Common Photography Mistakes That Kill Sales

1. Blurry or low-resolution images — Always shoot at maximum resolution
2. Wrong background color — Main image MUST be pure white
3. Product too small in frame — Zoom in, product should fill 85%+
4. No lifestyle images — Buyers need to visualize the product in their life
5. Missing infographics — Text overlays on additional images boost understanding
6. Inconsistent style — All images should look cohesive and professional
