Planning a maternity shoot: timing, outfits and comfort
When to book, what to wear and how we keep a two-hour session easy on an expectant mother.
Product photos that sell online
Clean light, true colour and the right angles: a checklist for small brands.
Most marketplaces require a plain white background for the main photo, and customers decide in a second whether to look closer. The product should fill most of the frame, with even light and no harsh shadows.
Colour accuracy matters more than anything else. A kurta that arrives a shade different from its photo is a return. We photograph with calibrated lights and include a colour reference card in the first frame of every set.
Show each product from at least two angles, plus a close-up of the detail customers ask about: the fabric weave, the clasp, the stitching or the label. For clothing, a photo on a person helps customers judge fit.
Styled photos, on a table with props or in a setting, are best for your website, catalogue and social pages, not for the main marketplace image. Plan both in one shoot to save time and keep the colours consistent across everything you publish.
