Why macro
Quality is decided at trichome level.
Buyers, pharmacists and members judge flower by what they can see. A macro image shows exactly that: the state of the trichomes, the resin coverage, the structure of the bud. Macro shots let you stand out from the competition and let your product speak for itself.
- 01
Trichome maturity
Clear, milky or amber heads — ripeness becomes visible instead of being claimed.
- 02
Resin & density
Resin coverage, intact trichome heads and bud density show how carefully a batch was grown, dried and handled.
- 03
Structure & trim
Calyx structure, pistils and trim quality — the details that separate a premium batch from an average one.

Shoot

Selection & editing
You get a pre-selection, choose your favourites, and I edit them: colour, retouching, crop.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How are samples handled — and is that legal?
That depends on your product and your legal framework. For medical cannabis the shoot usually takes place on site at your licensed facility, so the product never leaves the controlled chain. Where shipping samples is permitted, we agree on documented handover, packaging and return or destruction in advance. We clarify the right option before the shoot.
Do you shoot on site or in your own setup?
Both are possible. I bring a mobile macro setup to your facility — for example to the drying, packaging or dispensing area. Where it is legally permitted, samples can also be photographed in my own setup.
Which usage rights do I get?
The scope of the usage rights is defined in the quote — for example for your website, B2B catalogue and documents for pharmacies or distributors. The use itself must comply with the advertising rules that apply to you.
How long does it take?
It depends on the number of strains and image types. The delivery date is fixed in the quote; you receive a pre-selection before final editing.
Which formats do you deliver?
High-resolution stills for print plus web-optimised versions, and video loops as MP4 in the aspect ratios you need (e.g. 16:9, 1:1, 9:16). Other formats on request.
