Internet Product Photography & Why.
ALTERNATIVE VIEWS
Customers don’t buy what they can’t see, "You need to show
alternative views because you’re really trying to close the
touch-and-feel barrier that is lacking on the website that you
can experience in a store setting.
Source: Victorinox.com
Without the ability to touch, hold, smell, taste or otherwise handle the products
customers have only images to interact with.
CONVERSION RATE
Ultimately, the softer, tastier, flashier and more attractive
your products look to shoppers, the more confident they’ll
feel about purchasing from you and the better your
“conversion rate” will be.
EVALUATE PRODUCTS
Provide a competitive advantage. In a crowded e-commerce
landscape offering high quality images (and plenty of them)
helps users evaluate products and decide to buy.

E Retail Photo Shoot Best Practices.
•CATEGORY PAGE IMAGES. •PRODUCT PAGE IMAGES. •ZOOMED/DETAILED PRODUCT IMAGES.
For category images it makes sense to:
1. Use images to complement text descriptions.
2. Be sure images are large enough for
comparisons.
3. Display color swatches.
For product images it makes sense to:
1. Offer detailed images and multiple views.
2. Enable users to see product variations.
3. Don’t group products into the same
image.
4. Make it easy for users to switch between
views and variations.
For zoomed images it makes sense to:
1. For exceptionally large items, offer many
views..
2. Have Adequate resolution.
3. In Focus with the mouse over.
