I often get asked whether it's best to have images switch the backgrounds cut out, or whether you should keep the backgrounds, or use lifestyle / styled images. So I thought a great article to write would be one breaking this down for you all.
This is where you completely cut out the background of the image so it’s just white or a block colour. SO it would appear that the object in the image is floating
These images are simply just the ones you take normally and don’t remove any background. It may be that you take the images in front of a white screen or specific background or simply that they’re just on display in your store or warehouse.
These types of images are where you would typically see an item displayed in a room setting. For example, you may see a dining table, set out with the chairs with the table laid and some other dining room furniture around it. So you can get a feel of how the item looks in a setting.

There is no right or wrong when it comes which of the three image types above that you choose, it’s mostly down to personal preference, budget and space. Some people prefer the cut out backgrounds because they may feel that a lifestyle image is too busy for their liking, but I hope you found the above information useful!
