About Us

360Refinery started out as a small photo studio in Shanghai in 2009. Today we have a multiple teams of photographers, stylists, retouchers, graphic designers and account managers that can facilitate the product photography of 1000s of SKUs per day across China. We know lighting, we know online marketing, and we keep on top of technological developments in image production. This is the perfect mix for creating photos that sell products.

We are on a mission to make ecommerce assets creation consistent and hassle-free at scale. We also aim to elevate the experience of managing photoshoots to the standards and user-friendliness of ecommerce.

Whether your manufacturer is in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Yiwu, Ningbo, or elsewhere, we have professional product photographers in China and extensive studio sets such as bedroom sets, bathroom sets, living room sets, and more ready to complete your project.

Over the years we have had the pleasure of working with SMEs, large companies, start-ups that grew into multinational companies, and many marketplace sellers . We have seen time and again that companies who consistently invest in quality photography and standardize product launch work-flows grow much faster, because they understand that the cost of photos is not the price you pay for the service, it is the impact these photos have on the conversion rate of your marketing campaigns and the time the production helps your teams save so they can focus on other tasks.

Visual presentation can make the difference between making a sale and losing a customer. A large part of selling is capturing the attention of your potential buyer, but the key part is keeping that attention and building trust. Especially when selling online, you only have a very limited amount of time to achieve that, many customers make decisions based on the imagery and other branding symbols within a few seconds, and those few seconds are crucial for you marketing campaigns' ROI.

360Refinery has served over 300 clients and executed over 35,000 photo shoots.

360Refinery brings you a reliable photography management system that allows you to get consistent quality product photos and videos with quick turnaround at reasonable and transparent prices.

- access to larger pool of talents. As a production management company, we at 360 Refinery work with lots of great talent (majority of whom don't speak any English but are excellent professionals in their field), and we also know the strengths and weaknesses of each photographer, which helps us decide who is best for each specific project. It is extremely rare that one photographer is good at shooting all sort of products. It would take you ages to gather the information we already have.


- feel confident about getting the results you need. Photo and video production, like anything else requires expertise to get great results. Unless you are very experienced, you may not be able to brief the photographer in a way that is needed to produce the images you want. With us, once you give us the requirements, we will break things down and make sure the photographer or videographer understands what to do step by step, and also that no corners are cut on things like post-production.


- save time on management. We spend a lot of time fine-tuning our booking and briefing processes, so that once a client books a project with us, the client has very little to worry about until the final delivery of the photos. There are many layers of management to producing great photos and videos. Most clients don't need to spend time learning about production management. You could spend the time managing your business and increasing your profits.

- streamlined operations. For large volume clients we develop strict production processes, so after the initial on-boarding all you have to do is send samples over and our teams will know exactly what to do without any additional instruction to product consistent result across different batches of samples.
