Supplement Photography Challenges
Supplement and vitamin products require careful photography that accurately represents the product while complying with FDA and marketplace regulations. You cannot make health claims through imagery.
Key Photography Tips
Shoot the front label clearly and legibly. Include the supplement facts panel as a separate image. Show the actual product (capsules, tablets, powder) outside the container. Include size reference for the bottle.
Compliance Considerations
Never show before/after body transformation images. Avoid implying medical benefits through imagery. Do not include stethoscopes, medical equipment, or doctor imagery unless your product is FDA-approved. Amazon is particularly strict about supplement image compliance.
Lighting for Bottles
Supplement bottles are often glossy plastic or glass. Use diffused lighting to minimize reflections. A light tent works well for consistent, even illumination. Shoot at a slight angle to avoid direct reflections.
Post-Processing
Use Pic1.ai to remove backgrounds and create clean white images for marketplace listings. The AI handles transparent and semi-transparent bottles well, preserving the label readability.
