Leather goods product photography.

Grain comes out under raking, directional light that catches the surface at a low angle — flat frontal light makes leather look like plastic. The briefs below specify the lighting and surfaces that keep the grain, patina, and stitching visible and rich.

Close framing and directional light bring out the detail — the thread, the edge paint, the burnished edges. Several briefs are built around detail, staging the piece and camera so the craftsmanship reads as the selling point rather than a blur.

It depends on the colour and mood. Tan and cognac leather read richer on wood, travertine, or linen; black and structured pieces sit cleaner on stone, slate, or a dark ground. The briefs pair each piece with a surface and lighting that flatter it together.

No. Each brief is a photographer’s shoot recipe — the surface, lighting, and camera setup written out in plain terms. You upload a photo of your product, adapt the brief to it, and ioli generates the finished image on its photography-tuned model. No camera, no lightbox, no re-shoot.

Yes. Adapt a brief to your product, then generate a clean centered pack shot for a product page or a moodier editorial frame for social. ioli generates the finished image on its photography-tuned model — no copying into another tool.

A hero shot is one polished image — the kind that sits at the top of a product page. A four-shot campaign is four coordinated images that read as one shoot: a clean pack shot plus three styled angles or scenes, consistent in light and mood, ready to roll out across a listing and social.
