Additional Photography
Mind the Gap
Evaluating existing shots and creating images that fill in information gaps for the viewer is key. The outcome should be converting customers to purchase through a seamless and user friendly buying experience.
-
Additional Photography
Functionality
The first styling goal in most cases will be to show the product's funcionality. Simple 'hot item on trivet' shots are key here. Showing items in use with models will often be a nice solution.
-
Additional Photography
Scale
For many items, contextualizing its scale will be an important objective. Everyday kitchen items and models play an important role here. Often you can cover both scale and functionality in the same shot.
-
Additional Photography
Unique Selling Point
For products with more unique characteristics, it will be important to clarify their intended use. For instance, show items nested, from multiple angles or gift packaged. Featuring alternate uses can be effective as well..
-
Additional Photography
Column
One additional image per product is currently the minimum goal, but fitting in secondary images when possible should be a focus. Closeups to show texture and details will be a good way to bump up the shot numbers here.
-
Additional Photography
Collection Props & Packaging
Featuring other items from the same collection as the main product is encouraged if it makes sense in the setup. Gift box packaging can be used as a prop or riser of sorts as well, but packaging focused photography will be done separately.

Image Guidelines
Show the product with other objects to give context or show how people would use the product in real life.
The product should be the main focus, ensure the props/models do not draw the attention away from the actual product.
