Photography That Makes People Stop Scrolling

Whether it’s a homepage hero, a product flat lay, or a behind-the-scenes moment for socials, good photography sets the tone and conveys your message before you say a single word.

You could try snapping a few pics yourself under the office’s one decent fluorescent bulb. But let’s be honest, low-quality photography is one of the clearest signs that a brand isn’t investing in its image. And if you don’t invest in your own brand, why should anyone else?

You don’t need hundreds of photos you’ll never use. You need a tight set of engaging, high-quality images that tell your story and give your content a serious edge. That’s what we do.

Why NZ Businesses Invest in Professional Photography

Great photos build trust. Instantly.

Before anyone reads your copy, watches your video, or clicks your call-to-action, they’ve already made a gut decision, and more often than not, it’s based on how things look. That’s the power of strong brand photography - it earns its trust before a word is read.

Whether you’re a café with an unreal flat white, a SaaS brand selling subscriptions, or a homewares business with products worth showing off, great photography makes potential clients and customers take you seriously.

And it’s not just about aesthetics. Clean, consistent photography helps unify your brand across every channel from your About page to your Instagram grid. It also gives you content you can repurpose across months of marketing. One shoot. Endless mileage.

If your current visual assets are a mix of old iPhone snaps, stock photos, and “we’ll replace this later” placeholders, don’t stress. You’re not alone. But it might be time to upgrade.

Our Photography
SERVICES

We offer photography that’s built for business, whether that’s product shots, team headshots, or multi-purpose brand imagery you can use across your site, socials, and print. The standout? We shoot, edit, and deliver it all in-house, so everything stays on brand and on brief.

Product Photography

Clean, clear and conversion-focused. Whether you need white-background ecommerce shots for a product launch, styled flat lays, or lifestyle images that showcase your product in use, we’ve got you. From candles to coffee machines to software boxes, we shoot with your audience in mind.

Campaign Imagery

Launching a new product? Running a seasonal promo? Creating a paid media push that needs fresh visuals? We’ll design and shoot bespoke campaign imagery with a clear creative concept and usage plan so your visuals land exactly where they should, and tell a story that aligns with the bigger picture.

Social media content shoots

We don’t just shoot content that looks good, we shoot content that fits your platform. Whether it’s for Instagram Ads, Reels, or LinkedIn carousels, we create imagery that matches the format, vibe and strategy behind your content plan. On-trend, on-brand and ready to post.

Why Work with Sprocket for Photography?

We don’t outsource. We don’t overcomplicate. And we don’t hand you a Dropbox folder full of average content. We plan, shoot and produce everything in-house so you get consistent, usable, high-quality assets that make your brand look the part, wherever it shows up.

Here’s what makes us a smart choice:

An Expert, In-House Team

Our photographers, editors and creative team all work under one roof. That means faster turnaround times, tighter creative alignment and no awkward back-and-forths with mystery freelancers.

All Post-Production Done In-House

We don’t hand your photos off to a third-party editor. Every image is edited, colour-corrected and delivered by our team, so what you get is polished, cohesive and on-brand.

Flexible Shooting Schedule

Need regular content? We can work with your team to create a schedule. Just need a one-off shoot added to your standard Sprocket services? We do that too. Flexible, straightforward and built around what you actually need.

We Work With What You’ve Got

At your office? In-store? On location? We adapt to your setup, your space and your schedule. No fuss, no long prep lists. Just tell us what you need, and we’ll bring the cameras.

Photography That Integrates with Your Strategy

Because we also handle social, Ads and design, we know how your content will be used. That means smarter framing, better compositions, and no surprises when it’s time to drop it into a Facebook Ad or homepage banner.

We Help Shape the Vision Too

From mood boards to shot lists, we support you through the ideation phase. Whether you’ve got a clear vision or need help refining it, we’ll collaborate on creative direction that suits your brand and your goals. A picture’s worth a thousand words; we’ll help yours say all the right ones.

Photography FAQs

If you have a question we haven't answered, just get in touch. We'll be happy to help you out.

Both. We’re fully equipped for on-site shoots, whether that’s your office, store, home or a location that fits your brand. Sprocket also has space when needed for more controlled setups like product photography or styled brand shoots.

Turnaround times vary depending on the shoot type and volume, but most photography projects are delivered within 7–14 business days. If you need a rush job, let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

We’re based in Auckland, which means we shoot most of our content locally. However, that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck if you’re outside the city! For product photography, we regularly collaborate with out-of-town brands who simply ship their items to us. We handle the shoot from here and deliver polished, ready-to-use images straight back to you.

Need us on-site in another region? Just reach out. If the project’s a good fit, we’re more than happy to travel.

Yes, we do. We offer professional videography services for everything from social media clips and campaign reels to brand videos and testimonials. If you’re after something more dynamic beyond stills, check out our videography services here.

From mood boards and shot lists to creative direction and styling suggestions, we’ll collaborate with you upfront so you don’t need to be on-site. You’ll know exactly what’s being captured and why, without having to hover behind the lens.
