label forward, always
Every can, jar and bottle is turned, wiped and checked before the shutter fires. A crooked label is a reshoot, and the reshoot is on us.
About the studio · Yonkers, NY
for the maker whose product is better than its pictures: a small overhead studio on sterling avenue.
Tanner Quarter was set up for people who spend their hours on recipes, roasts and brines, and would rather not spend them on lighting diagrams. You send the product. We set the table, shoot it from above, retouch it and write the license, so the first thing you do with the files is post them.
come as you are, with a few lines about the product
We'll write back within one business day with availability and a shot plan.
House rules
four habits that ride along with every product we shoot
Hospitality is the whole job. These are the small things we do before you have to ask.
we say what arrived
Samples are logged against your list the day they land, and you get an emailed receipt noting any dents, leaks or missing flavors while there is still time to fix them.
your color, not a near neighbor
A color checker goes in the first frame of every shoot, and retouching is matched to your label artwork so the red on screen is the red on the shelf.
the license is written down
Every library arrives with a plain-language usage letter naming where the images may live, so a retailer or an ad platform never has to ask you for paperwork.
A shoot day on Sterling Ave
what the studio does between the first coffee and the last frame
Shoot days run inside our opening hours, Monday to Thursday, so you can drop by, watch the monitor, or leave us to it.
unbox, wipe, chill
Samples come out of their cartons, get steamed or polished, and anything that needs to be cold goes into the cooler.
color checker and test frame
The set table is lit, the camera is tethered, and the first frame goes up on the calibrated monitor for your approval.
hero angles first
Overhead, forty-five degrees and straight-on, while the product is at its freshest. Pours and condensation come after, with tweezers and a spritz bottle.
flat lays and group shots
Props, linen, boards and a hand model if you booked one. Whole-range frames are built last, once every single is in the can.
the cull and the handoff
We narrow the day's frames to the edit, send the retouching notes for your sign-off, and tell you the delivery date to the day.
prefer to hear a human voice before you book? the line is open
Mon–Thu 8am–7pm and Fri to 1pm. Ten minutes usually settles which package fits.
The room
a quiet table with north light and nothing in the way
The studio is a single room on Sterling Avenue, arranged around one overhead rig. There is a kettle, a chair beside the monitor and a shelf for the samples you've sent, which is how the room is meant to feel to visit.
Come by during opening hours and we'll show you the table your product will sit on.
