Trends in Commercial Photography — Things Marketers Really Should Know

In the world of marketing, there is a well-known truth: a picture says more than a thousand words. But the right photo can be worth a thousand conversions. Why? Because in an era where digital marketing dominates, photography plays a crucial role in increasing turnover and strengthening the brand.

Bright, saturated colors

In our visually saturated culture, the first step to capturing attention is strong, saturated colors. These colors can create emotional reactions that connect consumers to a product or service. For example, Coca-Cola Co. have mastered the art of using rich, saturated red tones in their product images, making their bottle images instantly recognizable.

Minimalism

With information overload in all channels, minimalism offers a respite. It provides a clear, clean design that focuses on the product or service, and allows the marquee to speak for itself. Brands such as IKEA often uses individual product images in natural but minimalist settings to highlight the product's function and design.

Film aesthetics

Even in a digital age, the classic film aesthetic can give images a timeless quality. This appeals to both the nostalgia of older people and the craving for authenticity of young people, and can increase turnover by attracting a wider demographic. For example, the fashion house has Gucci in some of its campaigns used film aesthetics, which gave the pictures a timeless and at the same time modern quality.

Authenticity in images

At a time when consumers are increasingly skeptical, authentic images can serve as a reliable source. Photos of real employees or “ordinary people” can create a deeper connection and trust in the brand. Levi's have repeatedly used real people and natural surroundings in their marketing images, giving authenticity and relatability to the brand.

Drone photography

This gives a new angle to storytelling. The tourism industry, in particular Maldive Resorts, uses drones to capture the island's attractive overview images. This gives potential customers a richer understanding of what to expect and helps create a sense of longing to visit the place. It is a direct invitation to “see for yourself” through the eyes of a drone.

Storytelling through pictures

A strong image can tell a whole story. It engages the consumer, creates an emotional response, and can lead to increased recognition of your business among the audience. National Geographic has long mastered this technique, in which each photo tells a unique story of people, animals or places.
