Photography is most effective and efficient when employed after the design stage is completed. Of course you want the highest quality representation of your products, so it makes sense to get professional help. This imparts a higher credibility to your company and products which leads to greater sales.
It is important to know the number, size and shape of the photos needed, as well as the appropriate lighting, background and any props to be used before the photo session. In some cases, specific items or materials may need to be procured first. In this way, the vision of the designer can best be rendered.
It is also important that the products to be photographed are hand picked for perfect details (no imperfections, correct color and finish, straight labels, etc.). Several perfect samples of each product should be brought to the studio. If food is being shown, extra product for refreshing samples and showing usage is essential. See
