Perfect Product Preparation

Achieving professional product photos starts with meticulous preparation. Hypop emphasizes cleaning and polishing your items to perfection. Avoid smudges by wearing gloves, and ensure packaging is flawless—no wrinkles or dents to distract from your products’ appeal.

Mastering Lighting Choices

Natural light can be inconsistent, making artificial lighting essential for ecommerce photography. Hypop highlights two options: continuous lights, like the Godox SL60, which offer steady illumination for beginners, and flashlights, such as the Godox MS300V, ideal for freezing motion and creating high-impact results.

Choosing the Right Backdrop

For ecommerce photography, a clean white backdrop is a classic choice. Hypop suggests larger paper rolls for furniture, half rolls for medium-sized items, and flat lay options for smaller products like jewelry. These backdrops ensure a professional aesthetic while highlighting each product’s features.

Handling Reflective Surfaces

Reflective items like wine bottles and jewelry require special tools to reduce glare and distractions. Hypop recommends diffusion paper rolls for standing items and photography cones for lying products. These techniques ensure your reflective objects look polished and appealing.

Adding Dynamic Angles

Take your product visuals to the next level with turntables. Hypop introduces the Folio 360 by Orange Monkey, which allows for 360-degree videos and multi-angle photography. It’s an excellent way to provide customers with an immersive view of your products.
