## Why Product Photography Matters More Than PriceSmartphone (iPhone or Samsung S/A series) White foam board (₹100 from stationery store) × 2 Natural light (near a window) OR ring light (₹600 on Amazon) Sweep (roll of white chart paper or fabric)
Place white foam board flat as background Curve second board as sweep (background becomes seamless) Position near large window (north-facing = consistent, non-harsh light) Place product in center Shoot from directly above (flatlay) or eye level
Grid lines: On (for straight shots) HDR: Off for products (can distort colors) Resolution: Maximum available White balance: Lock to "Cloudy" or match your light source
Snapseed: Brightness, contrast, remove background Remove.bg: Instant white background Canva: Add size charts, multiple product views
Studies show product images are the #1 purchase driver for online shoppers — even above price. A ₹500 product with great photos outsells a ₹450 product with poor photos every time.
