No fancy camera needed. These 10 tips will make your products look professional.
Great product photography is one of the most powerful ways to increase sales. And you don't need an expensive camera — your smartphone is enough.
1. Use natural light
Shoot near a window during the day. Avoid harsh overhead lights or direct sunlight, which create harsh shadows.
2. Keep the background simple
A clean white or neutral background helps your product stand out. Use a poster board or a roll of craft paper.
3. Use the grid
Turn on the gridlines in your camera app. Place your product slightly off-center for a more dynamic composition.
4. Shoot multiple angles
Show the front, back, sides, and any details. Customers want to see exactly what they're buying.
5. Edit lightly
Brightness, contrast, and sharpness are your friends. Avoid heavy filters that change the product's true colours.
