WHAT DOES PEARL RESOURCING DO RIGHT IN THEIR PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY?
1. Utilize bright lighting - Removing shadows and using a clean warm light will brighten your product and make it look inviting! Color and light creates emotion. We will strategize for the best lighting that will match your brand guide and intended application for the best results.
​
2. Minimize clutter - With a clean white background for product or packaging photos we increase the chance a customer will focus and like your product. The human eye gets distracted and overwhelmed if to many things are happening in an image and they will quickly look for other things that they like better if this is the case. For product and lifestyle photos we at Pearl Resourcing seek minimalism because this statistically works better to attract clicks and likes!
​
3. Layered focus - It's important to focus on the correct elements of a photo. Sometimes complex image that have a lot of texture require layering two images with different focal points to get the optimal image. This requires an experienced photographer knowledgeable of both photoshop and staging. Pearl Resourcing photographers perfect details shots with layered focus images to strategically capture the best shot of your products.
​
4. Mathematical angles and placement - Our human eyes subconsciously find certain angles, ratios, and contrasts attractive. An excellent photographer will know and utilize these principles to accomplish beautiful photos that attract customers. Pearl Resourcing photographers utilize these natural visual laws to create the best photos to promote your product.
​
5. Premium equipment - Our professional photographers use the latest in professional lighting, SLR cameras, and lenses inside of our photographers dedicated studio to create the best results.
TROUBLESHOOTING COMMON FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY ISSUES
Frustrated by how your food photos are turning out? Assess your current photos by reviewing these common "DIY product photo issues" and read on for potential solutions:
1. Your photos are blurry. Blurry photos are caused by camera shake. Solutions include: 1) hold your camera steadier (easier said than done), 2) use a tripod with a remote so your camera stays completely still while you're shooting, 3) use a faster shutter speed, which will require opening up your aperture and/or moving to an area with more light, or 4) raise your ISO to decrease the amount of light needed (this will reduce image quality, however).
2. Your colors aren't true to life. When you're editing your photos, if your plate of food looks very blue, yellow, pink or green, use your software's white balance tools to fix it! Colors come alive when the white balance is set properly. If you shoot in RAW format, you'll have an easier time adjusting color balance later.
3. Your photos just don't "pop" like professional food photos. Experienced food photographers use lenses that allow them to narrow their depth of field to highlight the subject of the photo. Then they use photography software to tweak the contrast, levels and sharpness of their photos. Sometimes a few little edits can really make a photo pop.
