How to Shoot Product Photos with Your Phone

You do not need a studio to get usable product photos. Soft light, a steady angle and a clean background do most of the work. Once you have one good original, AI can change the background and styling afterwards.

Make product photos

Light

• Indirect window light is the easiest setup; direct sun makes hard shadows.
• Turn off the flash to avoid glare and hot spots.
• Use a white foam board on the opposite side as a reflector to soften shadows.

Angle and framing

• Use the 1x lens from slightly above product height (wide lenses distort shape).
• Fit the whole product in frame with a small margin.
• Shoot front, 45°, side and detail (label, texture) under the same light.

Background

• Curve white paper or foam board from the wall down to the table for a seamless sweep.
• Glass and metal reflect their surroundings, so clear the area around them.
• Marketplace image rules (Coupang, Naver Smart Store): image guide.

Swap the background with AI

• Sadana Product Photo keeps the product shape, logo and label and changes the background and lighting. Each run makes 6 scenes: clean white, marble, lifestyle, nature, color studio and seasonal.
• Very small text can occasionally blur, so check before you publish.
• Only need the background removed? Try the free background remover.
