In today’s marketplace, where almost everyone spends hours a week composing, selecting and even editing their own cellphone photos, consumer expectations around product and service photography have never been higher. Well-lit, expertly composed and creatively staged photos convey all the quality and effort you’ve put into your product or offer: anything less detracts. They give you an essential asset for all digital platforms, from social media and websites, to animated videos and more. Quality product photos also convey an accurate representation of your product so people can really see what they’re buying. Photography gives you the ability to creatively show off your product in different ways throughout the year as well, whether it’s a Christmas bundle or a summertime discount offer. 

The number of product photos varies depending on the type of product, the number of features you want to point out, and all the different places (website, posters, etc.) it will appear. It’s recommended to have multiple photos for each product to ensure variety, showcase different aspects of the product and provide a comprehensive view to potential customers. Around five to ten images per product is ideal, as well as group shots if the product is part of a series. 

A product photography photoshoot includes props, lighting equipment, and a space for the shoot. Prop selection depends on the product, the season and the overall goals of the shoot. For example, a christmas tea packaging shoot might include mugs, christmas decorations, a colorful backdrop and cookies. Each shoot is unique to the brand and purpose.

This all depends on your product and the amount of products you have… but we always take more than enough photos! This allows us to hand-pick the images that we feel represent your brand and objectives best, and try different compositions and effects that we’ve pre-planned as well as improvised with while shooting. On average, you’ll walk away with approximately ten images per product depending on the length of the shoot. If it’s a two-day shoot, image quantity will double.
