The same scene, three different objects — because what you make is not what anyone else makes.
With packaging
The product photographed next to the box, pouch or wrap it arrives in, so a buyer sees what actually turns up.

Send one photo of what you made and we restage that — we never invent an object. Extra angles only help when a scene shows a side your photo does not.
Try it freeTwo things in one frame: the product itself and the packaging it ships in, arranged so neither hides the other and both are legible. The light is soft and even, the surface neutral, and the composition is close enough that a label can be read. It is a photograph of an unboxing that has not happened yet.
It earns its place as the second or third image in a listing, and it does two jobs at once. It answers "what am I actually getting", which is the question behind most pre-purchase messages, and it makes a gift buyer confident enough not to ask whether it comes wrapped. Handmade soap, candles, tea, jewellery and anything sold at Christmas benefit most. Skip it if your packaging is a plain mailer — showing that helps nobody.
Photograph the product and its packaging side by side on any clean surface, both fully in frame. If your label carries your brand name, keep it facing the camera and unbent; text in the reference is respected, text we have to guess at is not.
