Product photos that sell

Buyers can't touch your product, so photos do the selling. You don't need a studio — a phone and a window are enough.

• Light: shoot near a window in the morning or late afternoon. Turn off room lights to avoid mixed colours.
• Background: a plain wall, a bedsheet or chart paper. Keep it the same for every product so your shop looks consistent.
• Angles: front, back, close-up of fabric or texture, and one photo in use (worn, styled or held).
• Scale: show size with a hand, a model or a familiar object.
• Count: 3 to 6 photos per product. The first one is the cover in your shop grid.
