Free photography tip: Show scale and context in later images (step 14 of 14 from "Product Photos on a $20 Setup").
After the hero shot, add a photo that shows size (product next to a hand, a ruler, or a common object). Then add a lifestyle/context shot if you have one — the candle on a shelf, the mug on a desk.
You don't need a professional model or styled room. A clean desk and one hand in frame communicates scale and use. Keep the same white-balance discipline in these shots.
Pro tip: Batch your shoots: photograph all products in one session while the setup is built. You'll get consistent lighting across your entire store.
