Online buyers likely don’t notice the many shiny, reflective, or transparent products available across different ecommerce niches. There’s no reason to—they’re simply shopping online. But if they come across a listing with a poorly edited product photo, it could make or break their purchase decision. They might be distracted by the glare of plastic product wrapping, spot a necklace with visible scratches, or a kitchenware set with photographer reflections on the metal surface. Those products will stick out like a sore thumb for all the wrong reasons. Many products have challenging shiny, reflective, or transparent surfaces, so it helps to know how to shoot and edit them for a professional result. Look at some of our tips and tricks to help you create high-quality product photos that lead to sales—even on a DIY budget.
