How Do We Perform Decorated Product Photography?

Taking product photos at home or shooting with a cell phone may sometimes not be enough for your sales. Because you need to leave your products to professional photographers to show your products better and attract customers' attention. We have listed certain items we pay attention to for still life photography for you below. 

1) We recognize your brand.

It is really important to realize concept shoots by understanding your brand's stance and style in general. How does your brand reflect your business? How did you choose the colors? All of these factors can be included in the decors and backdrops we use for lifestyle photo shoots. So your brand can be found in the best way on all the platforms you will use to show yourself.

2) We know your target audience.

Another point to consider is to know who your products appeal to. Also, are your products in a luxury case or are they budget-friendly? Do your products appeal to a certain age range or to a community with a particular interest? It is really important for still life photography to determine your target audience by answering questions like this. If you send us these details, it will enable us to take photos that will appeal to your target audience and help you create images that will increase your sales.

3) We create a moodboard.

After discussing both of the above details with you, we create a moodboard for still life shoots (Pinterest is great for moodboards!) this will help you decide what kind of shoot we want to do and what you want and don't want. We have various Pinterest boards to get you started, take a look. This helps us to get our heads around backgrounds, props and arrangements for still life shoots.

4) We determine the decorations.

Choosing the right props for the photos we take can be a challenge, but we can do our best to find elements in our props that will help to communicate something about your product. For example, we can incorporate some of the raw materials from your product into our decor for a still life shot, or if there are key elements of your product that you want to attract your target audience to, we can emphasize them. To create a unified look in your images, keep accessories simple or in the colors you use for your brand. Also, in general, large accessories should be avoided as they distract customers from the product.

5) We set the background.

The background you choose to use is as important as the props. You can keep your background very simple by using colored cardboard and paper, or you can shoot with different textured surfaces such as wood, marble, fabric, wallpaper. The important thing is that the background does not attract more attention than the product. Once you have achieved this, the backgrounds will help you create your own style and help to communicate what your product is all about. For still life shots, it is important to avoid multi-patterned and clashing colored backgrounds that do not match your product.

After paying attention to all these details, we blend them all for concept shooting and realize our decorated product shooting with our professional studio setup. All professional photographers in our team take beautifully decorated product photo shoots. You can review these shooting examples below.

Choosing props for a photo shoot is a critical step to make your products stand out and grab the attention of customers. This applies to a product photo shoot at home or a shoot in a professional studio. Concept photo shoots bring your products to life and place them in a story. So, how can we make an impressive styled product photo shoot? Here are a few suggestions.

1. Concept Identification: Concept shoots revolve around a specific theme or story. When deciding on a photo concept for your products, think about which features of your products you want to emphasize. The product's target audience, usage and brand identity all play a role in determining the concept. A concept shoot allows you to create unique and eye-catching photos that reflect the personality of your products.

2. Decor Selection: Photo shoot props determine the overall aesthetics of the shoot and how you showcase your products. Photo studio props can include natural materials, colorful backgrounds, unique props and lighting elements. Choose props depending on the type of your products and your shooting concept. For example, if you have a natural product range, you can use natural props such as wood and plants.

3. Shooting Techniques: How you take your product photos greatly affects how your products will look. With good lighting and a high-quality camera, you can take professional-level photos. Also, various photography apps and editing tools allow you to make your product photos more attractive.

4. Product Photography for Instagram: Instagram is the perfect platform to promote your products. When doing product photoshoots for Instagram, keep in mind the visual-driven nature of the platform. Focus on taking high-quality, aesthetic and engaging photos.

As a result, product photography with decor makes your products more attractive and helps you reach potential customers. With good planning, a unique concept and an impressive decor, you can take photos that showcase the best of your products.
