Amazon is one of the world's leading e-commerce platforms and is considered one of the most preferred marketplaces for online sellers. This platform offers an excellent opportunity to increase brand awareness, reach new customers and expand your business into wider markets and revenue streams.

Although being successful and selling on Amazon is similar to running your own online store, it has a different dynamic with Amazon's own rules and intense competition. One of the keys to standing out in this competitive environment is the quality of your product photos.

In this article, we'll walk you through the basic steps you need to know to take remarkable product photos on Amazon.

Creating a Product Photography Shot List for Amazon
When preparing your shot list, it is useful to study Amazon's page layout and image placement. This will help you better understand how to plan and design your images. Amazon typically requires six high-quality static images and one product video. If you are not a registered brand, you can fill this space with a 360-degree rotating product photo, quality lifestyle composite images, or infographics.

What Should Be on Your Shooting List
1. Photo of a master list on a white background.
2. Detailed pictures showing the features and advantages of the product.
3. Lifestyle composite images.
4. Product video or 360 degree product photo.

Equipment Selection and Background Adjustment
A quality DSLR camera, a variety of lens options and a plain white background are essential for professional-grade product photography. You can use white poster board or seamless paper to meet Amazon's requirement for a plain white background.
