Hat product photography caps, beanies & straw hats
Hat photography from our Miami studio: rope caps and baseball caps from every side, rib-knit beanies, palm straw lifeguard hats and visors, plus styled still life for social. Every hat is shaped so it looks the way it does when it is worn.
Hat photography for ecommerce brands
Shootify is a product photography studio in Miami that photographs hats for fashion labels, streetwear and ecommerce brands across the US. You ship the hats to us, we shape and style each one, photograph it from the angles your product page needs and deliver retouched files in 6–8 business days (rush 3–4). There is no minimum order. Hat photos cost $36–$56 each, depending on order size.
Shaping a hat so it looks worn
A hat straight out of the box is flat, creased or dented. Caps are filled so the crown is round and the front panels stand up, and brims are set to the same curve on every hat in the line. Beanies are shaped so the knit and the cuff read clearly, and straw hats are set level so the brim does not droop. Stray threads, dust and lint are removed before we shoot, which keeps retouching light.
The angles that sell a hat
Most brands use four views per hat: front three-quarter, side, back and underside or detail. The back shows the strap, snap or buckle. The underside shows the sweatband and inside print. A close-up shows the embroidery, patch or weave. The gallery above shows full sets for rope caps, baseball caps and beanies, all in the same position so the colorways line up on a collection page.
Caps, beanies, straw hats and visors
We photograph baseball and dad caps, rope caps, trucker and snapback caps, five-panel caps, rib-knit and slouch beanies, palm straw and lifeguard hats, sun visors and fedoras. Hats come on white for Amazon and marketplaces or on a background color that matches your site, and we can add styled still life with sneakers, bags and props for Instagram and banners.
Hats with the rest of your collection
If you also sell sunglasses, bags or socks and gloves, we shoot them in the same session with the same light, so the whole collection matches. See all categories in our accessories product photography portfolio, or read about our hat product photography service.
Hats photography FAQ
How do you photograph hats for ecommerce?
Each hat is filled and shaped, the brim is set to the same curve on every hat, and lint and threads are removed. We photograph it on white or on your brand color with soft light that shows the fabric, embroidery and stitching, then retouch and deliver files sized for your store.
Which angles do I need for a hat product page?
A front three-quarter view, a side view, the back with the strap or closure, and a detail or underside shot. That set answers the questions customers ask about fit, closure and finish. We keep the position identical for every colorway.
Can you shoot hats on white for Amazon?
Yes. Main images go on a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255) with the hat filling about 85% of the frame, at a size that supports Amazon zoom. Secondary images can be close-ups, styled shots or the hat on a model.
How much does hat product photography cost?
Hats are priced as small accessories: $56 a photo for small orders, down to $36 a photo for large ones, with no minimum order. Premium retouching adds $5 a photo. See the full product photography price list.
Do I need to be in Miami?
No. Most clients ship their hats to our Miami studio from anywhere in the US. Final files are delivered by Google Drive or Dropbox link.
