Good product images cost money - bad ones cost revenue. But is a professional studio worth it, or will a smartphone do? An honest comparison.
Shooting it yourself: when that is enough
For first tests, internal use or a very small budget, a phone photo can be enough. With good daylight and a white background you can get usable results - but rarely at the level that is competitive on Amazon or in a shop.
Where the studio makes the difference
- Light and consistency: even, professional lighting across the whole series.
- Cut-outs and compliance: clean cut-outs to the Amazon image guidelines.
- Conversion: better images mean a higher click and purchase rate.
- Time: a plannable production instead of hours of trial and error.
What does it cost?
Simple cut-outs start at roughly 20 EUR per image. More detail in our article What does product photography cost?. The studio often pays for itself through a slightly higher conversion alone.
