IN THE STUDIO

If you run a product-based business you understand the importance of having spectacular images that catch your target audience's eye and effectively convince people to consider buying what you have to sell. And a big part of what sells your products is stunning photography of your products. If photos of your products aren't doing your products justice, you are severely limiting your sales possibilities. In this post, we will introduce four key elements needed to make your product photography look even better and help bring you more sales.

1. Flawless Lighting: This is arguably one of the most important components of captivating, gorgeous product photography. If the lighting is off, it can ruin an entire photo. If you don't have the right lighting equipment or understanding of lighting for photography, you will want to seriously consider hiring a professional photographer to do your product photography for you. Not only will they take great pictures, they will come armed with all of the best state-of-the art camera gear and lighting equipment to produce the most flattering images of your products.
2. The Right Background: After nailing down the element of lighting, the next thing you will want to consider is the background upon which your products will be photographed. Obviously, these images are about the products, not what is behind the products so it is important to having a background that complements the images but does not steal the focus of the photos. The other thing to keep in mind is that the background you choose for your photos depends on the type of products you are selling. Have a product-based business? Are you selling food, wine, jewelry, or clothing? If you don't know what to do for a background, talk to a professional photographer. They have the artistic eye and know-how to come up with the best background ideas for your products. You want a background that will enhance your products, not drown them out.
3. Good Judgement in Regard to Styling: In most cases, the saying "less is more" is usually the best approach to take with anything. That includes the styling of your product photography. Just because you have limitless creative opportunities for your photos doesn't mean you should go over-the-top. You don't want to end up with images that distract from the product, the message you are trying to send and story you want to tell, and the overall brand of your business. A simple, clean look can actually be incredibly powerful and eye-catching. If you aren't sure what creative options would most suitably enhance your brand and product photography, work with a professional photographer to achieve the perfect look for your business. They will know how to introduce the right stylistic elements without going overboard and making the photos look busy and messy.
4. Impeccable Editing: Shooting the products is just one part of the equation. After getting the best shots possible, your photos need to be edited to be exactly what is needed in order to capture the attention of your target audience. If you don't have the editing resources for your images, it's a wise idea to consider investing in a professional photographer who has everything needed to edit the photos. Professional photographers also have an incredibly artistic, meticulous eye and will work tirelessly to create the right images that go along with the image of your brand identity.
