Product Flat Lay
Arrange your product in a clean overhead composition with purposeful spacing, soft shadows and a few supporting objects that keep the main item easy to read.

Make it work with your image
A square overhead frame leaves room for the product and a small amount of context. Avoid cropping through the main item or its lid.
Choose an object whose top view has a recognizable shape. A package with all its identity on the front label may lose that information when viewed from above.
Ask for a simple supporting material, such as folded paper or linen. Keep large props away from the product outline and leave visible negative space.
Limitations
Changing to an overhead viewpoint requires the model to infer hidden surfaces. Packaging geometry, lettering and the position of openings can differ from the original.
