your stuff is good, but...

Pics or it didn't happen.

We live in a visual world. No matter where you look, you are being inundated with graphics, photos and videos. With so much visual information out there, high-quality photography of your products and team are critical to your success.

Emma Thurgood is a product & branding photographer... and she's fun AF.

And it needs to Stand out.

Your photo library needs to be expansive, diverse, and engaging in order to fulfill all the needs of your website, social media, email marketing and more. Furthermore, the photos need to strike a chord with the right audience, so that they will feel excited by what you have to offer and believe that it's exactly what they need. 

I'm an experienced product and branding photographer, with over 10 years of experience photographing in all kinds of situations. My favorite branding photos are lifestyle photos of products and people in their natural spaces - it helps the viewer really believe the messaging. I am also skilled in studio headshots, interiors and architecture, and soft-box product photography.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you serve?

I am based in Connecticut and travel all over New England and New York state. I am open to travel outside of New England for branding photo sessions with your team in your space. Most product photography projects are done in my studio here in Connecticut, enabling me to serve clients from all over the United States. 

How many images are included?

Unlike most brand photographers, I do not charge a session fee plus extra per image. I like to keep my life and yours more simple, and I deliver a gallery that is full of variety. The number of images varies by project, but in general I deliver lifestyle portrait galleries with a minimum of 25 images and product galleries with 3-5 images per product. 

How much will my project cost?

It's difficult to say without knowing the details of your project. Lifestyle portrait sessions are priced based on the location, the number of people involved, and the number of set-ups desired. Similarly, product photography is priced based on the number of products to be photographed and what kinds of set-ups, props, or models are needed. 

Who owns the copyright?

You do. All projects transfer copyright ownership to the client after all the terms of the contract have been met. As part of the contract terms, I retain usage rights for portfolio purposes, though you can purchase exclusivity (meaning I can't put them on my portfolio) for an additional fee. 

I'm your unicorn.

If you need to elevate your business' online presence and print materials.... 

I have what I like to think of as a holistic approach to art & design. Creative professionals shape the world around us and how we perceive it, and as such we carry a weighty responsibility. My design philosophy encompasses not just the way something looks and feels, but the environment and time in which it is presented to the world.
