Better product photos with a phone

A phone, a window and a sheet of white paper are enough for good product photos, and AI can coach you on what to fix in each shot.

01 · The idea

Buyers decide from the photo before they read a word. Most weak shop photos have the same few problems: dim light, a messy background, the product too small in the frame, or colors that look wrong.

Start simple. Put the product on a table next to a window in the daytime, with a sheet of white paper or a plain cloth behind it. Wipe the phone lens and tap the screen to focus on the product.

Then use a chatbot that can see images. Upload a photo and ask what to change: the angle, the light, the crop. It is a patient coach that gives quick, specific feedback.

AI editing tools can remove a background or brighten a shot. Use them to clean up, never to change the product itself. If the bag looks bigger or the color brighter than in real life, you will get returns and angry reviews.
