The document provides guidelines for product photography to help products sell online. It recommends that photos should be high quality, showcase the product from multiple angles and views, highlight detailing when zoomed in, and maintain consistency in style. Images should be in 1:1.5 ratio, 72dpi, JPEG format, and include front, side, back and detail shots. Proper cropping, posing, shadowing and orientation are also advised to enhance the product. Consistent quality product photos can make the difference between a sale and no sale.
2. Great product photography helps your products sell, It isnโt
rocket science, product photographs are often the only way
customers get to interact with the product before a purchase.
Showcasing your products with high-quality images can also
be the winning difference between a conversion and no sale
at all. This is particularly true if youโre also distributing your
products on marketplace sites like Myntra where they are
displayed alongside those of your competitors.
3. Guidelines
๏ฑ Make sure theyโre high quality
High quality is an absolute must. You want your customers to get the clearest picture possible, both literally and
figuratively, when it comes to your products, and high quality photos are an integral part of achieving that.
๏ฑ Incorporate alternate views
Product photos showcasing alternate views are another must-have. Remember: You want to be able to recreate
the experience of a customer walking into a store and being able to pick up a product and look at it. Showcase
your product by displaying pictures from different angles and from different proximities.
๏ฑ Product Detailing
For your product photos to be their very best, youโll want to make sure that itโs easy to zoom-in on them. The
photo should remain clear, even when zoomed in on, and really highlight your products detailing.
๏ฑ Consistency
In order to enhance your brand and give the most cohesive ecommerce shopping experience, your product photos
should be consistent. Whether you use Flash or no Flash, a background or no background or a model or a
mannequin, the important part is that whatever creative decisions you make, you apply them across the board.
