The evolution of an Image

[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text]

The selection of a good image shouldn’t be an onerous task, but there are some straightforward things that you should add to your process when you’re taking pictures for your shop/page or just your brand media.

[featured_box img=”29258″ pos=”left” title=”Turn the bloody lights on”] As the images below demonstrate, turning a light on can dramatically improve the quality of an image. [/featured_box] [gap] [featured_box img=”29261″ inline_svg=”0″ pos=”left” title=”Tidy up”] After you’ve taken your image, have a look at it and see if anything else attracts your attention and if it attracts your eye maybe you should retake the image with any distractions removed.

One Final Thought

It may be a good idea to enlist the help of a harsh critic who won’t just tell you what they think you want to hear, especially if you’re selling physical products if you look at the three images above I had taken the image to do a post about how strong Skull Crusher Coffee was but if my post was trying to sell mugs the image of a dirty mug would not be a smart move. I’ve added a link below which will take you to an Amazon list I created with some bits of equipment that will help you improve your images.
