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.

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!
BUSINESS HEADSHOTS AND TEAM PORTRAITS
When I started in the world of photography I didn't have the slightest insight into where I would be today with photography and video production. Since starting I have found my area of focus to be in the world of branding and portraiture specifically business and professional lifestyle. Working with a business on how to promote their business I try to be subjective and think of what I would want to see if I were on their website. Capturing someone to relay professional, genuine, confident and most importantly approachable. The other part to doing these types of portraits is to let them be in their element, I mean who likes having their picture taken or at least most of these scenarios where they know they need to. Mickey Keenan's staff reached out needing updated portraits and was looking for a restored faith in photographers so I knew I needed to exceed their expectations. I set up at their office in the hallway and just worked with each person one at a time. The interaction while photographing them can make a difference and luckily I have experience with getting people to open up in a short period of time. One at a time they were all having a great time and peeking at the back of the camera and they were liking what they see. After that, we did some team portraits in their waiting area and then had a little fun showing off some of their merchandise and did a mask picture with their Mickey Keenan facemark that they have available in the office. The last thing we did was action shots of the legal team working together.

FLEET PORTRAITS BY PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER IN GIBSONTON, FL
DRIRITE is based out of Gibsonton, FL and is a restoration cleaning company and also does carpet and floor cleaning. As a expert in branding I take my role very serious when helping a company to showcase their team. We started on a Friday morning early so the crews could still head out on their jobs. Arranging the trucks was going great and then we ran into a few challenges. I know you can't see it in the picture but there was a palm bush that was in the center of the shot in the parking lot that was blocking the center vehicles and where the owners were standing. I attempted to fly the drone in different spots to get it out but in order to see the team well it couldn't be done. Quick thinking we were able to cut it down so it wasn't blocking the shot. After I got the shot I took it into Photoshop to remove the rest of the bush and a few other spots. With the drone being in the air when taking photos it can be rather uncertain of the camera taking since there is no traditional noise or flash going off.
After capturing about 5-6 photos I had the team wave while taking photos and then for good measure took 20-30 seconds of 4k Video Footage. After we sent the crew on their way we went inside the capture the management team. As I have written before most are not for having their photo taken so had to make sure to capture their attention quickly while ensuring the quality was top notch. These portraits are going to be used on their website and social platforms to stay up to date and ahead of their market.
