Is Product Photography Really a Good Investment?

Early in my photography career, I interviewed at a large apparel company based in Boston for the position of in-house product photographer. Throughout the interview process, I discovered that the company was in desperate need of a skilled product photographer due to significant losses caused by the freelancers they had previously hired.

Why?

The answer is simple: specialized knowledge.

As anyone who has made an online purchase knows, there is nothing quite as frustrating as eagerly ordering an item, only to receive it and find that it looks nothing like what was depicted on the screen. Customers would see a shirt online in a particular color, only to receive the item and discover that the color was not what they expected, leading to frustration and returns.

Because the freelance photographers hired by this company lacked a solid understanding of color science, the company incurred substantial losses due to returns, and, more critically, they lost the trust of their customers.

Now, if you're a large company selling products online nationwide, it's essential to ensure that the photographer you hire possesses extensive knowledge of color, retouching, lighting, and all the necessary expertise to maximize your business's chances of success.

As a small business in particular, there might be an inclination to hire someone who is simply a good photographer or someone who has access to nice camera gear. While the resulting photos may look aesthetically pleasing, there are dangerous repercussions when it comes to delivering on your promises to your customers.

For a small business, a dissatisfied customer may not return the purchased items or leave a negative review, but their trust is lost. Consequently, they are less likely to speak positively about your business to their peers.

So, ask yourself: Is hiring a professional product photographer a worthwhile investment?

A hand model is someone who specializes in modeling their hands for various purposes, such as advertising campaigns, commercials, product demonstrations, or editorial shoots. They may be hired to showcase products like jewelry, cosmetics, skincare, accessories, or household items, where the focus is on the hands rather than the face or body.

A hand model plays a crucial role in capturing attention, conveying product value, and ultimately influencing purchasing decisions through visually compelling and persuasive imagery.

A full-body model refers to a person who is hired to showcase products or clothing by presenting their entire body in advertisements, promotional materials, or fashion shows. These models are typically selected based on their physique, height, proportions, and overall appearance to best represent the brand or product being advertised. Full-body models play a crucial role in helping consumers visualize how products look when worn or used in real life, and they contribute to creating visually appealing and persuasive marketing campaigns.

A hero shot in photography refers to the primary or standout image used to showcase a product, person, or concept.
