Taking photos can be extremely hard at times because: you may not have the best camera, aren’t familiar with the correct camera setting to use, may not be able to get certain angles, or one of the biggest issues, capturing shots using the correct lighting.
A Few Pointers To Remember Before You Begin Taking Photos:
- Lighting is Everything – Try taking Photos Using Flash and Without Flash, Using Natural Light and Using Inside Lights, In Lighter Backgrounds and with Darker Backgrounds
- Take Some Close Up Photos – Many people will zoom in on a photo – Especially a Product – therefore try to take a few close up shots so the camera captures greater details
- Different Angles – Taking 10 of the same shot is not always necessary, capturing different angles and a 360 degree view will show the picture from many viewpoints
- Backgrounds – Always attempt to take products in a White/Clear Background
- Take A lot of Photos – Taking a lot of photos will only give you tons of different options to choose from when it’s time to select your website images
- You May Need to Hire Someone – Spending the $ to hire someone may not be in the plan, but it may be necessary so you get high quality pictures
Photos are extremely important!
Even if you can’t take the best photos, having the best photos are still very important. You wouldn’t want to lose out on a sale because a customer can’t clearly see what they’re getting OR misrepresent what you’re selling to the customer & form a bad reputation. Investing in having clear clean cut shots taken will always be in the best interest of your company and for your clientele.
