How do I photograph the Tech Spec aesthetic?+
Product truth rendered in dimension, callout, and the cold precision of the engineering drawing. Shoot on a measured axis place a level on the camera and ensure the back of the sensor is parallel to the front face of the product; the slightest rotation introduces a perspective reading that undermines the specification documentation quality
