A consistent product catalogue needs agreed views, framing and scale rules. Specify what each angle must show rather than asking for “a nice three-quarter shot”. The camera should explain the object and keep its identity readable.
Separate view direction from crop
A front view, three-quarter view and top detail answer different questions. For a hypothetical pump-bottle range, decide whether the nozzle direction and shoulder need to be visible. Then define how much surrounding space the layout needs. Cropping a finished image cannot reveal a hidden feature.
Choose a scale policy
Will images preserve physical relative size or use a consistent visual fill within each tile? Either choice needs care and accurate supporting information. Avoid making a small pack look like a large one through ambiguous grouped imagery. Record dimensions for range views.
Approve an awkward item early
Test the tallest, widest and smallest products before producing the full set. Keep camera and lighting references with the scene.
Studio perspective
The studio recommendation is a small approved view library that can be reused deliberately when new products arrive.

- Purpose per view
- Orientation and crop rules

Frequently asked questions
Is three-quarter always the best angle?
No. Choose the view that explains the product and fits the placement.
Can all products use identical framing?
Test the extremes; different proportions may need controlled exceptions.
Should camera settings be retained?
Yes, if future additions need a matching catalogue style.
