There are so many product photographers out there, so how do you know if you’ve found the right one for your business?
\nHere are a few tips to help you make sure you choose the right product photographer to capture photos of your products and brand that will make you jump for joy when you receive them.<\/p>\n

1. Does their photography style align with what you are after?<\/h2>\n

Every photographer has their own unique style when it comes to shooting and editing photos. You want to make sure that their style is the same as what you are after. There are a few ways that you can research this. Firstly, check out their Instagram and Website. Secondly, reach out to them and ask if you can see more of their portfolio. Most photographers only share snippets of their work on Instagram, and it’s usually very curated as it is likely reflecting their own brand style (we like to have aesthetic Instagram feeds too!)<\/p>\n

So, if you are after a style that you don’t see on their Instagram, they may have an example in their archive of work – you need to ask. And the right photographer will be able to quickly and easily communicate if they can achieve the look that you are going for.<\/p>\n

For example, my Instagram feed is quite bright and light, but I have worked with more earthy brands to create moodier product images – I don’t share those on my feed.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
