As the owner/photographer at CMP Studio it is my role to deliver outstanding photography and product videos to clients offering creative solutions to fit their needs within their budget while delivering work on time or ahead of schedule. CMP offers photography of products, people, and food. With a background in high volume studio product photography, large volume e-commerce jobs are welcome and executed with creativity and ease. Communication, whether visual or verbal is key in the exploration of ideas and concepts involved in a shoot. It is my goal to visually satisfy your end needs. CMP offers in-house production coordinators and retouching (photoshop) services as well as live video feed. Watch and discuss the details of your product while it is on set. We use Capture One, Photoshop, Nikon Equipment, Broncolor lighting and Mac OS. CMP looks forward to building long term clients and expanding my clients portfolio. Best, Chris

Hi there! I’m Mollie Ma, a food and product photographer with a strong background in high-end retouching and visual storytelling. I specialize in creating clean, intentional, and on-brand imagery that helps products stand out—whether that’s for e-commerce, Amazon listings, packaging, or social media. I’ve worked with brands such as Levi’s, Restoration Hardware, and Fitbit in post-production, which means every image I deliver is crafted with a sharp eye for detail, consistency, and quality. That experience directly informs my photography today—from lighting and composition to final polish—so you get images that are not only beautiful, but also ready to perform across marketing and sales channels. My photography work focuses on food, product, and lifestyle imagery. I offer full-service shoots, including styled studio images and lifestyle setups that highlight texture, color, and the story behind your brand. Whether you need bright, clean product shots or warm, inviting food imagery, my goal is always the same: to create visuals that feel elevated, natural, and true to your brand. I also offer light video and content creation to complement still imagery when needed, and I pride myself on a smooth, organized process with clear communication and reliable turnaround times. One quick note: my hourly rate on Upwork reflects retouching services only. All photography projects are quoted at a flat rate based on the scope of the shoot. I’d love for you to take a look at my portfolio on my website (Mollie Ma Photography) or on Instagram @molliemaphoto, and I’d be happy to chat about how we can bring your products to life. Looking forward to connecting!
