Report: Amazon gets the fashion picture in U.K.

Seattle – Amazon.com is always trying to improve its overseas operations, and now the e-commerce titan is “getting the picture” in the U.K. market. According to TechCrunch, Amazon has opened a 46,000-sq.-ft. photography studio in London.



Amazon will use the studio to take more than 500,000 digital images of fashion items it will sell on its U.K. site. Images will include products sold both by Amazon itself and through partners on its third-party marketplace. Amazon added more than 100 fashion brands to its assortment in 2014 and says it sold more than 30 million fashion items in Europe between April and June 2015.



The studio is expected to create about 30 full-time jobs and employ up to 75 people during peak periods.
