Product photography on Amazon has required the product’s background to be pure white with a hex number of 255, 255, 255. This is still standard, but Amazon has broadened product images to include lifestyle photos and staging shots. These allow the seller to show their product in a setting it will be used (staging image) or a person interacting with the product (lifestyle image).
Our client needed his very small hidden camera in a staging setting, where from a distance it is unlikely to be easily seen and in multiple settings to show its diversity. In addition to stating the measurements in his product details he wanted a visual reference to show the size of his camera. For this purpose, he chose a silver dollar (top image).
The product and interior staging shots photos were shot using a Canon 100mm 2.8 macro lens with continuous fluorescent lighting. The exterior auto staged photo was shot with natural light, angling the car for optimum use of sunlight.
