Strong, clear and double sided tape is the best kind. It’ll help you keep your products in place.

2. fishing lineFishing line works wonders if you’re shooting jewelry or other small

products that need a little help standing up right. You can always remove

it in post production. If you don’t have fishing line, use a thin white string

or some thread.eCommerce tips & tricks | www.pixc.com/blog


3. glue dots

Glue dots are a great addition to tape, particularly when you’re working

with small products. They’re almost invisible and hold pretty well.

If you’re shooting on a model or mannequin, clothes pins/pegs are an

easy way to improve the fit of the garment.

If you’re shooting clothing, have a bunch of hangers lying around to keep

your products in pristine condition.

Have a pair of small scissors lying around to help you cut any loose

threads - ripping them off may ruin the fabric. If you’re using fishing line,

small scissors will make cutting it a lot easier.

Your fabrics should be wrinkle-free and in great condition. Make sure

your clothes are properly ironed before you shoot, and in case of any last

minute wrinkling, keep an iron close by.

If you’re doing on-hanger

shots, you’ll need some hooks

to hang your items on.

Decorative hooks are nice, but

having some non-damaging

hooks allow you to shoot

anywhere without worry. They

can also make your shoot more

organized and will work great if

you have a small amount of

items and no clothes rack.

Safety pins are for the smaller adjustments that a clothespin is too bulky

for. They’re easily hidden and can be used to hold creases or folds in

place while you shoot.

10. clampsClamps are a great way to hold up your sweep or reflector. They’ll come in handy whenever tape and pegs aren’t strong enough.



Last but certainly not least,

make sure you have spare

batteries and chargers for any

and all electronic components

you may be using.
