Staging a fabulous product photo

The importance of good product photography cannot be overstated. The last few years have brought many social media platform algorithm changes. There have also been many changes on platforms where many artisans sell, resulting in a new wave of artisans seeking to build out their own websites. Great product photography helps you stand out on both social media as well as on your own website. While there are services that will take photos for you, many artisans aren’t comfortable with the level of investment required in order to do this.
