Backgrounds in Photos
Ever wonder why products in catalogs are always shown without backgrounds? Even majority of clothing models are typically shown on plain white.
Without distracting elements hovering behind the product, a customer is free to see the product itself. Your customers’ eyes will instantly be drawn straight to the product — exactly where you want it to go. The product looks cleaner, especially without the distracting noise of the background. Also, depending on the product, a subtle drop shadow may add more depth to a product picture.
If you take the additional time to set up a product shot, it really pays off in the end. Not only will it need less work done in photoshop, but it will give your website a complete and professional look.
