A subtle, natural-looking shadow or reflection can be the difference between a product that looks pasted onto a page and one that looks tangible and valuable. I add custom drop shadows or reflective surfaces to your isolated product images to give them weight and presence.

You can choose from a range of effects, from a soft natural drop shadow for a minimalist look to a crisp reflection for tech gadgets. I don’t use generic filters; each shadow is crafted based on the product’s shape and the implied light direction to look realistic. This kind of detailing makes products feel more premium and can increase perceived value. I work with batches of up to 15 product photos. Within 24 hours, you’ll receive each photo back in three formats: the image with the effect applied as a JPG and PNG, plus a layered PSD file giving you control over the shadow’s intensity and length for future use. The work format is written communication via shared folder. To begin, you provide your isolated product photos and specify the shadow style you want (soft natural drop shadow, crisp reflection, etc.).

It’s a technique widely used by major brands in their marketing. It works well for electronics, cosmetics, jewelry and packaged goods—any item where a sense of physical quality and craftsmanship is a key selling point. I’ll work with you to determine the shadow style that best complements your brand’s aesthetic.
