WHY YOUR PRODUCT PHOTOS ARE LIKE DONUTS...
Imagine your product photos as the delicious donut base. They're good, but they're missing that extra something, that “icing on the cake” - or in this case, the icing on the donut! Props and backdrops are like the colorful sprinkles that add flavor and flair to your shots.
From vibrant backgrounds to eye-catching props, they're the secret ingredient to making your product images pop! That's where we come in… we're your prop and backdrop besties!
HOW TO CHOOSE PROPS AND BACKDROPS WISELY: AVOID THESE COMMON MISTAKES.
- Random props that distract rather than enhance.Your product is the star, not the props. Choose items that complement and accentuate your product's features. Avoid clutter and stick to a cohesive theme that aligns with your brand. A sleek watch might benefit from a leather strap or a stylish pen, but throwing in unrelated props is a recipe for visual chaos.
-
Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Experiment with props that might seem unconventional at first. Break free from the routine and discover how unexpected elements can breathe new life into your product photos.
-
Your backdrop should showcase, not steal the spotlight. Opt for simple, clean backgrounds that amplify your product's appeal. Avoid overly busy patterns or unrelated environments that detract from what you're selling. Remember, the goal is to create a seamless, professional look that puts your product front and centre.
-
Textures add depth and character to your visuals. Don't shy away from experimenting with various surfaces and backgrounds. A textured backdrop surface or prop surface can add sophistication and elevate the overall aesthetic.
-
Creativity is key, but it should serve your product, not overshadow it. Experimentation is excellent, but do it with a clear goal in mind. Consider your target audience, product identity, prop use and market trends. Test different angles, lighting, and compositions, but always ensure that your creative choices align with your brand's image.
-
Colours evoke emotions and tell a story. Ensure your product photos and prop choice align with your brand's colour palette. Don't underestimate the power of a cohesive colour scheme—it strengthens brand recognition and creates a visually pleasing experience for your audience.
