What are cost-effective options for creating bottle shot images for e-commerce listings—should we use photography or rendered images?

Both photography and rendered images are viable, with rendered images offering significant long-term cost savings. **Rendered bottle shots** are recommended as best value: they cost approximately £0.00 to regenerate for label changes or new SKUs, making them ideal if you're planning product variations. If you need physical photography, **Charlie Burgio** (https://www.charlieburgio.com/) is the community's go-to specialist—he works to a high standard at reasonable prices and handles technical challenges like glass reflections well. Consider your workflow: if this is a one-off static product, photography may suffice; if you're planning multiple SKUs or label iterations, rendered images pay for themselves quickly through reusability. Members note that rendered options work particularly well when you need to combine elements from existing bottles using high-res images.
