A lot of people are blissfully unaware of the challenges of product photography. Many things that look real, tend to not be. From glue being used as cheese on pizzas and burgers, to a pair of cheeks being used for jewellery. 😂

It’s important to hire a team with years of experience and expertise as it’s only experience that makes product photography truly special.
