Photographing craft products should show texture, details, and process—something that cannot be conveyed in text.
For a craft brand, quality visual content is not just about pretty photos. Through photos and videos, the buyer evaluates the quality, details, packaging, and brand atmosphere.
Preparing for shooting
Start with the task.
Determine where the content will be used:
- website
- advertising
- marketplaces
- Stories
- Reels
- printed matter
One shoot should create material for several channels at once.
Moodboard
Before shooting, determine the style: colors, textures, light, composition, and atmosphere.
The style must match the brand positioning.
What to shoot
What kind of footage is needed?
Required:
- catalog photos
- close-ups
- lifestyle
- production process
- team
- packaging
- product in human hands
- product use
Video
Don't limit yourself to photos. Shoot short vertical clips for Reels, Stories, and ads.
Light
Soft natural or studio light helps to show the product in a high-quality way. You need to be especially careful when working with shiny and glossy surfaces.
Plan a shoot for marketing
Plan in advance the shots for the website, social media, and advertising. Some of the compositions should be made with free space for advertising text.
