Let’s start the year off right!
As a small business owner myself, I try to be in so many places at once but it is physically impossible.
One task your product photos should be doing for you is carrying the heavy load when it comes to your online presence. They should be able to sell your products or translate your message without you saying a word. Consistency throughout all of your photos is one thing some business owners overlook.
If you’re uncertain about whether your current photos are doing this, you should consider updating them.
Any questions you may have, find them in our Frequently Asked Questions section at the bottom of the page. If it’s not there, shoot us a message!
Photography Styles
As every product and brand is different, the style and the treatment of each product should be different too. Use this guide below to help you determine which style speaks to you the most.
E-commerce Style
This style is best used for products that are going to be placed in an online store. Simple, evenly lit photos on a 100% white background is usually the safest bet for giving your products a clean and consistent look across any platform.
Coloured Background
This style works best when you want to give your photos a little zazz but still keep the focus on the product. Your brand colours and personality will determine the colour(s) used for the background. You could even throw in a few background props if you’re feeling frisky.
StylizeD
Your products will be placed in a slightly stylized environment that will enhance its essence. The props usually are ingredients found in your product or just some playfulness with lighting or composition.
Composite
(Simple)
Composites usually require a bit of photo manipulation, that gives the appearance of movement or compositions that are almost impossible to see with your own eyes. These add a bit of uniqueness to your brand and gives the overall appearance of a good time.
Composite
(AdvanceD)
Advanced compositing usually requires a lot of photo manipulation and possibly multiple photo sessions to gather all the elements needed for that 1 final image.
As tedious as its could be, the end result is usually worth all the work and will guarantee a memorable experience for your customers.

That is totally up to you. The contents of the products most likely will be used during the process so you will let me know if you’d prefer to have them collected or disposed of.
