Our high-quality commercial photography helps you stands out

Our Tacoma photographer has taken thousands more pictures than even the most snap-happy of us. In the process, he has developed an instinct for the authentic. And what does authenticity do? It sets you apart from the competition.

Photography Services

At Hemisphere, we believe every brand has a story to tell — and the right photograph can tell it instantly. As a small, full-service commercial photography studio located in the heart of Tacoma, Washington, we specialize in crafting high-impact imagery that connects, converts, and elevates brands. Whether you need dynamic product shots, lifestyle imagery, corporate portraits, or full-scale advertising campaigns, we deliver professional photography with purpose.

Commercial Photography with Purpose

We’re not just here to take pictures — we’re here to help you achieve visual clarity. From creative concept to final delivery, we guide clients through every step of the production process. Our services include planning, art direction, location scouting, styling, lighting, post-production editing, and file delivery in print and web-ready formats.

Whether you're a startup launching your first product line or a well-established company refreshing your visual identity, we tailor our services to meet your specific needs. We believe in partnership, not transactions — and we’re committed to producing photography that advances your brand.

Product Photography

Your product deserves to be seen in the best light — literally. We provide clean, consistent, and polished product photography for e-commerce, catalogs, Amazon listings, advertising, and packaging. Whether shot on a seamless white background or in a stylized setting, every image is carefully lit, composed, and edited to achieve maximum clarity and appeal.

We handle everything from simple still-life photography to more complex sets involving props, surfaces, models, and multi-angle compositions. The result? Images that help your products stand out and sell more.

Lifestyle & Brand Photography

We create lifestyle imagery that captures the essence of your brand. Whether it’s a cozy coffee shop scene, an outdoor apparel shoot, or an on-location session with your team in action, we blend authenticity with artistry. These are the images that show not just what you offer, but who you are — and why your audience should care.

We collaborate closely with you on moodboards, location planning, and casting (if necessary) to ensure each shoot aligns with your voice, values, and visual identity.

Corporate Headshots & Team Portraits

Professional doesn’t have to mean stiff or boring. We offer corporate headshots and environmental portraits that capture your personality and professionalism. From clean studio backgrounds to natural office settings, we create headshots that are modern, approachable, and brand-consistent.

We also offer on-site team photography, perfect for company websites, press kits, and marketing materials. Quick, seamless sessions mean minimal disruption to your workflow — and maximum visual impact.

Architecture & Interior Photography

We provide high-resolution, carefully composed interior and exterior photography for real estate, architecture firms, interior designers, builders, and hospitality businesses. Using natural light, supplemental lighting, and post-processing techniques, we capture spaces with precision and artistry.

Whether it’s a boutique hotel, a luxury residence, or a newly designed workspace, we highlight your project’s design features, atmosphere, and story.

Food & Beverage Photography

We specialize in food photography that makes viewers hungry. From styled studio shoots to on-location restaurant sessions, we photograph food and beverages with an emphasis on texture, freshness, and color. We work with chefs, restaurants, food brands, and publications to create imagery that’s mouthwatering, editorial-quality, and tailored to your audience.

Styling assistance, prop sourcing, and custom set design are also available, whether you’re building a menu, a cookbook, or a promotional campaign.

Editorial & Advertising Photography

For brands and agencies looking for high-end imagery for print, billboards, social media campaigns, and more, we deliver visually striking photography tailored to your concept. Our team can collaborate with your creative director or take the lead from idea to execution. With years of experience handling both small and large-scale productions, we ensure that your project is handled with creativity, precision, and efficiency.

Post-Production & Retouching

Our work doesn’t stop once the shutter clicks. Every image we deliver is edited with attention to detail — from basic color correction and cropping to advanced retouching. We offer background removal, compositing, skin retouching, and brand-consistent toning as part of our in-house post-production services. Our goal is to ensure each image looks polished and professional, without ever feeling overdone.

Why choose Hemisphere?

As a small studio, we offer the kind of personalized attention and collaboration you won’t find at larger agencies. When you work with us, you’re working directly with the individuals who create your images. We bring Tacoma’s creative spirit, a deep respect for visual craft, and a drive for excellence to every project, regardless of its size.

From local businesses and regional campaigns to national brands and nonprofits, we’ve built lasting relationships with clients who return to us for one simple reason: we make them look great.

Let’s create images that tell your story, sell your product, and set your brand apart.

Client stories

Cutters Point Coffee

+

Does your company exist to help customers live a certain way or see themselves in a different light? If so, your product isn’t the story. The life your product inspires is the story.

Cutters Point is about satisfying the Northwestern thirst for great coffee and big adventures. Our photographer and creative team collaborated closely with Cutters Point to craft a vision for this photo shoot, secured the models, then spent a day on location capturing the adventurous spirit of a true Northwest brand.

Tilted Tree Cider

+

Need quality product photos for a sales sheet or online store? You could invest thousands of dollars in camera gear and countless hours teaching yourself to take clean, well-lit photos that make your product the star, or you could let us do it quicker and better.

We can come up with a creative solution for shooting your product photos like we did for Tilted Tree (their off-kilter brand begged for something a little different). For greater flexibility and a clean look, we can also shoot against a seamless background.

Commencement Bank

+

Do you work fast? Does your space attract customers? Is your team part of your selling point? Our photographer can capture these and other aspects of your brand experience.

Commencement Bank takes community seriously. Their flexible loans help local businesses grow and their charitable support helps local non-profits thrive. They asked us to capture their community-banking story. The result? Brand photography that feels both professional and personal, just like Commencement Bank.

Working with us

What should I expect when I meet your team?

Our first meeting is where we lay the groundwork for photographic success. It’s your chance to meet our photographer (and the Hemisphere creative team). And it’s our chance to get to know you: your brand, your goals, your needs. After words, we’ll put together a proposal for you. If we’re a fit, great. If not, no problem.

What kinds of clients do you work with?

We work with businesses and organizations throughout Washington, and we’re not opposed to traveling for the right opportunity. Many, if not most, of our photography clients take advantage of our other core services (graphic design, web design, branding, and marketing) because we’re a full-service creative firm.

Why a Tacoma commercial photographer?

What can we say? We love our gritty city. It’s a pleasure to shed light on its businesses and nonprofits — and we think you’ll feel the Tacoma love in our photography. If your business reaches beyond our local audience, good news, professionalism and creativity travel well. We look forward to helping you visualize your unique vision.
