Product photography during the holidays is not one size fits all. If you are looking for some inspiration, our ideas listed below are a good starting point. However, only you know your brand identity. Choose objects and concepts that are consistent with your brand. Do you like to display your product photos in a warm cabin environment? Or do you want a dazzling, gorgeous look? Natural pine needles and snow, or cheesy Christmas decorations? In order to get the most out of your photo shoot, please make these choices with your target audience in mind.

2. Make flat winter props

If your item is small enough to fit on the table, try lying down. Lie down is a shot looking down at the scene from above. This technique can be used to pack many interesting objects into a small space and create a complete atmosphere, or to include many products in a single scene.

Pro tip: For clothing or cosmetics, the tiling method is ideal. For example, if your company sells T-shirts, it is difficult to create dynamic and visually appealing product photos from folded T-shirts on a table. You can put a few pine cones or a cup of hot tea next to the table to make the scene more coherent.

What could be more festive than the raging fires during the holidays? If your product photography works well in indoor environments, try a fireplace scene. Don't stop here: provide a warm blanket and a good book next to your merchandise.

Pro tip: If you use a real fireplace, remember that the fire light will illuminate your scene. In order to eliminate unwanted strong shadows, please place a reflector or multiple lights in front of the product. If you want a serious shadow look, you can make a flashing and moving fire gif in the background.

Wrapped gifts have an exciting and eye-catching quality! Pack several empty boxes in a way that matches your product design. Consider how your product will be given as a gift: will it be wrapped in newspaper and twine? Is that a shiny silver bow? A charming foil bag?

5. Catch the steam in the cup 

In natural light, steam is easy to shoot, and can be very interesting to experiment. Boil some water in an electric kettle and pour it into a cup. You may need to empty it and try again a few times before you get the correct photo, but the result is a dark (and cheap!) photo effect.

Pro tip: Make your hot drinks more convincing by creating scenes around hot drinks or using hand models.

This is a great opportunity to use interior lighting that is too warm, and you would usually avoid this type of lighting when doing product photography on holidays. The enemy of the worst editing of photos is too much warmth in the image. However, if you want to enjoy the atmosphere of the candlelight cabin at night, you might as well embrace it! Try warm lighting (fairy lights, campfires, candles, etc.).

Pro tip: Since warm light sources can be erratic, you may need to use them to edit images. To produce warm honey tones in an image without being too dark, use presets in a photo editing application.

The gingerbread family kit is a time-tested technology that can inspire our childishness associated with holidays. To use as a background, make a gingerbread house. Then try to take a bite and take a photo with the partially demolished gingerbread house. This will allow you to make a cute GIF (your photographer will be rewarded).

Pro tip: This concept is best for products that contain food or are suitable for use in a kitchen or dining environment.

This background method is pleasant, simple and cheap. Choose several different colors of construction paper or poster paper. Make some paper cutouts and superimpose them on the background of the photo shoot. Create a mountain profile and a tree profile, for example, if you want a hilly landscape with some pine trees. Beautiful city silhouettes or small villages with children are also good choices.

Pro tip: Create smoke or steam between the layers to get an instant moody look, taking this concept one step further. It gives the impression of walking home at dusk after a snowball fight on Christmas Eve.

It is very simple to make artificial snow in various ways. You can get it online or from common household items; it all depends on the aesthetic you want to achieve! You can even use a photo editing program to add some extra snow in post-production!

Pro tip: If you want to use fake snow, make sure to include a prop that can create a warm impression. For holiday photo shoots, using only snow is a bit too cool. To resist the cold, you can wear a pair of warm gloves or a cup of hot chocolate.

Use beautiful crystal cocktail glasses (and fill them with some form of sparkling beverage for a realistic look) to take beautiful holiday photos that transition to the New Year.

Pro tip: Avoid putting your glasses on the table by yourself and light some candles. Use table runners instead. It is a piece of fabric used to cover a surface that may have some golden or silver glitter to complete the holiday effect.

Consider the following scenario: You have a product in front of a crackling warm fireplace. It just sits on the mantelpiece. Doesn't this make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? But what if someone holds it? It is being unraveled. Feet tucked inside. They wear the most comfortable sweaters. They were beaming when they opened the present, and their beautiful puppy was sitting next to them. See the difference between that model (and the dog model)?

Pro tip: Models (canines and humans) provide a great opportunity to use GIFs. GIF or video provides a more visually appealing final result that will attract the attention of potential customers and effectively convey your message.
