ANGLES AND COMPOSITION IN PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY
In the digital world, where thousands of advertising images pass users' eyes every day, a beautiful product photo is the first and strongest "representative" of your brand. Not just light or color, but the shooting angle and composition are the factors that determine the professionalism and visual appeal of the image. This is no longer a story of "beautiful" or "ugly," but "stop to look" or "pass by without regret."
Shooting angle - Create depth, evoke emotions
Every product has its “best angle,” and finding the right angle is not just a technique, but also a visual storytelling art.
A 45-degree angle helps create depth and show off multiple sides of the product, ideal for drinks, cosmetics, and accessories.
Eye-level shots bring a sense of trust and transparency, suitable for products that need to convey simplicity and neatness.
Flat lay (top-down shots) are often used in the fashion, food, and lifestyle industries, creating uniformity and harmony.
Choosing the right angle will help viewers easily feel the material, style and emotion that the brand wants to convey.

Composition – Makes the eye unable to look away
A compelling photo makes the viewer “want to look a little further”. That is the power of composition – the art of arranging visual elements to guide the eye and emphasize the important point.
Rule of Thirds: Divide the frame into 9 equal parts, placing the product at the intersections to create balance and naturalness.
Center composition: Highlight the product directly, ideal for products that need to create a strong impression.
Leading lines: Use diagonal lines, curves in the photo to lead the viewer's eye to the main product.
Negative space: Helps the photo "breathe" and the product stand out more in a minimalist space.
