To take fabulous pictures that make your product
stand out and appeal to your potential customers, keep two things in mind:
Simplicity and Natural Lighting. Below are a few examples of common mistakes
made when beginning the journey towards the perfect photograph. In my search for the ability to take a great photo of my product I've made many mistakes, each of them bringing with it a new lesson to be learned. There is joy in the journey! Below are a couple of my early photographs that I learned from later.
I figured if it is hanging on a velvet display
in black I was safe.
The background is very simple…elegant even? I
was wrong.
Here is what I came up with after getting
some
great advice from a few people more experienced
than me. This was the day I fell in love with a
simple white background and natural lighting!
This picture was taken with my Galaxy Sii phone
camera. It has an 8MP
sensor with single LED flash and a multitude of shooting options. I taped white
paper to the inside of a box and snapped the picture outside in the natural
light, but not in direct sunlight. I was amazed at what was able to be done
with simple items I already had!
I hope you
find this helpful and encouraging. We don’t have to be professional
photographers to take wonderful pictures of our products. Armed with this
knowledge let us go forth and explore all the ways we can have fun learning and
growing together in the ever expanding world of internet marketing.
