London, the largest city in the United Kingdom, is also the third-most populous metropolitan area in Europe, as well as Europe’s largest urban economy. Whether it’s bone china, a bespoke suit, or Paddington Bear, the Home of Big Ben is home to some of the most timeless products of the world.
At Wonderful Machine, we define still life or product photography as encompassing “any inanimate object not covered by our other specialties, often products.”
Unlike portraiture which says something of the character of the subject, product photography says something about the character of an object. Products are often for sale, but product photography itself should not be too salesy. Like corporate photography, product photography should rather help build trust, bringing people to the products and products to the people.
London product photographers truly understand the importance of aesthetic and tone to let products speak for themselves in images that resonate with viewers, readers, and consumers the world over. Whether you need packshots, flat lays, or everything in between, these skilled product photographers will enhance your business faster than you can say Westminster.
We’ve done the research. Here’s a list of Wonderful Machine’s selections for the seven best product photographers in London.

Aleksandra Kingo is a London product photographer and director who is well known for her playful, quirky style, and bold use of colors and wit. She walks the razor’s edge between discomfort and sexiness, toying with the viewer’s senses of disgust and attraction and creating surreal worlds where lipstick stains are a blessing and champagne baths are perfectly casual. Aleksandra gains a lot of inspiration from everyday life stories, as well as popular culture and memes.

From a contact sport of bursting action and movement to the patience and calm of a still life photographer, Benoît still takes life to the extreme.
