Spending hours on end drawing drop shadows can really take away the joy from your work.
If you want your products to sell, you need realistic-looking shadows. Shadows add depth to your photos and make your products stand out.
You can’t just settle for one shadow, especially for detailed products. But spending hours layering, masking, adjusting density, and feathering is not what you want to be doing. The default drop shadow tool is not good enough, so creating a lifelike shadow requires precision and patience. And a lot of time.

What are drop shadow services?
Realistic shadows play a key role in enhancing product photography by adding depth to the images. In cases where the lighting is not optimal or when you’re editing the background to showcase your products, it becomes necessary to incorporate shadows afterwards.
This is where shadow creation services can be useful.
When done well, these shadows can enhance the appeal of your products to customers, even if the effect is subtle. This is especially true when showcasing your products against a white background, as shadows can make your products stand out instead of looking flat and lifeless.
Shadows are useful for making your product stand out from the background, especially when there are similar colors involved. They also help maintain a cohesive look across all your product photos.

What is the pricing for drop shadow services?
