Studio Rental vs. Home Setup – Which is Better for E-commerce Shoots?
When it comes to selling products online, good photos are everything. A clear, beautiful picture makes customers trust your brand and buy your product. When it comes to e-commerce, photography is not just about clicking a picture — it’s about creating trust, building your brand image, and convincing the customer to buy. High-quality product photos can instantly make your business look professional and reliable. But there’s always a big question for every seller: should you invest in renting a professional studio, or just do the shoot at home to save money? At KAAB Films India, we have seen both sides of this decision because we do both types of shoots. And if you want to make your products look as premium as possible, there’s a strong case for choosing a studio setup.
At KAAB Films India, we don’t just do e-commerce shoots — we also specialize in Brand shoot , E-Commerce shoots, Baby shoots, wedding shoots, and more. And yes, we do both studio shoots and home/location shoots depending on what you need.
So, should you rent a studio for your product photos, or just do the shoot at home? Let’s compare both options so you can decide what’s best for your brand.
Shooting in a Studio
The biggest advantage of renting a studio is professional quality. A studio is built for photography. It has perfect lighting, multiple backdrops, and professional cameras that make your product look sharp, bright, and flawless. You don’t need to worry about shadows, dull colors, or messy backgrounds ruining your photos. With proper lighting and a distraction-free environment, your products immediately look premium, which helps attract customers and increase sales.
Another benefit of studio shoots is time efficiency
- Professional Look: Studios have proper lights, cameras, and backdrops, so your products look very clean and premium.
- No Mess: No need to move furniture or clean your home — the space is ready to shoot.
- Fast and Easy: You walk in, shoot, and walk out with high-quality results.
- Better Quality: Professional equipment means sharper and more consistent images
Shooting at Home
At home, you may spend hours cleaning, rearranging furniture, and trying to set up a small photo corner. In a studio, everything is ready to go — you simply walk in, shoot, and leave with professional-quality results. This is perfect for businesses that have a lot of products to shoot in a short time. Most homes are not designed for photography. You may not have enough room to set up lights, backdrops, or tripods properly. This can make it hard to capture your products in the best way. On top of that, you have to spend extra time setting up, cleaning, and editing the photos later to make them look professional — which can be frustrating and time-consuming
- Limited Gear: You may not have professional lights or cameras.
- Takes Effort: You’ll spend time setting up and cleaning before and after.
- Changing Light: Natural light changes during the day, which can make photos look uneven.
What KAAB Films India Suggests
We offer both options — a fully equipped studio for a polished, professional look, and a skilled team that can come to your home or office for a natural vibe.
- Choose studio shoots if you want a clean, premium, and consistent look for your online store.
- Choose home/location shoots if you want a cozy, lifestyle feel for social media or ads.
Either way, we make sure your products look their absolute best so your sales can grow.
