The Three Skills Your Product Photographer Can’t Do Without

If you are a business owner, then the internet is a selling tool you simply can’t do without. The spread of ecommerce has made it possible for traders and manufacturers to offer their products and services without necessarily having a brick and mortar shop/godown/showroom/office. While this has made things easier, yet there are some things that the business owner needs to have, to ensure success. For example, if the company has some products it wants to sell, then the owner needs to have some very good pictures of the product. This is because the prospective customer won’t get a chance to touch and feel the product, as was the case in traditional selling scenarios at shops. Unless you are a business owner who is also a good photographer, then you can do all of it yourself. But otherwise you need to hire the services of a good product photographer Atlanta. Let us take a look at three of the specific skills and attributes the product photographer must have.

Tabletop photography – This is one of the basic requirements that a product photographer needs to have. The name comes from the photographer placing the product(s) on a table and taking tight close ups which can highlight the good features of the product. This is different from nature or other photography where the photographer is at a distance from the subject. The reason this skill is important is because the photographer needs to have the skill to accentuate the good features in the photograph without highlighting possible flaws. Look at past work to see how strong the photographer is on this aspect.

Good Strike Rate – With the passing of film roll and the advent of digital cameras, there has been a big change in the mindset of photographers. Back in the day, roll was costly and so photographers had to reduce the number of tries they had before getting the perfect shot. But there is a tendency towards profligacy in the digital age. Photographers keep on clicking countless images with the intention of choosing the best one later. But when you are running to a schedule, this can often mean a longer turnaround time. So go for a photographer who can get the best shot quickly. You can make this out by the time the ecommerce photography service Houston asks for to complete your job.

The Photoshop Age – The digital age has done away the limitations brought by photography rolls, and there is no limit to the number of photographs taken. Another change we see today is that there are a number of tools (like Photoshop) available, which provide a wide array of editing tools to accentuate / improve the pictures later. The photographer you choose needs to be aware of this, and use proper lighting and camera exposure which can later help the image editing team to turn around the photographs faster.

The advent of digital photography has made photography within the reach of many people. But that doesn’t mean it has made photography any easier. Product photographers, for example, would surely need the above skills to succeed.
