Product Photography Tips
Lighting
Use Even Lighting
Avoid harsh shadows and uneven lighting. Soft, diffused light works best for product photography.
Avoid Mixed Light Sources
Stick to one light source type (daylight or artificial) to maintain consistent color temperature.
Eliminate Reflections
For glossy products, use a light tent or diffuser to minimize unwanted reflections.
Composition
- Center your product - Place the main subject in the center of the frame
- Leave adequate margins - Provide space around the product (at least 10% on each side)
- Shoot at eye level - For most products, shooting at product level gives the most natural perspective
- Use a tripod - Ensures consistent framing and sharp images
Background Removal Preparation
For best results with ecomStage background removal:
Images with complex backgrounds or products that blend into the background may require manual touch-up.
Ideal Conditions
- High contrast between product and background
- Clear product edges - Avoid blur or motion
- Solid background - Plain white or green screen works best
- No overlapping elements - Keep the product isolated
Challenging Scenarios
| Scenario | Difficulty | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Transparent products | High | Use a colored background for better edge detection |
| Furry/hairy products | High | Ensure good lighting to capture fine details |
| Reflective products | Medium | Minimize reflections before shooting |
| Complex shapes | Medium | Multiple angles may be needed |
Image Optimization
Before Upload

Common Mistakes to Avoid
These common mistakes can significantly reduce the quality of AI-generated results.
- Low resolution images - Always use the highest resolution available
- Heavy compression artifacts - Avoid over-compressed JPEGs
- Blurry or out-of-focus images - Ensure sharp focus on the product
- Incorrect color profiles - Always use sRGB for web
- Cropped product edges - Ensure the full product is visible
- Strong shadows - Minimize or eliminate harsh shadows
Batch Processing Tips
When preparing multiple images:
- Maintain consistency - Use the same lighting setup and settings
- Create templates - Use consistent framing and positioning
- Organize by category - Group similar products together
- Document your settings - Record camera settings for reproducibility
