Start with a clear product photo, then change one thing at a time. These three directions work for a game case, a bottle, or your next handmade product.

01 / THE CLEAR VIEW

Let the product speak.

Choose Clean white and Square for a simple catalog image. Keep all edges visible and check labels, texture, and condition.
