FOTTO is here to support your businesses by creating impactful visuals to help you engage your potential customers better. But why should you choose FOTTO to do your homemade products' photography? Here's a few comparison to help you decide better!

1. Lighting

When shooting your products at home, unless you are equipped with professional lighting equipments, you'd have to rely on natural lighting and you are limited to shooting only during daytime. Shooting in a darker room with no windows would be troublesome, as it would make your photos look grainy and less sharp.

FOTTO's studio is equipped with industry grade lighting equipments perfect for product shoots, so you can be sure that all the details of your products would look sharp and nice, and we can shoot at any time of the day too!

2. Backgrounds

Shooting at home means you are limited to a few background alternatives such as your garden, a wall, or your kitchen. While it might look nice and natural in some photos, specific products require specific background colours too! With FOTTO, you can have a lot of different colours for your backgrounds, perfect to complement and enhance your products, making them stand out more in the photos.

Choosing the right props for your products is one of the key components in creating impactful visuals for your products. When shooting at home, your choice of props is limited to what you have at home, or you'd have to spend more to purchase new props just for the sake of your photos. In FOTTO, we have a lot of different props to choose from, perfect for ever theme and concept of your product photo shoots, to give your photos that extra-special look.

4. Retouch & Editting

This is the hardest part to do at home. Taking photos only is not enough. You'd have to enhance and edit the hundreds of photos you took to make them look professional and perfect. Sure, you can use a lot of filters in a lot of photography apps on your phone, but we still believe that traditional professional editing is the best. FOTTO's editors are experts in their field, making sure that your photos are edited and enhanced properly, and delivered to you in a record 3 business days time after the shoot!
