Product photography is the single most important element of any e-commerce listing. Customers cannot touch, hold, or try your product. Photos are everything.

DIY Photography
For small products, a lightbox, smartphone, and natural light can produce good results. Cost: under 50 pounds for a basic setup. Good for: testing new products, low-volume items, quick updates.
Professional Photography
For hero products and lifestyle images, professional photography pays for itself in higher conversion rates. A professional shoot for a single product typically costs 100 to 300 pounds.
Infographic Images
Infographic images (product photos with text overlays highlighting features) are increasingly important. They communicate key selling points without the customer needing to read.
