Hero shot upgrade

What’s a hero shot?
Hero shots are key images that take the lead over other images in a series. If a product has several images (front, back, detail, etc.) the hero shot is going to be the image(s) you want your customer to see first. This is usually a direct or slightly angled front view.

Because hero shots have higher-visibility and play a more important role than other images in a series, they can benefit from extra attention in a few key areas.

Multiple-image composite

During photography, close attention is paid to how light reacts to the varying surface materials in your product. Then, if needed, we take multiple photographs of the product using slightly different lighting arrangements so we can deliver a composite image using the best elements from each raw photo.

Example: An exposed lipstick tube with a chrome body. Separate photos for both the body and the lipstick itself can be taken using ideal lighting for each, then combined later to create an improved image.

Challenging items, such as products with shiny surfaces, products with light-up displays & buttons, items with translucent components, or other difficult materials can benefit greatly from these extra steps.

Higher resolution

Hero shots are not limited to our standard resolution of 3000 x 3000 pixels. They receive the full raw-image resolution without any size reduction. This results in an image with up to 3x more resolution than our standard deliverables.

Additional image editing

Often, product prototypes and manufacturing samples contain minor defects not representative of the final product. Hero shots go beyond our standard editing by correcting larger manufacturing errors such as crooked labels, mold seams, misaligned surfaces, damaged box corners, and more.

Includes transparencies

Hero shots are cut-out from their backgrounds and delivered with transparencies. This allows hero shots to blend with backgrounds other than solid white. Grounding shadows or reflections are preserved and blend seamlessly with the background. Includes delivery in .png format for maximum compatibility.

Transparencies

Note: Large groups and very complex objects may require an additional charge.

Images that adapt to their background

When you order transparencies, we trim around the edges of the product to separate it from the standard white background. When saved in a transparent image format, such as .png, the image will adapt to the color of whatever background it’s placed.

Blended shadows

Note in the example shown here that the grounding shadow has not been removed and it also blends seamlessly with the background. Our special process allows shadows to be preserved in the transparency without any unnatural white haze. For images with a grounding reflection instead of a shadow, the result is the same.

PNG image format

For maximum compatability, our transparencies are delivered in .png format.

Hand modeling

Give your products a pulse

Great for showing products in use, demonstrating features, and providing a sense of scale, hand modeling can be added to any individual product photo.

Our studio staff and assistants will demonstrate your product while our photographers give direction. Your choice of male or female hands.

Need a specific nail color or style?

Hand modeling includes natural unpolished nails. If you would like a special manicure such as bright colors or French tips, let us know your preferences and we can make it happen for an additional fee.

Ghost mannequin

A fitted look, no model required

Using special techniques, apparel can be photographed styled on a mannequin which is then removed in post production creating a hollow appearance commonly called “ghost mannequin” or “hollow man.”

In order to achieve this look your garment is first photographed normally on an appropriate mannequin. Then, the parts of the garment that were obscured from view by the mannequin, such as the inner neck area, are photographed separately. Later in Photoshop, our team combines the two images in a way that makes your garment look like it is being worn by an invisible person or a ghost. It’s a great solution allowing for a fitted look without the need for a model.

When shipping garments we recommend sending medium sizes when possible.

Requests for products to be shot in a linear or grid-like fashion with white space in-between will be quoted as individual separate photos. In these cases each photo will be delivered to you separately and we will be happy to combine the separate photos into a group arrangement for you at no additional charge.

Examples of organic arrangements without additional charges can be found here, here, and here.
