Commercial Product photography is a branch of commercial photography which is about accurately but attractively representing a product. The principal application of product photography is in advertising. Commercial photography involves taking pictures for commercial use: for example in adverts, merchandising, and product placement. Commercial photography is also used in corporate brochures and leaflets, menus in cafes and restaurants, and similar commercial uses where photographs enhance a text. Commercial photography is used to promote or sell a product or service. There are a number of ways that photographs can be used to better market products and corporations. For photographers who excel in commercial photography, it can be a very lucrative market, and the field of commercial photography is broad, with room for traditional and alternative photographs.

Below is a photoshoot for Borealis Bikes.

The Importance of Clipping Paths for Knockout Images?

A clipping path is a closed path or shape, used to “knockout” your product form the background. Anything inside the path will be included after the clipping path is applied; anything outside the path will be omitted from the output. All Widow Creek Product Images are delivered with Clipping Paths.
