OUR STUDIO

Zimmerman Photo is a Chicago-based commercial product photography studio with over two decades of experience creating imagery for brands that demand more than a great photo. Our 3,300 sq. ft. loft studio in Chicago's West Town neighborhood is built for serious production - capable of running multiple sets simultaneously, accommodating custom builds, and handling everything from ecommerce product photography to full-scale commercial and campaign work. We work with brand managers, marketing directors, creative agencies, and in-house teams across the country - from emerging brands building their first visual library to established national names like Whirlpool, Vital Proteins, and Kodiak Cakes. Our services span lifestyle photography, on-white ecommerce, softgoods and apparel, catalog production, and brand-level campaigns - all produced with the same level of care and precision regardless of project size. Every shoot is guided by a straightforward process built around your creative direction, your timeline, and your business goals. If you want to see what that looks like in practice, explore the portfolio - or learn more about the studio and how we work. When you're ready to talk through a project, get in touch.
