A managed photography engagement should deliver agreed, usable files. AI does not remove the need for accurate product references, approvals and quality control. Separate documentary catalog images from campaign scenes.
Prepare and approve a small sample
Supply current product IDs, images, variants, dimensions and packaging where relevant. Approve lighting, perspective and product accuracy before extending the approach across a catalog. New photography may be needed for missing views or precise demonstrations.
Review the series and the agreement
Check each product and the consistency of the set, including filenames and crops. Keep versioned approvals. Clarify retouching, revisions, file types and repeat orders. Video packages do not automatically price a photo catalog. See AI product photography and the service selection guide.
Distinguish a product record from a campaign scene
A customer-facing catalog view must explain the item accurately. A campaign may require additional environments, but those must not change what the customer believes they are buying. Specify the necessary scenes and priorities rather than asking for an undefined quantity of images.
Keep old and new packaging clearly separated in the input material. When the initial visual sample is approved, record the details that must stay fixed. Review later exports again if product or composition changes. Check both individual images and their neighboring variants in the catalog. Consistent lighting is useful only when genuine differences in color, size and construction remain visible.
