Paul Zimmerman | Chicago Product Photographer

High-quality product photography isn’t just about great images—it’s about creating visuals that sell. I’m Paul Zimmerman, a Chicago-based product photographer with over 20 years of experience helping brands showcase their products with precision and impact. Whether it’s for e-commerce, advertising, or packaging, I specialize in crafting clean, compelling images that drive sales and strengthen brand identity.

After earning my BFA in Advertising Photography from RIT in 2001, I moved to Chicago to pursue my dream of being an architectural photographer. Soon after arriving in Chicago, I transitioned into product photography, refining my skills in studio lighting, composition, and visual storytelling. Since then, I’ve worked with businesses of all sizes both locally and nationally —from startups launching their first product to established brands needing consistent, high-quality imagery.

From my fully equipped 3000 sq/ft studio in Chicago’s West Town, I offer in-studio product photography services as well as on-location product photography. So whether it’s a single hero shot or an entire catalog, my focus is the same: create stunning, scroll-stopping images that elevate your brand and drive results.
