You know how they say “a picture’s worth a thousand words”? When it comes to product reviews and recommendations, it’s 100% accurate.
CLEAR THE CLUTTER
Busy backgrounds can be distracting and make it hard to know make it hard to know what you’re highlighting.
SHOW US THE PRODUCT
Take the product out of the box. (Yes, we know: it should go without saying.) This can help someone imagine how the product would fit into their own lives.
TRY AN EDITING APP
Free, user-friendly photo editing apps like VSCO or Snapseed can help your pics look like a pro’s, right from your phone.
USE NATURAL LIGHT
Aim to take your photos during the day when natural light makes everything (and everyone!) look their best. Be sure to position yourself between the window and the product to avoid shadows.
Kitchen Appliances Tips & Examples
Show how it fits in.
Show the product in its natural habitat so people can imagine it in their home. Where are you storing it? How much space does it take? Does it fit in with your (or their) style?
#humblebrag your cooking.
We all love food photos, right? (Right?!) Show off what you’ve made and spotlight the product at the same time.
Stage your photo.
Okay, so maybe in real life we don’t have fruits artfully scattered next to our blender, but it gives the photo more depth and makes it more interesting.
Capture your work-in-progress.
Foodie photos don’t always have to be plated masterpieces: a “before” shot of ingredients in (or alongside) the product can be a fun way to show the product in use.
