The Next Generation of Media for all eCommerce Sectors
Norton Photography and Retouching have emerged as the leading provider of high-quality professional 360° Spin Product Photography and Video in Ireland. Our professional 360° Product Photography offers Irish sellers the unprecedented opportunity to close the gap between the physical shopping experience and ecommerce. We deliver the highest standard interactive imagery all sectors including Jewellery, Fashion, and Drink.
Who are 360° Product Spins for?
360° Product Spins are used primarily by online retailers and other ecommerce websites. Interactive 360° Product Photography and 360° Product Videos are used to great benefit by select online sellers in every sector. Companies selling B2B, ecommerce brands who sell directly to the consumer, and even smaller sellers who market their wares via services like Amazon and eBay.
Online Shoppers
A 2018 survey revealed 25% of Irish consumers hop online weekly or more frequently, and that number was on the rise. A recent study by Wolfgang Digital shows that covid-19 caused 4 years of growth for online retailers in Ireland in just 4 months. Bringing an unforeseen boost to those who have the most to gain from 360° Spins.
Mobile Shoppers
According to an Adobe mobile consumer survey, when comparing videos (31%) and alternative photographs (29%) more mobile users (42%) say that a 360° Product Spin is the visual feature that will most likely increase their likelihood of purchasing a product via a mobile device.
Offline Purchases Are Also Influenced By Digital Media
2/3 of all shopping experiences start online. Which means even when it comes down to old fashioned brick and mortar shopping, many consumers have already decided which brand or product they are going to purchase before they even walk into a physical storefront.
Why 360° Product Photography?
Be innovative, be informative, be compelling. Since you’re here we probably don’t need to lecture you on the value and importance of high quality professional content for your online store. But we should tell you that even compared to top notch professional stills, 360° Product Photography has been shown to increase conversions and customer satisfaction, while decreasing returns, dead-end queries and negative reviews.
According to Adobe scene7: 91% of consumers surveyed want to be able to turn products around in full 360° and zoom in on any perspective.
Building positive engagements and crucially increasing brand loyalty.
Especially in industry and construction sectors, call centres can be inundated with dead-end calls from buyers looking for more descriptive information about products. With 360° Product Photography, the buyer is able to independently familiarise themselves with the product before purchasing, meaning less time wasted at your call centre.
Consumers love 360° Spin Photography. It’s fun, it’s interactive, it’s informative. Aside from the obvious and immediate benefits like Increased Conversions and Decreased Returns there are a number of positive trickle-down effects like; sellers with 360° Product Photography are viewed as UX leaders, building brand loyalty, and more time spent on your website which in turn boosts your SEO score, your AdSense revenue, etc.
With nearly 1/3 of all online sales being returned, offering the best possible high-quality view of your product from every possible angle can have a hugely beneficial effect. Some online sellers have found a 50% reduction of returned items after upgrading their online shops with 360° Product Photography.
Sellers across a wide array of sectors are reporting increases in conversion rates on average between 30-47%!

360° Fashion Photography
Stimulate new buyers by diversifying the way you present your apparel, shoes, and accessories.
360° Spin Photography is perfect for the fashion industry. More people than ever are ordering clothes online.
When shoppers walk into a boutique, what are they looking for when they pick up a shoe or check the finish of a jacket? 360° Fashion Photography purveys the most textile information the fastest, and the interactive nature of the spins restores some of the control the shoppers miss from the physical experience.
360° Jewellery Photography
Why 360° Photography for Jewellery?
Perspective jewellery buyers judge you on mainly two things; the design of your piece (that’s where you come in) and the quality of the photography of said piece (that’s where we come in)! Fair or not, online shoppers behave under the assumption that 1.) the images you share of your jewellery are fair and accurate and 2.) they do justice to the piece.
As jewellers, you will know how carefully buyers like to examine each item before making a commitment… carefully turning a ring to see how the stone catches light. Top-notch professional photography is key, yet that is still a difficult experience to get across in a single image or even a set of images! Our high quality 360° product spins are the perfect solution.
At Norton Photography and Retouching, we know Jewellery Photography. We photograph your product in the best quality light, with the clearest photos from every angle. We have the knowledge from experience to know just how to fine tune our set up to get the best images of rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches, loose diamonds and more.
