Quick Hook: Why Amazon Produktfotos matter

Did you know better images can dramatically increase conversion rates? Good photos build trust and reduce returns. When we aim for crisp, clean, and accurate Amazon Produktfotos, buyers get the confidence they need to click “Buy now.” So, what should you prepare?

Pre-Shoot Checklist

Select final SKUs and variants — Don’t bring every sample. Pick the exact units you intend to sell, including colorways and sizes.
Clean and prep products — Dust, fingerprints, and loose threads show on camera. Clean each item and polish reflective surfaces.
Provide props and accessories — If your product needs styling (e.g., fabric, food props), gather them. Keep props simple and relevant.
Pack spare items — Bring backups for fragile goods or multiple samples for different angles.
Branding belongings — Logo documents, fonts, color codes, and any obligatory packaging shots. Share your Amazon list requirements with the photographer.
Shot list — Create a prioritized shot listing: hero photo, lifestyle pix, near-ups, infographics, and packaging. We’ll use this to tune progress on the shoot day.

Cost Expectations

How much will it cost? Prices vary by region and photographer experience. Expect a primary product shoot to start at around €one hundred–€300 in line with products for seasoned studios in Europe, while bulk programs frequently lessen the unit price. Lifestyle shoots, model costs, region leases, and retouching upload to the bill. Ask photographers for a transparent quote that lists capturing time, retouching prices, and licensing for Amazon utilization. Want to save? Bundle a couple of SKUs into one consultation or ask for a bulk bundle.

Shipping & Handling Tips

Insure valuable items for transit and mark packages “fragile.”
Include clear labeling with SKU, shot list, and get in touch with data within the box.
Use shielding packing (bubble wrap, foam) and avoid loose additives that may wander off.
Confirm delivery window with the studio and upload buffer days for customs if transport the world over.
Return or disposal instructions: tell the studio whether gadgets must be returned, recycled, or disposed of after the shoot.

On the Day: Communication & Efficiency

Arrive (or call in) with a printed shot list and priority order. I always suggest starting with the hero/primary images first — if time runs short, the most important assets are done. Keep decisions quick, check proofs on a calibrated monitor, and mark edits clearly.

Final Touches — Post-Shoot

We’ll review proofs, request retouches, and ensure images meet Amazon’s technical requirements (background, dimensions, and file type). Send final images to your listing and monitor performance — small changes in images often improve click-through and conversions.
