If you’re selling products online, you know how important it is to have excellent product photography. Poor-quality photos can make potential customers flee your site, but beautiful, well-lit product shots can help persuade them to buy.
What should I know about this?
Product photography doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive — the proper techniques and equipment can go a long way. Here’s your guide to perfect photography.
- Lighting: Natural light is usually best for product photos, so try shooting near a window if you can. If not, use an artificial light source like a lamp or desk lamp with an adjustable arm that allows you to adjust the angle of the light and get creative with shadows and highlights.
- Background: Product shots should look professional, so choosing an appropriate background for your photos is essential. A plain white wall or sheet will work well in most cases, but you can also opt for subtle textures like woodgrain or fabric backgrounds if you want something more interesting.
- Focus and Composition: Product shots should be sharp, so ensure your camera is set to auto-focus and check the focus in each image before you take it. Pay attention to composition as well; try different angles or move around the object to see what looks best.
