How to choose a photographer
- See a portfolio in your category (products, food, people).
- Ask about equipment and lighting and whether editing is included.
- Agree on the number of final photos, their sizes and formats.
- Agree on usage rights: web, print, ads.
- Ask for a small test before a large project.
- Make sure delivery date and revision process are clear.
Tips for product photos that sell more
- Use a white background for the main store image and lifestyle shots for detail.
- Show the product's size with a comparison, a hand or real use.
- Shoot the same angles for all products so the store looks organized.
- Keep colors consistent across images.
- Compress images for fast loading without losing quality.
- Write descriptive alt text for images to help SEO.
Checklist before shoot day
- Define use, sizes and a shot list.
- Prepare clean, complete products with their packaging.
- Gather props, backgrounds and a visual reference.
- Decide location, lighting and timing.
- Agree on the final photo count and delivery date.
- Prepare releases for photographing people.
Common mistakes in business photography
- Poor lighting that makes colors look untrue.

- Ignoring usage rights and releases.
How we work on photography
We first understand how the images will be used, then prepare a shot list and a visual style consistent with your identity. We run the session with considered lighting, edit the images and deliver them in web and social sizes. Photography can be tied to editing, page management and your website so everything comes out in one identity.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a professional photographer or is a phone enough?
A modern phone with good light may be enough for some content. For store photos and ads, professional photography and controlled lighting raise trust and conversion.
How many photos does each product need?
Three to six: main, side, detail, in-use and size reference if needed.
Who owns the photos after the shoot?
Usage rights should be agreed in writing. Normally rights pass to the client for use in their business.
How long does delivery take?
Two to seven days depending on the number of photos and editing level.
