Learn how product photography can impact your e-commerce brands conversion rates, return rates, customer trust, and brand consistency.

Product photography plays a pivotal role in shaping the perception of ecommerce brands, as it directly influences consumers' purchasing decisions. High-quality and visually appealing product images not only showcase items in their best light but also build trust, increase conversion rates, and enhance the overall shopping experience, ultimately contributing to a brand's success in the competitive online marketplace.

Why Invest in Ecommerce Product Photography for Your Brand?

When it comes to ecommerce, first impressions matter. The photos you use on your Amazon store, Shopify site, or product pages are often the very first interaction a customer has with your brand. That means your product photography is not just about showing your product, it is about building trust, creating confidence, and driving sales.

Recently, we had the opportunity to work with a brand in our Worcester, MA photography studio on their very first product photoshoot. The results were so dramatic that we wanted to share a before-and-after look at what professional product photography can do for an ecommerce business.


Before and After Product photography for Amazon


The “Before”

The original photo of the socks showed the basic shape and style, but it did not highlight the unique features that make the product special. The imagery looked flat, lacked clarity, and did not create that polished, professional feel that customers expect when shopping online.

In a crowded Amazon marketplace, this type of image can easily blend in and fail to capture attention.


The “After”

With the new photoshoot, we focused on creating clean, on-white ecommerce photography optimized for Amazon. The result is crisp, high-quality imagery that highlights the product’s most important features:

  • A super cute embroidered flower design near the ankle

  • Extra-grippy detailing on the sole that prevents slipping


These details are now front and center, which helps potential buyers immediately see the value of the product. The updated product photography is not only more visually appealing, it also communicates function, style, and quality in a single glance.


Why Professional Product Photography Matters

Professional product photography does more than make your products look nice. It changes the way customers perceive your brand. High-quality ecommerce imagery helps:

  • Build trust with shoppers who may be seeing your brand for the first time

  • Increase “add-to-cart” confidence by clearly showing product details

  • Differentiate your product from competitors on Amazon or other ecommerce platforms

  • Create a consistent, professional brand image across your website and marketing channels

In this case, the brand’s new Amazon product photography is a huge improvement over their old imagery, and the difference is already visible on their live product pages.
