#1: Use proper lighting

Let’s start with product photography lighting. Without proper light, neither your product
nor your background is going to appear how it does to you in person. “A white
background without light doesn’t appear white in the photo, it appears grey,”

#2: Use a tripod

Tripods might sound like a nerdy, unnecessary piece of technical equipment, but they
make a huge difference in the clarity and quality of your product photography. And they
are not necessarily expensive or difficult to use!

#3: Shoot for the edit

When shooting your product photographs, try to shoot for the edit. With this mindset,
you’ll shoot knowing that you plan to do minimal editing that will simply enhance the
photograph without completely changing it. This will make for a far more desirable
result.

#4: Understand basic editing techniques

While editing should be minimal in most cases, it’s still a necessary skill to have in your
product photography handbook. Making some small edits – like tweaking the saturation
or even masking small flaws within your product photograph – can make a real difference
to the finished product.

#5: Take inspiration from brands you love

It is always helpful to look to others for inspiration. You likely already have some brands
in mind that you love. Take a look at their product photography and ask yourself how a
similar shot or technique could work for your products.
