Your Product May Be Background Dressing in a Photography Shoot
Not every piece of media that features your product has to involve a call to action. On platforms like social media, taking more of a lifestyle photography approach to product photography makes for a gentler sell. This style of media is generally better received by consumers operating in a social space.
For example, if your product is food, you can take a beautiful close up of a menu item and assert how delicious it is. You can also dress a scene that focuses on two good friends connecting and sharing a great time together. Your food sits on plates between the friends, but the people in the photo are the subject. Both forms of photography are valid, but each sets a different tone.
The Platform You’re Using Dictates the Tone of Your Photography
This isn’t to say that a beauty shot of your product isn’t a useful form of photography. Your website should absolutely include photography that showcases your product. You should also consider the aesthetic and audience of each media platform that you use. The product photography on your website will look different than the content on a blog, or on Facebook, or Instagram, or on mailers. Taking a conscious approach to your product media will lead to a better ROI on marketing materials.
