Sunglasses product photography & eyewear
Sunglasses and eyewear photography from our Miami studio: front, three-quarter, side and folded views, mirrored and gradient lenses, sunglass chains, glacier and shield sport glasses and ski goggles. Lenses keep their true tint without studio reflections.
Eyewear photography for ecommerce brands
Shootify is a product photography studio in Miami that photographs sunglasses, eyewear and ski goggles for brands across the US. You ship the frames to us, we clean, position and light each pair for its lens, and deliver retouched files in 6–8 business days (rush 3–4). There is no minimum order. Eyewear photos cost $48–$78 each, depending on order size.
Lenses without glare
Sunglasses are reflective and see-through at the same time, so the lens mirrors the studio and shows whatever is behind it. We shape the light so mirrored lenses keep their mirror finish and gradient lenses show their true color, without soft boxes, the camera or stands showing in the glass. Frames are cleaned and dusted before every shot.
The standard angles for sunglasses
Most eyewear brands use four views: front, three-quarter, side (to show the temple and logo) and folded. Every pair in a line is placed in exactly the same position, so the colorways line up on a collection page. The gallery shows full sets for browline, round, aviator, glacier and shield sunglasses.
Sunglass chains and accessories
Chains, cords and retainers are laid out in an even curve around the frame so the length and the charms show. We also photograph cases, cleaning cloths and gift sets, on white or on your brand color.
Ski goggles and sport sunglasses
Goggles have the hardest lenses to light: curved, mirrored and transparent. We shoot every lens color in the same position and add side and strap views, as in our ski goggles project. Ski gloves and socks from the same lines are on our socks and gloves page.

Eyewear & sunglasses photography FAQ
How do you photograph sunglasses without reflections?
We control everything the lens can see. Light is shaped and placed so the lens shows its tint or mirror finish, but not the studio, the camera or the photographer. Small reflections that remain are removed in retouching.
Which angles do I need for eyewear?
Front, three-quarter, side and folded is the standard set. The side view shows the temple and branding, the folded view shows the hinges and how compact the frame is. We keep the same position for every colorway.
Can you photograph sunglasses with chains?
Yes. Chains, cords and retainers are arranged in a clean, even curve so the length, links and charms show, as on the first rows of this page.
How much does sunglasses product photography cost?
Eyewear is $78 a photo for small orders, down to $48 a photo for large ones. Reflective items have a $160 setup fee on orders under 11 products. Premium retouching adds $5 a photo. See the full product photography price list.
Do you photograph ski goggles?
Yes. We have a dedicated set for reflective, see-through products like ski goggles and shoot every lens color in the same position. See our reflective product photography project.
