Is there a photographer you would like to work with but they are too far away from where you are? You might have heard of remote product photoshoots but you’re not sure if it’s a good idea?
Having high-quality product photographs is essential for any business. Whether you are selling products on an e-commerce platform or putting together marketing materials to launch your new collection, your photos need to look professional and appealing to potential customers. In today’s globalised world, many comercial photographers offer remote photography services and work with clients nationally and internationally. They use the internet to communicate with clients in a wider geographic area and postal services to receive the products for the photoshoots. So why would a business owner outsource photography from a photographer who is based hundreds or even thousands of kilometers (or miles, depending on where you are reading this) away?
One of the biggest advantages of working with a product photographer remotely is that location is irrelevant. With remote photography, you can work with the right photographer, no matter where they are located. This means that you have access to a much wider pool of talent, allowing you to find the perfect photographer for your needs.
As a small business owner your time is precious. On shoot day, you can carry on with your busy schedule. Spend your time running your business, helping your child do their homework or even relaxing at the spa with your BFF. The photographer will shoot your products as planned with or without you. There is no need to hang around the studio when you could be ticking things off your to-do list.
You don’t need to worry about transportation costs, lodging, or meals. Instead, you can use your budget to invest in high-quality photographs that will help your business grow. This way you can also avoid the stress and hassle of traveling, allowing you to stay focused and productive. Yes please!
Thanks to the internet and technology, many photographers are able to share what’s going on in the studio with their clients in real time. So if you’d still like to keep an eye on the photoshoot or ask any last minute questions you can. Best part is you don’t even have to get up from your desk chair (or sun bed 😉).
If you are a little worried about working with a product photographer remotely, message them and ask how their remote service works. Remember, the key to a successful remote product photoshoot is communication. Make sure you chat extensively with your photographer about the photoshoot to make sure you both know every detail of photoshoot plan. Finally, trust the photographer’s expertise and enjoy that sun bed while you wait for the photos to be ready.
