Cleanliness and preparation

[sumaiyakhatun27]

Before you start photographing the product, make sure it's clean and free of fingerprints, dust, or other contaminants. If necessary, use a microfiber cloth to polish surfaces. The background and props should also be clean and well-placed.

3. Backgrounds and props

A neutral background doesn't distract from the product and lets it take center stage. instagram database A simple white or black background is often the best choice. If you want to add creative flair, you can play with different textures or colors, but make sure the background doesn't overpower the image. Props can add interest, but again, less is more. Props should complement the product, not distract from it.

Important: Make sure you describe exactly what you're selling and what constitutes props. Legal pitfalls can quickly arise here.

4. The right perspective
Experiment with different angles to find the best perspective for your product. A top-down (flatlay) shot works well for smaller products resting on a table or flat surface. For larger objects or those intended to be handheld, an angle of around 45 degrees can be appealing. Remember to hold the camera steady to avoid camera shake—a small tripod can be very useful here.
