is choosing a grinder, a vase or a side table also wants to see it somewhere. They want to know how big it looks next to a kettle, whether the finish suits a warm kitchen, how it sits on a shelf.
That is the job of lifestyle product photography. Home and kitchen categories lean on it more than most, because the product is bought for a room, not for a catalog grid. A product page with only packshots leaves that question open. A page with two or three room scenes answers it.
Making those scenes the usual way means a stylist, props, a set and a booked shoot for every group of products. For a catalog of hundreds of SKUs that gets slow and expensive. We work from the photos you already have instead.
How it works for home and kitchen catalogs
Catalog Ready is a service, not software. You send product photos that are already clear: a front view on white is fine. We return new images of the same product, including studio shots, lifestyle scenes and styled compositions. No samples are shipped and no photoshoot is organised.
Every image is compared with the original product. If the shape, color, print, markings or small details changed, the image is redone. You approve the final selection, and only approved images count.
- Kitchenware: cookware, knives, mugs, storage, small appliances
- Coffee and tea gear: grinders, drippers, kettles, teapots, cups
- Home decor: vases, frames, trays, wall pieces, textiles
- Small furniture: stools, side tables, shelves, chairs
- Candles, bottles and jars shown on shelves, tables and trays
Example: a coffee grinder and pour-over dripper
The original is a white-background photo of a manual coffee grinder and a glass pour-over dripper. The new image places the same two items on a morning kitchen counter, with a cup and coffee beans nearby. The beans are a prop to set the scene. We do not make images of prepared food or dishes.
This is a test image made with our process, using a public-domain photo as the starting point. It is the kind of result you can expect for coffee and tea gear, and the same approach applies to other kitchen and home items.
The check that matters is on the product itself. The grinder and dripper in the scene have to match the originals in shape, color and detail. If they do not, the image is redone before you see the selection.
Where the images get used
Product pages. A room scene next to the white-background image helps shoppers judge scale and style. Marketplaces. Your main image can stay a clean studio shot while the extra slots carry lifestyle images. Social ads. A kitchen counter or a shelf scene reads better in a feed than a packshot on white.
Files are delivered in the sizes your store and marketplaces need, named by SKU, so they can be uploaded without renaming.
Pricing is simple. It starts from $10 per SKU, with 4 images per SKU. Catalogs start from 100 SKU, so orders start at $1,000. Before the full order we make a test set on a few of your products, so you can judge the scenes on your own items. The number of products, image types and price are agreed in writing, and there is no subscription. For comparison, studios commonly charge around $35 to $75 per packshot and more for on-model work.
What to send
Send one clear photo per product, ideally on a white or plain background, with the whole item visible and sharp. If a product has several finishes or colors, send each as its own SKU so every variant is checked against its own original.
Tell us the scenes you have in mind, for example a kitchen counter, a living room shelf or a dining table, and the stores or marketplaces the images are for. We agree the plan in writing before the full order. To start, use the form at https://getcatalogready.com/#start or write to hello@getcatalogready.com.

QUESTIONS
Can you turn a white-background photo into a lifestyle scene?
Yes. You send the white-background photo and we return new images of the same product in a kitchen, living room or shelf setting. Each image is compared with the original, and any image where the product changed is redone.
Which home and kitchen products do you work with?
Any physical product with a clear photo, including kitchenware, coffee and tea gear, home decor, small furniture, candles and bottles. Send the photo you have and we tell you what scenes suit it in the test set.
Do you make food photos?
No. We do not depict food dishes. Coffee beans or similar items can appear as props around a product, such as a grinder on a kitchen counter.
Do I need to ship samples or book a shoot?
No. We work from the product photos you already have. No samples are shipped and no photoshoot is organised.
