Read on to find out how to use platform risers to your advantage when photographing your inventory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choosing the Right Platform Risers <\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of the most important steps when choosing your platform risers is to consider the weight and size of your products. While our acrylic platform risers are durable\u2014they are shatter-resistant\u2014you want to make sure your items will fit securely on the base. ShopPOPdisplays has a variety of platform risers, from floor-standing models to small tabletop styles, to fit any of your display needs. For example, our U-shaped platform risers are ideal for showcasing\u00a0antiques<\/a>, pottery,\u00a0jewelry<\/a>,\u00a0cosmetics<\/a>, and toiletries.<\/p>\n

When it comes to planning for product photography, scale is also important. Consumers will want to see the actual size of the item they\u2019re looking to purchase, and platform risers can help with this. Simply select the appropriate riser for your merchandise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Setting Up Your Product Photography Scene<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Select a neutral background. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The products need to take center stage, so you\u2019ll want to keep your background simple. Stick with a light color and stay away from any busy patterns. If you decide to use a bright color, make sure it complements the product\u2019s packaging.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set different heights.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the biggest benefits of platform risers is it allows you to arrange your products at varying heights to create an eye-catching scene. This is especially helpful when you need to group items together in one shot. These clear acrylic square risers<\/a> come in a set of three, with each riser at a different height. ShopPOPdisplays also carries acrylic cylinder risers<\/a> in different sizes, as well as acrylic cube risers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bring in some color. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Of course, you want the products to get all the attention, but there are times you might want to add some pops of color to your scene. We have platform risers with accent colors including fluorescent pink<\/a>, green<\/a>, yellow<\/a>, orange<\/a>, and blue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Add a few props. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to add in some accessories that work with your product, such a beauty items, flowers and greenery, fresh fruit, etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Using Platform Risers to Highlight Product Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Highlight details. Platform risers are perfect for positioning your products at different angles to showcase their different textures, colors, and shapes. Acrylic mirrored risers<\/a>, for instance, allow merchandise to be highlighted and viewed from multiple angle, and bring light and illumination to objects on display, creating eye-catching attention to promotional items.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Create depth and dimension. Add some dimension to your product photography by featuring platform risers in unique shapes. This clear acrylic z riser<\/a> comes in different sizes (as well as black<\/a>) and can take smaller merchandise to the next level. And this Acrylic 3 Square Shelf Tower Riser allows you to highlight small items at multiple angles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tips for Working with Platform Risers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use double-sided tape. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the best way to secure your items to the platform risers. It is especially handy if you want to position the product at an angle or on its side.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Place one product per riser. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

This will put the spotlight on the product and give the photo a clean, modern look.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prop items up. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t always have to place the products directly on top of the platform riser. Instead, use the risers to keep merchandise upright to create a unique product photo.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lay it down. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can also create beautiful shots of your products by laying them flat on the platform riser.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Design a creative background. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Platform risers don\u2019t need to be for product placement. You can also use risers of different shapes, sizes, and colors to create a one-of-a-kind background for your product photography. Platform risers can bring your product photography scene to life.<\/p>\n
