Sharing is caring!

In the world of Amazon, product photography is king. You might have a great title or competitive price, but your Amazon product photography is the first thing everyone will see when they’re browsing items in your category.

Think of your main listing photo as curb appeal for a house. No matter how nice your house might look on the inside if the outside isn’t appealing to buyers they won’t want to take a look inside.

The same thing goes for your product photos. If you can’t immediately capture a customers attention in the gallery then it will be awfully hard to get them to click your ad for more details on your listing.

There are so many elements that make up a listing with great product photography. Since you are only allowed a maximum of 6 images per listing it’s essential you take full advantage of all 6 and optimize them for best results.

So if you’re looking to up your Amazon product photography game, it’s helpful to know what goes into a listing with great product photography and see examples from top-selling Amazon sellers.

I wasn’t able to see exact statistics on which images convert the best for each listing. I was, however able to pull data on each products monthly sales, reviews, and revenue. All listing data was pulled in May, 2018. I used Jungle Scout & Extension to extract all my data.

The only way to 100% discover which type of Amazon product photos work best for your products is by constantly A/B testing them using an app like Splitly.

Below you’ll find 12 examples of top selling products on Amazon with great product photography to back them up.

If you’re ready to hire an expect amazon product photographer you can find top-rated, fully vetted pros on the Jungle Scout Market for an affordable price.
