Factors to Consider For Your Photo Shoot 

As with any other marketing effort, you’ll want your photoshoot to be guided and shaped based on the primary goals, mission, and values of your brand.  Before choosing a time, location, and photographer, think about what this photoshoot is meant to accomplish and which of your brand’s goals it is supposed to help you achieve.  

Once you have crafted that overarching, big-picture goal for the photoshoot, use it to guide your decisions on some of the more concrete factors.  Some key factors to consider when planning and scheduling a photoshoot: 

• Design of the background and backdrops.  Will you have multiple different backdrops?  What colors would you like them to be? Do you want natural background or will you be creating something specifically for the shoot? 
• Lighting.  Ensure the lighting in your location is sufficient, or that you have the tools and equipment to supplement it.  Do you want the lighting to have any special kind of effect?  Would you like it to be bright or darker? Natural or artificial?
• Your target audience.  Make sure your content not only aligns with your brand and your goals, but also with the types of content your audience would like to see.  Does it pertain to their interests?  Does it align with the types of content they are consuming most often on social media? Basically, would they enjoy this content whether it was associated with your brand or not?

What Types of Content to Capture 

No brand’s content creation budget is infinite.  Thus, when it comes time for a photoshoot, you want to make the most of your time and resources by capturing the widest variety of content that you can all at once. Many of the details will depend on your specific brand and offerings, but there are some general guidelines that can help any small business come up with the best shot list possible.  

First and foremost, you will want to use the factors discussed above to guide your creative decisions.  Decisions like lighting and backdrops will affect the types of photos you want to focus on.  Make sure the photos you want and your creative decisions are all in alignment.  For example, if your target audience is nature enthusiasts, and your photoshoot is meant to show off your offerings with the natural beauty of sunset from a mountaintop, you probably won’t be capturing too many close-up shots of the products themselves.  Make sure all your decisions together work for your brand.  

With that in mind, here are a few key types and categories of content that almost any brand will find extremely useful to their marketing efforts:  

• Individual product photos. They may not always be the most exciting or creative, but images of each of your product offerings can come in handy time and time again. Don’t neglect this staple for the sake of capturing more interesting and unique photos.  
• Lifestyle photos and videos.  If possible, you’ll want at least one model or willing volunteer to capture content of your offerings actually being used.  These serve to breathe life into the product and make it more tangible to viewers and potential customers. 
• Photos with a combination of your products. Any of your offerings that are complementary, can be used together, or go hand-in-hand in some way should be captured together as well. This can give viewers a more well-rounded and complete picture of how your products could benefit them.
• Variety!  No matter what types of images or content you’re focusing on most, make sure you capture as much variety as possible.  This means you should capture as many different products as possible, the same product(s) from many different angles, the same product(s) in a bunch of different setups, a combination of still images and videos, and more.  The more wide and varied your content is, the larger portion of your digital marketing efforts it can be used for.
