How to Photograph Essential Oil Bottles for Stand-Out Etsy Listings

1. Master Your Lighting

Natural, diffused light is your best friend. Position your essential oil bottles near a window on an overcast day to avoid harsh shadows and reflections on the glass. A clean, white bounce card (or even a piece of foam board) can be used to fill in any dark areas and make your labels pop.

2. Use Thematic Props

Props help tell a story about your oil’s scent and use. For lavender oil, use fresh or dried lavender sprigs. For citrus oils, use slices of lemon or orange. This visually communicates the ingredients and appeals to the buyer’s senses. Keep the background simple so your product remains the hero.

3. Create Endless Variations with AI

Setting up unique scenes for every single product is time-consuming and expensive. Product Lens AI solves this instantly.

• No props needed: Get perfect lifestyle shots without buying or arranging a single prop. Create a full, professional-looking Etsy gallery in minutes. Stand out from the competition with unique, high-quality images for every listing.
