Producing high-quality images for your business requires a lot of work and skill. There are obvious variables such as the type of tools you use or the amount of talent or knowledge that you have. Let’s review them to see what you are in for.
The Right Tools
First off you need the right tools. We have mentioned in several of our previous blog post that this is the key to it all. Having the right equipment matters when it comes to getting the best shot – easily. This goes for amateur and professionals. Having the right lens, light sources, reflectors, turntable and a clutter free background can help you achieve a good shot. Remember the camera cannot do magic on its own. It is simply a tool in the mix of all that you need.
Editing Software
Having the right equipment can certainly reduce or even eliminate editing, however editing can always be used to add ‘feel’ to a picture and make it ‘pop’. Ideally, your editing software is part of the photography process and not a stand-alone application. While Photoshop can do incredible things, in the day to day grind of eCommerce photography speed and the ability to re-use editing presets are also extremely valuable.
Knowledge
Knowledge about photography is never-ending. When it comes to photography, anyone interested should take the time to learn the basics of their light and camera. There are several resources you can turn to on the Web such as blog articles, YouTube videos and online classes. Learn aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal length, sensor size and all of their side effects. It will help you to know what to do in any given situation to achieve a worthy photograph.
