Styled Flatlays
Flatlay product photography is the trendiest type of social media, which is taken from a birds eye view. It creates a story around the product, that helps represent it. The storytelling is achieved by carefully considering the props within the frame and how they are carefully laid out.
The photo should be dynamic, with colorful or similar colored items that are commonly used with the product you’re shooting. Attention to the color palette is important, as your aim is to not distract away from the product of importance but instead create a well-coordinated image with a visual punch.

At In Spades, we have quite the assortment of props and are continually investing in more. However, we also encourage our clients to provide props and trinkets that resonate with their product and brand as well.
Lifestyle Product Photography
The goal of lifestyle product photography is to show your product within a styled scene, with/without models, to demonstrate the main purpose of this product and how a potential customer can use it.
A significant element of lifestyle product photography is the human emotions it will evoke. Since people tend to make choices based on their emotional reactions, you need to impact the part of the brain responsible for emotions whenever you are taking lifestyle product shots.
Tell a Story with action Shots!!
What makes lifestyle product photography different from the traditional approach, is how relatable and interactive it is. When you see a product in its natural context, it creates more convincing results than seeing it against a plain white background.
