High quality and well-executed product photography are important for label design. It impacts the look of the final product. Before we dive in, remember, and make a note, that 300dpi (or dots per inch) is standard. Great Lakes Label will need images that have 300dpi no matter what.

 
While smartphone cameras have improved, investing in professional equipment is important. With smartphones, low light situations impact the quality of the image. With a DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) camera, the photographer has more control over settings. This assists with taking high-quality photos in any environment.
