What is the job of a professional photographer and why is he qualified for your product shootings and packshots?

The daily life of a professional photographer is to take pictures on location or in a studio or a photo agency, to retouch images, to organize photo sessions or reports, as well as to make technical adjustments (light, photo framing, speed of the shot), all in a professional and qualitative way. They are often specialized in a field such as gastronomy, portrait, wedding, family, event, sports, fashion or product advertising.

Why is a quality photo shoot essential to the advertising and sale of your products?

The image, in the broadest sense of the term, provide a strong emotional feeling and allows to pass a corporate message and to value products in an impactful way. Thus for a company or a communication agency, photography has the power to highlight its specificities and values in a concrete and striking way thanks to a careful work. This is extremely important for its future customers. Because today, photographs, and especially packshots in the case of marketing and communication, are essential, both on social networks, flyers or websites.
It is certainly tempting today for companies and clients to do without professional photographers for their photo shoots or packshots because cell phones allow to take quality pictures at any time. However, there are so many details to pay attention to when taking photos: are the lighting and the light optimal, is the photo sharp, is the image of good enough quality? Does the photo show the seriousness and professionalism that the company demonstrates on a daily basis? Is the visual communication adapted to my target audience? Is the product highlighted enough? These are details that you need to know and that cannot be improvised.
Moreover, in a context of digital expansion, it is important for a company to control its e-reputation and its image on the Internet by having a visual communication in perfect harmony with its communication strategy. It is the winning key to gain the trust of prospects and customers. It is therefore essential that all your content and photos keep a common thread of style and appearance, no matter where they are shared.
This is why it is preferable for a company or an agency to be accompanied by the services of a professional for the realization of photo packshots.
