Product Photography for Bangladesh Ecommerce — Budget Tips
Bad product photos lose sales. Good product photos close sales. You do not need a professional studio — a smartphone and good light are enough to start. Here is how.
Lighting Is Everything
Stand near a large window during the day. Natural daylight is the best light. Face the product toward the window. Avoid flash — it creates harsh shadows and makes products look cheap. If shooting at night, use two white LED lights at 45-degree angles to the product.
Use a White or Plain Background
A white background makes your product look clean and professional — the same style used by Daraz and Amazon. Use a large white poster board from any stationery shop (costs ৳50–100). Tape it to a wall and curve it onto a table.
Shoot Multiple Angles
- Front view (hero shot)
- Side view
- Back view (show labels, ingredients)
- Close-up of important details
- Lifestyle shot — product being used
Smartphone Settings
- Use portrait mode for single products
- Turn on gridlines and keep the product centered
- Clean your lens before shooting
- Use a mini tripod (costs ৳500–800 on Daraz) to avoid blur
Free Editing Apps
- Snapseed — best free photo editor for smartphones
- Remove.bg — automatically removes background
- Canva — add product name and price overlay
How Many Photos Per Product?
Aim for 5–8 photos per product: 3 clean white-background shots, 1 lifestyle shot, 1 close-up detail, 1 size comparison. More photos = more trust = more sales.
