For every product shot, choosing a plain white background is considered as the best.
The white background lets your product really take the spotlight and removes any distractions.
You can also display your products to your audience in their environment. For fashion, it could be on a model. For cooking gear, you can shoot in the kitchen.
No matter what product you have, make sure the background works well for the product as well as for your target customer.
Avoid distractions and ensure any background adds to the focus instead of taking away from it.
Tip 3: Have Proper Lighting
Natural lighting i.e the sun rays are best, free, and much more forgiving to work with than artificial lighting.
If you are taking photos inside, set up your white background “studio” with a window to either the right or left and a white reflector of some sort on the opposite side.
This lights your product evenly and without shadows.
If you’re taking photos at night or in a room where natural light is limited, in such a case, you can use artificial light.
Tip 4: Capture Different Angles and Details

As the price of the product is high, the customer needs much knowledge before they make a purchase. Make sure to display lots of high-quality images of your most expensive products to help make the sale.
Try to capture all the sides and angles you can, and make sure to zoom in on detailed areas and points of use: zippers, buttons, controls, straps, etc.
Tip 5: Choose the highest quality/resolution setting you can
