McAllen Product Photography Behind The Scenes

Pretty good photoshoot this Morning. We knocked out several items and now it’s time to get them cut out and prepped for online sales.  Online retailers have really changed the what the world buys things and their demands on the clients listing items onto them can often be a bit crazy but we have to keep up with the times.

Just an observation but when I started doing this for a Harlingen company about 20 years ago we didn’t have the equipment nor the sophistication that we have now.  Don’t get me wrong, better equipment often leads to better photos but it’s always been about trying to get the best quality photos you can to your client.  I started off with a Sony Mavica (not sure if you remember those floppy disks but they were a pain) and it was a clunker of a machine.

Now in 2020 we’re still knocking out commercial photos but everything’s going onto Amazon and several other retailers so the bar has been set so much higher.  For everything we shoot we actually cut them out and get them back to the customer on a solid white background.  This eliminates all the color shifts in the background and makes all the products look even on their websites.  Who knows what the future will bring but you do have to be on your toes.
