Product Photos > Product Description

Customers can't touch the product online. They rely 100% on photos. Bad photo = "Fake Product" in customer's mind.

The Smartphone Setup (Under ₹500)

  1. Camera: Any phone from last 3 years (iPhone 13+, Pixel 7+, Samsung S20+).
  2. Light: Window light (Sunlight). NOT direct sun (harsh shadows), but indirect bright light.
  3. Background: White Chart Paper (₹10 from stationery shop). Curve it to create an "Infinity Wall".
  4. Tripod: Cheap mobile tripod (₹300) to stop shake.

Shooting Checklist

  • Main Shot: Front facing, whole product visible.
  • Detail Shot: Zoom in on texture/fabric.
  • Scale Shot: Place a coin/pen/hand next to it to show size.
  • Lifestyle Shot: Product in use (e.g., wearing the jewelry).

Editing Apps (Free)

  • Lightroom Mobile: Adjust exposure/contrast.
  • Snapseed: Healing tool to remove dust spots.
  • Photoroom: Remove background automatically (AI).

Consistency Rule

Crop all images to Square (1:1). It looks best on Instagram and Amazon.
