What deliverables are typically expected from a commercial shoot intended for e-commerce catalogs?

• A. Low-resolution JPEGs
• B. High-res JPEGs/TIFFs with embedded color profiles, on-background and lifestyle images, proof galleries, model/property releases, and a deliverables specification sheet
• C. RAW files only
• D. Printed catalogs mailed to client

Answer: (B)

Deliverables for an e‑commerce catalog shoot are a complete, publication-ready package of digital assets plus the legal and project-management items that keep everything aligned. The best answer includes high-resolution JPEGs or TIFFs with embedded color profiles, both on-background product shots and lifestyle images, along with proof galleries, model/property releases, and a deliverables specification sheet. Each piece matters: high-resolution files ensure sharp detail for online displays and potential print use; embedded color profiles maintain color accuracy across devices and printers; on-background images provide clean, consistent product presentation while lifestyle shots show context and usage. Proof galleries speed approvals by giving the client a structured review set, and releases license the use of models and property in marketing. The deliverables specification sheet sets expectations for formats, sizes, color space, retouching, and delivery method, preventing miscommunication later. Low-resolution files won’t meet catalog standards, RAW files are typically not final assets, and printing a physical catalog is not the daily deliverable for an online-focused workflow.
