E-commerce pushing the Need for Product Photographers in Mumbai

Professional product photographers in Mumbai are being hired by e-commerce websites to get best quality images of products. A potential buyer’s purchase decision is based on how good or bad the product image looks. First impressions count if you want buyers to browse through products on your website. 

As far as online retail and ecommerce is concerned, product photography plays an important role in deciding whether or not a customer will buy a product. An online store’s biggest asset is beautiful and high quality images that showcase the products in a clear manner. Such images help in increasing conversions by increasing online sales. 

Here are few tips that you can consider in order to try your hands at product photography:

There is no need for you to have expensive equipment in order to get some stunning shots of products. You just need to have the following factors sorted:

• A studio setup

• A good camera

• Good lighting

• Unique product styling

• Post production techniques

Make sure you use a camera that has good aperture settings and manual exposure. You don’t have to buy a camera worth 1 Lac in order to get the desired images.

A studio setup can be done anywhere in your house or office. Just make sure the place is spacious so that you are able to move around and shoot the product from different angles. Since you will have to have a simple ‘sweep’ backdrop every time you shoot pictures, it is recommended to fix a certain area for the setup and keep the backdrop as it is. This will eliminate the need to setup and tear down the backdrop for every photo shoot.

All you will need for the setup is a room, a table, roll of white paper and some duct tape to stick the stick the paper on which you will be placing the product. You will also need a tripod to make sure the camera is stable while clicking photos.

Third comes lighting which is crucial for high quality images. Product styling is equally important because this is what the customers will see. Before the photos are clicked, it becomes important to make sure there are no stains on the product, wrinkles (if you are photographing clothes) or any tag, sticker or dust.

A good graphic designer or image re-toucher will be required in the end to edit the images before they are uploaded on the website. From the size and margin to background color, alignment and shadow type, every aspect should be taken into consideration for delivering best of product images. 

Many online stores are hiring professional photographers in Mumbai because they want to offer what customers are looking for. They do so with the help of stunning images of the products. Images help customers understand the product in a better manner so the product needs to be shot from multiple angles. Good quality images also give a competitive edge to the online store.
