Taking Photos That Sell | With Just Your Phone
Light, angles and the 8 shots every local business page needs.
Use Window Light
Shoot near a window in the morning or late afternoon. Turn off overhead lights and the flash, they flatten colors and add harsh shadows.
The 8 Essential Shots
- Your storefront from across the street
- The entrance customers walk through
- The inside, wide, when it looks lively
- Your 3 best-selling products or dishes
- Your team at work
- A detail close-up that shows quality
- Your counter or checkout area
- A seasonal or limited item
Quick Tips
- Wipe your lens before every shot
- Hold the phone level and step back instead of zooming
- Shoot landscape for the main photo
- Refresh photos each season
