Pro Tips for Capturing Perfect Product Shots

Think back to the last purchase you made online, what flashes through your mind? More than likely, you're seeing the ad or photo of the product that made you buy it! Especially in today's time, there's endless advertising you see daily, always trying to sell you something. 

If you're a business, it may seem very hard to stick out from the crowd. Don't stress! Although it's a very competitive world out there, a professional product photoshoot will transform how the public sees your brand. 

Whether you're a new photographer or a business looking to get an edge in its branding, our blog is here to help! We explain some of our top tips for taking perfect product photos; let's get into the details! 

  

1. Get the Lighting Right 

Good lighting is crucial in product photography, the right lighting allows you to highlight its best features. Use natural light if you can, as it often gives the best results. If you are shooting indoors, set up your artificial lighting to avoid harsh shadows and evenly illuminate your product. 

 

2. Choose a Simple Background 

Your background should not distract from the product. A simple, uncluttered background works best. White is a popular choice as it creates a clean look and allows the product to remain the focus. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a solid color that complements the product. 

 

3. Focus on Sharpness and Detail 

Sharp, clear images are non-negotiable. Use a tripod to avoid any camera shake and ensure your product is in sharp focus. Pay attention to the small details - they can make a big difference in the overall quality of the shot. 

 

4. Consistency is Key 

For brands, especially, consistency in your product photos is important. This means consistent lighting, angles, and backgrounds across all your images. It helps maintain a professional look and strengthens your brand identity.

Portrait or Landscape? Nailing That Perfect Shot

Ever find yourself in a bit of a pickle trying to decide whether to take a photo in portrait or landscape? Or maybe you have a photo you can’t quite figure out what it is about the composition you don’t like. When deciding between the two, there really isn’t a right or wrong answer; however, sometimes, it's not just about what looks good; it's about what feels right for the moment and how you plan to use that shot.  

 

At NTP 2 Photography, we get how this choice can shape the overall look and feel of your photo, and we’re here to help you decide. 

 

What’s Your Focus? 

 

Think about what you're trying to capture. Is it a sprawling landscape, a group photo, or a skyline? Go landscape. It’s great for when you need to grab more of the world in your frame.  

 

For something more personal, like a portrait or a tall subject like a skyscraper or a flower, portrait mode is likely your best bet. It adds a touch of intimacy or grandeur, depending on your subject. 

 


Planning to Post or Print? 

 

How you plan to use the photos is key in deciding. Some examples include: 

  • Making a slideshow for TikTok or Instagram Reels? - Portrait fits best 

  • Taking branding shots? - A mix of both for variability in content 

  • Creating a business profile or business card? - Portrait is the way to go 

  • Putting together a scrapbook or printed album? - Try both for visual interest 

  • Printing for wall decor? - Consider your space and the intended layout  

 

Try Both, Choose Your Favorite 

 

Here’s a pro tip: experiment! Sometimes, the best shot isn’t the most obvious one. Flip your camera and see what each orientation brings to the table. You might be surprised at what catches your eye. 

 

Need a Hand? NTP 2 Photography's Here 

 

Struggling to decide? We've got your back. At NTP 2 Photography, we’re all about capturing those perfect moments, whatever the orientation. From personal portraits to breathtaking landscapes, we help you capture those memories in the style that suits you best.

What to Wear for Your Headshots

Dressing to impress for photos can feel overwhelming with endless options. Of course, you want to put your best face forward for your professional portraits. Feeling comfortable and confident is the top priority for your outfit of choice.  

 

But if you’re not a fashion guru, NTP 2 Photography has tried and true wardrobe tips so you (and your business) can make a great first impression. Scroll on to get ready for your headshot photoshoot. 

  

Take an Industry Cue 

 

The type of industry you work in will be the gauge of appropriate attire to wear in your photo session.  

 

Your outfit will differ depending on if you work in an active, outdoor capacity versus a more formal or creative field or even one that requires a uniform. Pay attention to what your boss wears daily. And if you are the boss, take a look at what others in your industry are wearing in their headshots. 

Avoid Worn & Too-Casual Clothing 

 

No matter the type of job you have, you want to punch things up for your professional photos. While still keeping your industry in mind, opt for a bit more formal than your usual day-to-day wear.  

 

And make sure what you do select is in good condition and clean. This is particularly true of brighter clothing and knitted fabrics that can show pilling. We suggest opting for tailored items that are on the newer side or labeled “dry-clean only.” 

  

Bring Multiple Options 

 

Depending on which portrait session you book with NTP 2 Photography, we either allow two or three outfit changes for your headshots.  

 

We like to suggest the rule of three when it comes to your attire. The first outfit is what a client would see you in if they were in when meeting with you in a professional setting. Then, you want to go up a level for a more professional look, and then choose an outfit with a more casual feel. We normally say unless you are in the fitness industry then yoga pants won't cut it! 

  

So keep in mind what kind of work you’d normally be doing in your chosen location and what you’d normally be wearing. Whether you choose different colors or opt for a more formal look paired with a more casual look, it’s a good idea to have a variety of looks.  

 

It’s recommended that you bring back-ups just in case. You never know when you might have the misfortune of a spill, tear, or even angry bird wrecking your outfit. And as we shoot the photos we like to have options to choose from, and often when we see an outfit, we might decide to change the plan.  

 

At NTP2 Photography, The Business Headshot Session package offers 2 outfit changes and the Business Branding Session offers 3 outfit changes. 

  

Focus on Fit 

 

A tailored fit is always the best outfit choice for headshots. Wearing oversized clothes or even a tad too small can make you appear bigger than you are.  

 

Suits in darker colors are always a safe and timeless choice. Make sure the shoulders and arms are a perfect fit. If you’re concerned about the waist, don’t fret – headshots are usually from the shoulders and up or just above the waist. Because these photos are cropped, you may want to wear a top with a higher neckline, including keeping suit shirts buttoned up. 

Keep It Simple 

 

The best professional headshots are free from distraction, enhancing your natural features.  

 

Keeping jewelry minimal, classic, and simple is best. If wearing a necklace, pendants are best if visible above the crop of the photo. You’ll also want to keep hair and makeup light, natural, and representative of you.  

 

Ladies, you may even want to treat yourself to a blowout and professional makeup application with airbrushing for the perfect finish. 

  

Consider Color Psychology 

 

Color psychology is the study of hues relating to human behavior. Consider what message you want to communicate in your headshots and choose your wardrobe colors accordingly. 

  

• Dark colors are considered more formal and authoritative, particularly high-contrast pairings 

• Light colors are regarded as more approachable and friendly 

• Most bright colors, like reds, oranges, yellows, and blues, convey power, confidence, and energy 

• Neutral colors are conservative and, well, neutral 

  

Select Solid Colors 

 

Solid colors, or even very subtle patterns, are best for everyone. Avoid busy and bold patterns that are distracting from your face in headshots.  

 

Always avoid small, repetitive patterns to prevent the moire effect; a camera can pick this up and create a wavy design that looks like it’s moving. When in doubt, stick to all solids or a light, large-scale pattern like a soft plaid. 

  

Choose Clothes That Contrast 

 

If you have a company-branded headshot with branded colors, then you’re already set! Otherwise, keep in mind the backdrop of your portraits when choosing colors for your headshots.  

 

You’ll want to contrast with the background and your skin tone so you don’t look like a floating head. While you can get a great monochromatic look, it might be helpful to run your choices by the NTP 2 Photography team so we can guide you on the best options. 

Ready for Your Professional Headshots 

  

Whatever you choose to wear for your professional headshots, selecting a veteran photographer is paramount.  

 

At NTP 2 Photography, we offer several packages so you can choose what’s right for you and your business. Contact us today to learn more or to schedule your professional headshots!
