White Background Photos An Essential Element of
E-Commerce

• Why does the background of my product photographs
  have to be white? Heres why
• Highlights the product
• The use of white colour in the background of
  product photographs serves two purposes. First,
  it does not attract viewers attention. Secondly,
  at the same time, it makes the product appear as
  the point/object of focus.
• Common standard
• E-commerce juggernauts of the likes of Amazon,
  Google, etc. mandate sellers to have only light
  (especially white) coloured backgrounds in their
  product photos.
• Edit easily
• The use of many popular photo editing effects
  becomes extremely simple when the photograph
  being edited sports a white background. For
  instance, the lasso tool works pretty flawlessly
  with a white background.

Dos for the perfect white background photograph

• Heres what youd need to do to enhance your
  white background product photography skills.
• Set up the equipment properly Place a spotless
  and sparkling white background (a white cloth or
  a white paper or cardstock) behind your product.
  Clamp the lights on to a decent spot. To ensure
  an adequate amount of lighting, try using three
  lamps, each placed on the right, left, and top of
  the product.
• Configure camera settings To have that perfect
  shot, youd need to tinker around a little with
  the settings of your camera. Try setting the ISO,
  white balance, aperture, and shutter speed.
• Persevere The key to clicking great white
  background product photos is to practise clicking
  more and more. The initial few clicks might leave
  you confused but in a matter of a few more
  clicks, you will surely find that perfect
  combination (of equipment, lighting, etc.) and
  camera configuration.

Donts to be kept in mind

• Here are a few things you should avoid while
  clicking white background photos
• Low or poor lighting Try to strike a good balance
  between the lighting of the subject and that of
  its background. Underlighting or overlighting of
  either the subject or the background can leave
  you with a photograph where either the product is
  in shadow or the background becomes the centre of
  attraction.
• Floating object If absolutely no shadow(s) of
  your product(s) is formed on the floor of the
  shooting surface, it may appear as if your object
  is floating mid-air. To avoid this, try to have a
  shadow or reflection of your product on the white
  base of your shooting area.
