Product Photography for Umico

2. White Products on White Background (Problem & Solution)

Problem: White products can “disappear” against a white background.
Solutions:

• Rim / edge light: Add subtle side or backlighting to separate the product outline.
• Soft shadows: Use very light, natural shadows to add depth.
• Slight off-white background: Use 252/252/252 for shooting, then finalize at 255/255/255 for Umico.
• Proper exposure + gray card: Ensure detail preservation in whites.
• Shoot RAW: Capture wide tonal range for easier post-processing.

3. Why 1×1 (Square) Format?

• Umico and most e-commerce platforms display square images best.
• Recommendation: main image 1×1 (2000×2000 px); additional angles can be 4:3 or 16:9.
• Zoom support: High resolution ensures buyers can see details clearly.

4. How Many Angles Are Recommended?

6–8 images per product are ideal:

1. Main (1×1, white background)
2. Front view
3. Back view / label
4. Side view
5. Detail / macro shot
6. In-use / lifestyle context
7. Packaging / bundle
8. Scale reference (with hand or object)

This package boosts buyer confidence and conversion rates on Umico.

5. How High-Quality Photos Drive Sales

• Trust & security: Clear visuals reduce perceived risk.
• Information clarity: Labels, textures, and details minimize customer questions and returns.
• Emotional appeal: Good composition and lighting make products more desirable.
• Brand perception: Consistent professional images build brand loyalty.

Studies show professional images can increase conversion by 20–60%, depending on category.

6. The Importance of Realistic Appearance

• Realistic appearance means online photos match in-store reality.
• Why it matters: Mismatches lead to returns and negative reviews.
• Solution: Accurate color, texture, and size representation with in-hand or contextual shots.

7. Cutout Background vs True White Background

• Cutout (digitally removed background): quick, but often unnatural with halos and missing shadows.
• True white photography:
  • Natural, with correct lighting and reflections.
  • Preserves depth and contour.
  • Provides more editing flexibility.

Our service: studio-shot images with true white background (255,255,255) — no harsh cutouts, ensuring natural and sales-friendly results.
