Tips for Preparing Your Products for Their Close-Up

Welcome to the insider’s guide to getting your products camera-ready! With e-commerce soaring, a top-notch photo can be the deciding factor for potential buyers to stop scrolling and click “buy” on your product instead of one from another store. Let’s dive into some tips that can take your product photography from good to great—without any stress. Remember, we're here to make things smooth and simple for small business owners like you.

Start with a Spotless Stage

The first step is all about presentation. Ensure your product looks its best by giving it a thorough cleaning. Any smudges or dust can be magnified on camera, turning an otherwise stunning shot into a no-go. Grab that microfiber cloth and get polishing!

Iron Out the Creases

If you’re shooting products with fabric, wrinkles can be a distracting element. A quick iron or steam can make your product look professional and cared for. It’s a simple step that supports a quality image, crucial for proving to customers your product is worth their investment.

Reflect Your Brand’s Essence

Before the shoot, think about what your product stands for.

Is it fun and vibrant, or sleek and sophisticated?

Choosing the right background and supporting props can reinforce your brand message and make your product pop. If you're uncertain, we’ve got your back—our product image styles offer different options to set the perfect scene.

Consistency is Key

Maintain a consistent style across your product photos.

This creates a cohesive look for your e-commerce shop and builds trust with shoppers.

If you’re not sure where to start, consistency can be as simple as using the same background, lighting, and angle for each shot.
