Professional White Background Photography London

General Questions

What is white background photography? White background photography (also called packshot photography) features products photographed against a pure white background (RGB 255, 255, 255). This creates clean, professional images that meet e-commerce marketplace requirements and focus attention entirely on your product.

Why do I need white background photography for e-commerce? Most major marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Etsy) require main product images to have white backgrounds. White background photography also increases conversion rates by providing clear, professional presentation that builds buyer trust and reduces returns.

What's the difference between white background photography and lifestyle photography? White background photography shows only the product against a pure white backdrop—ideal for main product listings. Lifestyle photography shows products in real-world settings—great for additional listing images and social media. We offer both services.
