Let’s face it—artificial intelligence (AI) has officially taken over the world. Heck, even the first draft of this article was written with AI.
But for brands that are balling on a budget, AI can open up a world of possibilities when it comes to product visualisation. When directed with a strong (human) creative vision, AI can accelerate content creation while drastically reducing production costs

AI makes professional product photography more accessible
High-end product shots typically require extensive studio setups, costly equipment, and long post-production processes. While the results are undeniably stunning, the expense and time investments are a barrier, especially for smaller brands with limited budgets.
But the rise of AI is changing that. With only a small investment of time and money, the right AI tools help professional photographers offer:
Reduced production costs
Using AI tools to generate realistic backgrounds, lighting conditions, and visual enhancements without the need for costly studio shoots.
Faster turnaround
Traditional photography can take weeks, from concept development to final retouching. AI significantly speeds up editing, allowing businesses to receive final images in half the time.
Scalability for eCommerce & Marketing teams
The demand for product image variations is real. AI makes it easy to generate multiple versions quickly and efficiently.
The project that changed our mind about AI
Like most other creative industries, photographers have been side-eyeing AI. Remember those 6-fingered hands?
But once we got over the hype and started using it, it became pretty clear that AI-tools could help us serve our clients even better. So when Bamboovement came to us with their beautiful new nature-inspired packaging design and a limited budget, we saw the opportunity to get creative.
They wanted pack shots of their bamboo razors in 4 different natural environments. Traditionally, this would have meant various sets, props, and a lot of studio time. Instead, we took traditional pack shots and used AI to fulfill the creative brief and blow the clients away.
“The AI images they delivered were perfectly executed and really capture the essence of our brand.” - Joshua van den Hurk, Co-Founder Bamboovement
