Product photography is critical for businesses selling online. Good product photography can make or break a sale. If your product photos are unappealing or of poor quality, customers will likely move on to a competitor’s site. On the other hand, if your product photos are professional and inviting, you’ll have a much better chance of making a sale. Here’s a closer look at why good product photography is essential and how it can help your business sell more online products.
Conveys Product Quality
One of the most essential functions of product photography is conveying the quality of your product. If your product photos are low-quality, it will reflect poorly on the quality of your product. Conversely, if your product photos are high-quality, it will give customers the impression that your product is also high-quality. This is especially important for businesses selling luxury or high-end items.
Helps Customers Visualize Products
Another critical role of product photography is helping customers visualize products. This is especially important for businesses selling products that are difficult to visualize, such as clothing or home decor. By providing quality product photos, you can give customers a better idea of what your product looks like and how it might fit into their lives. This can be the difference between making a sale and losing out to a competitor.
Builds Trust With Customers
In addition to conveying quality and helping customers visualize products, good product photography also helps build trust with customers. If customers feel like they can trust your business, they’re more likely to make a purchase. High-quality product photos show that you’re invested in your business and are serious about providing quality products and services.
As you can see, good product photography plays a critical role in eCommerce success. Now is the time to start if you’re not already investing in professional product photography. Doing so will help you sell more products online and build trust with your customers.

This weekend I had two sessions for Write Notepads & Co. The first one was a portrait session and video interview, part of their left-handed series. The other was some product photos. The product photos are always the most difficult. You know 1 hour of set up and 10 minutes of shooting.
Both these sessions were broadcast on Meerkat, a mobile streaming app, and I will continue to stream all my shoots in the future. So, save me to your watch list.
I personally want great and fun photo sessions with my clients and other partners. Creativity should not be stressful. In order to make each session fun, cool, and productive, all the players in the drama have to be ready and prepared.
Most people think modeling is easy and anyone can do it, but the truth is it is very hard work. You will ask yourself, ” how many times can I take the same step before this photographer can get this shot. Without the model nothing would get done, no one wants to see their clothes on a mannequin. So, I found some videos that really help female models have the moves. You will look awesome and make the photographer look like a champ.
The first is from model scout Trudi Tapscott, How to Do Modeling Poses | Modeling, it is more like a training video but the advice and direction will get you hired and called back.
