Plan a product photography shoot in Marrakech with practical guidance on styling, lighting, e-commerce images and brand storytelling.
Why product photography matters
A product image has two jobs: communicate the details a buyer needs and express the character of the brand. A consistent visual language across a website, catalogue and campaign helps customers understand scale, texture and finish before they make contact.
Start with the intended use
Before the shoot, separate the shot list into clean catalogue images, editorial lifestyle images and close-up details. E-commerce platforms may require a simple background and repeatable framing, while an advertising campaign benefits from directional light, composition and room for typography.
Build a practical shot list
For each hero product, plan a front or three-quarter view, a side view, a detail of the material, a scale reference and at least one image in context. Check labels, packaging and surface condition before shooting. Group products by lighting setup to save time without sacrificing consistency.
Lighting, styling and colour
Reflective packaging, transparent glass and textured fabric need different lighting strategies. Soft light can reveal form without harsh reflections; controlled highlights can define premium finishes. Styling should support the product rather than compete with it. Keep colour references on set so the edited images remain faithful to the actual item.
Deliverables and production workflow
Agree on crop ratios, image dimensions, file formats and retouching level in advance. A useful delivery can include web-optimised JPEG or WebP files, high-resolution masters and crops for social media. Naming files by product or SKU makes the handover easier for marketing teams.
