Motofish is a seasoned creative partner in the e-commerce space - with over a decade of experience. Our team, led by co-owners Chris Cumming and Greg Sweney, can handle all aspects of e-commerce photography from ingest and inventory of product to delivery of final files including complex retouching and colorways. With one eye on creative and the other on budget and execution we make sure our clients are receiving superior results at a competitive price.
4,810 square feet of studio space is very unique in Seattle. With a wide open floor plan and work space in the loft we can shoot everything from high paced product shoots, to lifestyle or anything else you can dream up. There is plenty of room to run multiple sets and having total control over our space gives us flexibility and consistency season after season.
The Nuts and bolts: Natural light floor to ceiling roll up garage door, full edit suite, lockers and bike hangers, 2 enclosed client offices, shower, kitchen, ample parking and more than one office dog.
Unlike many e-commerce studios Motofish is owned and operated by creatives. Motofish creates a boutique experience for our e-commerce clients - there is no plug and play here, We approach an e-commerce shoot with the same attention to detail and execution as any other shoot.

Client: Brooks Running
I trust Motofish season after season because they offer a unique combination of efficient scalability, collaborative partnership, and premium results. They’ve been able to quickly adapt and navigate complex and evolving workflows as our product lines expand and change in real time. Motofish can read between the lines and need no hand-holding, even with the most complicated post-production work. And at the end of the day, I can rely on Motofish to deliver best-in-class imagery on time, every time, which makes my job much easier.” - Dylan Kahler, Senior Creative Project Manager, Brooks Running
We have photographed Brooks Running footwear for many, many seasons. Consistency is key - new styles must match perfectly with older ones. We have created custom processes for Brooks that allow us to efficiently capture hundreds of SKU’s at a time or adapt to smaller SKU counts when those late breaking asks come in.
Motofish has a wealth of experience in shooting apparel on-figure and as a laydown. Our workflow enables efficient use of talent for overall shots, product details and shots where even though we’re in the studio there is a sense of motion in the product (hint: we used a treadmill).
In addition to traditional on-white e-commerce work at Motofish sometimes we can get our hands a little dirty with more complex setups. Sometimes grouping products together helps tell a better story and the images play well on social and in print.
In addition to production and photography Motofish has in-house retouching. We can manage large scale workflows and tight deadlines with ease. We also have a stable of trusted retouching partners that are available when we need to scale.
From colorways, to exceptions to compositing our retouching services can deliver accurate results when the samples may not be quite at productions specs.
