A background can make all the difference. To keep it simple and easiest just use white backgrounds for all products except those products which are white in colour or other light shades which don’t come out good on a white background because of no contrast.
You can use models for clothing apparel and accessories so as the shopper can have an idea how it actually looks when wore.
