Smooth seas don’t rock the boat. If users on your site are browsing multiple products, sizes and variations, they expect to see consistency in the images.

Does your product have great details, like intricate stitching or detailed craftmanship? Then customers want to see it! Your product deserves to be shown in its best light, so find a macro lens (or even a probe lens) and get zooming! Detail shots help to complete the picture (so to speak) but also act as testament to the products quality.
