Product images represent the majority of your shop. Featured images are usually shot on a white background to create a consistent look across your product line.
Keep the following in mind when choosing your product photography:
- Your product is paramount. Choose images that showcase your product clearly and simply. Backgrounds should be recessive to highlight the detail of your products best.
- Consistency is key. Similar backgrounds will make your images look cohesive across your product line. These should be cropped into a square ratio for best results on our site.
- Showcase your work. Product photography is meant to showcase your product from its best angle. Use images with your products at the center.
