If the images you have uploaded is original, professional and clear then the customers are more likely to connect with you. 

This not only helps in getting customers, but also on getting prospective clients or investors to your company.

• Stock photography feels impersonal : 

When you are just setting up your business by creating a website, social media handles and are trying to promote your brand in all possible ways, you might not have enough budget to hire a professional photographer to click some Awesome, Creative images to represent your brand.

That’s fine and understandable too. But as and when your business start making some profit, use a certain percentage of it and hire a professional photographer immediately. 

Get some creative photographs taken that represent your brand. Use them in your upcoming content and don’t forget to replace all the stock photos in your previous ones.

• Professional Photos are crucial for product based companies : 

If you sell Physical products, then having professionally clicked photographs are super crucial for your business.

Whenever a customer visits your website to browse through your products, the main thing they will consider is “How the product looks?”, “Is the colour bright enough?”, the patterns, texture of the products etc. 

The majority of the answers for the above question lies in the image you upload. The more clear and high quality your image feels, more inclined the customers are to buy them. This is because the image would look so appealing the customer can’t help but make a purchase.

But, if you simply just upload some low quality pictures of your product or upload no image at all, the customers won’t seem interested to make a purchase even if your have very neatly & clearly described your product or even have some discounts on them!
