It’s Better to Do a Photo Shoot Inside a Studio

The obvious dominance of smartphones, tablets, and other forms of mobile devices gave rise to what many call the “selfie” generation, especially with the proliferation of photography apps like Instagram and Camera 360. When it comes to having a professional-looking set of portraits and pictures for the many important chapters in life, however, nothing beats getting a good-old studio photo shoot.

Many may argue that photography studios are now a thing of the past because developers have made it possible to include editing tools in photography apps, which can be used in just about every mobile phone. What seems to be an advantage over traditional cameras carries an inherent drawback: photos captured using smartphones do not look very natural. Photos taken in studios, while also going through the editing process, end up looking more natural since the edits are done personally and do not rely on a generic approach to making touch ups.

People also appreciate that photo studios always have what is needed during picture taking sessions. Studios are home to background and backdrop specialists, as well as lighting experts who can make every photo shoot unique. Inside studios, photographers can control the elements to truly capture one’s essence and best side. Customers don’t even have to worry about distractions; they can look forward to a better photography session instead of doing it with their phones.

A Guide to Showing off your Products

If you are running an online business with some unique products on offer, you will certainly want to showcase them better by uploading images of them to your website and/or social media accounts. No matter how useful or amazing the product may be, however, you might end up losing potential buyers if your images were taken in poor resolution. That’s why you’ll need the help of expert product photographers to capture visitor interest and potentially turn them into customers.

A product in a photographer’s sights should have ample lighting to create a smoother and fuller impression. Some lensmen use flash diffusers to suppress shadows. A white background also adds to the lighting effect; professional photographers use large studios with pre-attached white sheeting to help in the imaging.

Making your products stand out among the competition requires some unique angles. Analyze the item and see which angles can help tell a story about it. Your photographer can do the rest. The customer can probably be curious how big the actual item is and any measurement details can be confusing. Try putting the product against a familiar item to guide customers– such as, say, an action figure posed next to a double-A battery. Make sure the photographer is able to focus on more minute details.

Pictures speak a thousand words, as the adage goes. A product that has been shot well can win buyers over in a heartbeat.
