Get tools, tips and techniques to improve your product photos

Our Etsy shops and Instagram feeds have to represent our handmade products in the best way possible. When someone comes across your feed or Etsy page, it’s similar to a real-life scenario of them walking into your shop as if it was a physical one. They instantly assess the value of your products by their first impressions of the shop.
Our product photos are one of the most important ways we can showcase our products in the online world. So, it is no surprise that they have to be of the highest quality to compete and really wow a customer during their first impressions.
Thankfully, taking product photos doesn’t have to be a tedious task, and you don’t require top-of-the-line equipment to take amazing images that serve a purpose. All you need is your phone and a little creativity. Follow this guide to learn how to take and edit photos for Etsy and Instagram simultaneously and effortlessly.
