Overview

Shoot real products for Canadian online shops, then use AI-assisted editing for backgrounds, cropping and variations. Your client buys clear, consistent listing photos, not fictional product features. Revenue depends on the number of shoots and revisions; estimates are gross before software and equipment costs.

Step-by-step action plan

  1. 1
    Build a tabletop setup

    Start with a phone or camera, a neutral backdrop and soft lighting. Photograph three products with multiple angles.

  2. 2
    Edit without changing the facts

    Remove distracting backgrounds, fix exposure and resize for storefronts. Leave dimensions, colour and included accessories faithful to the real item.

  3. 3
    Publish a before-and-after portfolio

    Get permission to show sample products and identify any images with generated backgrounds where appropriate.

  4. 4
    Offer a per-SKU package

    Specify photo count, background choices, image dimensions, turnaround and revision limits in a CAD quote.

  5. 5
    Deliver original and finished files

    Share organized files and ask the client to approve final images before they appear in ads or product pages.
