FAQ
Video & Reels, answered.
Can you make professional Reels with just a phone?
Yes. Modern phones shoot excellent video. Good light, clear sound, steady framing and tight editing matter far more than the camera.
What is the best resolution and frame rate for Reels?
Shoot vertical 9:16 in 4K or 1080p at 30 frames per second for talking content, and 60 fps if you plan slow motion.
How many photos should each product have?
Aim for five to eight: a main image, two or three angles, detail close-ups, a scale or size reference and at least one lifestyle or in-use image. Complex products may need more.
Should product photos have a white background?
For the main image on marketplaces and for catalogue consistency, yes. Your own website can use a consistent coloured or textured background that matches your brand, plus lifestyle images.
What type of Reels get the most reach?
Reels with a strong first-second hook that promise something specific: a myth corrected, a surprising result, a transformation or a relatable problem. Completion rate and shares matter most.
How long should a business Reel be?
As long as the idea needs and no longer. Many perform well between 7 and 30 seconds; educational Reels can run longer if every second earns its place.
What is the best light for food photography?
Soft, directional side light, such as a large window or a diffused studio light, usually from the side or slightly behind the dish to show texture.
Which angle is best for food photos?
It depends on the dish: overhead for pizzas, thalis and flat plates; around 45 degrees for bowls and burgers; eye level for drinks, cakes and stacked food.
