Elevate your Product Photos: Tips for Non-Photographers - with Karen Moreland

If you sell physical products and take your own photos (or know you probably should), this episode will really help.

Vicki is joined by Karen Moreland, who works with product sellers, Etsy shop owners and Amazon sellers who need good photos but don’t want to become photographers. This conversation is very practical and reassuring, especially if photography feels confusing, technical or just another thing on your never-ending to-do list.

You’ll hear:

1. Why you don’t need expensive equipment or a fancy camera to get decent product photos
2. The most common mistakes product sellers make with their photos – and how to fix them simply
3. How small changes to lighting and angles can make a big difference to how professional your products look
4. Why showing size, scale and how a product is used really matters for sales
5. How to stop aiming for “perfect” and actually get your photos done
6. Simple editing tweaks you can make on your phone without overthinking it

Karen explains everything in a very straightforward, no-jargon way and focuses on results rather than technical photography rules. If you’ve ever gone down a YouTube rabbit hole trying to “learn photography” and come away more confused than when you started, this episode will feel like a relief.

It’s a great listen if you want your product photos to look clearer, more professional and more trustworthy — without spending a fortune or learning a whole new skill.
