Online, your photos ARE the product - and you can shoot conversion-lifting images with a phone, a window, and a consistent setup. Weak photography is the most common self-inflicted wound in e-commerce.
The Five Rules That Matter
- Natural, diffused light: near a window, never direct flash.
- Clean, consistent background: white or neutral - a chart paper sweep works.
- Multiple angles: front, back, detail close-up, and in-use context.
- Show scale: in-hand or beside a familiar object.
- Consistency across the catalog: same style everywhere reads professional.
Category Extras
Clothing: on a person or form, never just flat. Jewellery: macro detail + worn shots. Food: natural light is everything. Electronics: ports, sizes, what's in the box.
Prep for the Web
Shoot large, crop square-ish for grids, compress to WebP, and keep file sizes lean - beautiful photos that load slowly still lose the sale.
