1. What the lifestyle product photography is in regard to e-commerce, let’s say Amazon listing.
“The one that shows the product in context” would be a common answer. Another version of this – “the one that shows your potential customer using your product.”
Both of these statements explain the concept of lifestyle photography pretty well, but they don’t explain the main thing.
In your Amazon listing the lifestyle images will go together with white background product photos. These product images are responsible for showing and explaining your product to your potential buyers in all the details – they give the rational motives to purchase your product.
What are the lifestyle photos responsible for then? The idea of using lifestyles is to create some mood and atmosphere that your customer would associate the product with – they give emotional motives to purchase your product. For some products, especially with female target audience emotions can be even more important than product facts.
2. Types of lifestyle product images for Amazon listing with examples by WindySoul.
Creative lifestyle product images without models.
Sometimes those can be called still-lives or flat-lays. The name doesn’t matter much, these images show the products in context through emotionally colored photography.
Creative shots in interior or outdoors with models.
Those are the pride and glory of WindySoul. Most e-commerce photo projects we work on feature the images with models.
Combination of lifestyle images and infographics in one photo.
Sometimes you would like to draw your audience’s attention to some specific feature or some competitive edge of your product with some text overlays or icons using the lifestyle photo as the basis.
3. What is important in lifestyle product photography for e-commerce?
Concept
The first thing to do is to understand what makes your product unique and special. It is also important to analyze what people are going to buy it and what your competitors are doing with their lifestyle images. Based on this analysis we make a lifestyle concept that is meant to be emotional, memorable and not to follow your competitors paths – the idea is always to stand out and make some new impact with lifestyle images.
Model
A model is extremely important. As we say “a great model is half the battle.” If he or she evokes the positive feeling, memorable and makes your heart vibrate faster, but still looking like a girl or guy who lives next door – you are on the right path for a great lifestyle photoshoot.
Makeup, Hair and Wardrobe for a Model.
A model is important, but it is only the start of the journey. Makeup, hair, clothing – all of these are extremely vital to create the right emotional impact. You need a pretty big team for a professional lifestyle photo shoot and these people should clearly understand what the output of their mutual work should be.
Location
Location is another important thing. Sometimes up to 30% of a project budget goes to getting the location we need. We always give our clients a great choice of locations no matter if those are kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, parks, garages, houses, playgrounds, etc.
Props.
No lifestyle shoot is possible without creating the right scene. Location is extremely important, but the right selection of props to make the scene true to life are also vital. Oftentimes a prop stylist or interior decorator is working with us to ensure the best possible output.
Pricing
The prices for lifestyle product photography start at $1000. All projects are unique and require different locations, props, models, etc – all of these together with producing, photography and retouching make up the final proposal.
