What you need is the right mix of shots — each serving a clear purpose: Hero Image 📸 The first impression. Clean, powerful, and scroll-stopping. This is the shot that makes people click.

Your product in real life! These images help buyers imagine how it fits into their world.

FAQ
Do I really need all five shots for my product?
Not always. Some brands start smaller! But this set of five is the most commonly used because it covers every angle buyers expect to see — from the polished Hero to the small product details.
Can I start with fewer photos and add later?
Yes! Many brands start with 2–3 key images (Hero + Lifestyle + Detail) and then expand as they grow.
What makes professional product photography different from DIY?
It’s not just about the camera. Lighting, styling, and editing create consistent results that truly represent your brand!
Do you also do video? Yes, we do! Motion control video and 360° spins are perfect upgrades once your photo system is in place!
