Photos are the classics of web and app design imagery. They catch attention, set the mood, show how things work, and cover many other essential objectives in cases when pictures work better than words or enhance the written message. Our today’s article is also devoted to photos used for websites and mobile applications: let’s look at the main goals that push UI\/UX designers to search for the best shot and review plenty of UI design examples of how photos work in user interfaces.<\/p>\n

Obviously, photos present the major tool for the visual presentation of goods on e-commerce websites<\/a> where the principle \u201cyou get what you see\u201d is a vital part of success. As long as you sell something physical, the customer expects to see it by default; that’s really the case when the picture is worth a thousand words. For shopping online, the quality and style<\/strong> of photos are crucial as they often become the main trigger capturing the customer’s eye as well as one of the key elements in the decision-making process under conditions you cannot see and touch the real goods.<\/p>\n

Other vital aspects of using photos effectively as a part of e-commerce experience and brand presentation are originality<\/strong> and consistency<\/strong>. To stand out from the crowd of competitors, online stores need their photos to look unique, memorable, and instantly transfer the brand image. That’s why regular photo shootings are an integral part of e-commerce reality. Depending on the target audience, different stores choose different approaches to photo presentation: some make it friendly, informal, and as close to real-life as possible, while others present their goods in original surroundings or model-posing; some resources prefer studio shots others take photos in special environments. Whatever the approach, an essential aspect is staying consistent<\/a> in it to make it recognizable and so that website or app visitors could feel it like a pattern and didn’t handle too much cognitive load. As well, a consistent approach to the cross-platform photo presentation of the brand photo content in different marketing channels such as social networks, advertising banners, newsletters, etc., sets a strong visual connection and helps shoppers recognize the brand whenever they see it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the photos should demonstrate the stuff from different angles and perspectives, especially on product pages<\/a>. Another thing to keep in mind is that items photographed on models or in the proper environments have more chances to draw customers’ attention and look more convincing. It doesn’t mean that object photography doesn’t work, yet in most cases, seeing an outfit on a model, a toy in the hands of a kid, or a set of dishes on the served table lets the buyer easily imagine it looks and see its benefits. So, quite often, e-commerce platforms combine both types of photo presentation: a clean object photo with no distractions as well as its photo on a model or in the surroundings of use.<\/p>\n

Certainly, it works the same way to demonstrate the services that can be visualized with photos.<\/p>\n
