Why is a front-on photo not enough?

Because wrap curvature is the functional heart of the design and it is invisible head-on. An aggressive wrap and a flat frame look nearly identical from the front.

How do I photograph mirror lenses?

With light that lets them throw coloured highlights. Flat frontal lighting flattens a mirror coating into a dark lens and removes the appeal.

Does tint colour matter?

Functionally, yes. Rose, amber and grey suit different conditions, so rendering the real tint rather than generic dark is worth doing.

What about grip points?

Rubberised nose pads and temple tips are what keep the frame in place when a wearer sweats. They are small, contrasting and easily lost in a render.

Should I show interchangeable lenses?

Yes, including the mechanism. It is frequently the reason for the price difference and it needs its own detail frame.

Is polarisation visible in a photograph?

Not directly. It is best communicated through context or copy rather than implied by a lens appearance that cannot show it.

Does coverage vary by face?

It does, which is why showing the frame against a face rather than isolated is the most useful thing an image can do here.

Is the free generation really free?

Yes. One per day, watermarked and capped at 1024px. Signing up gives you 20 credits and clean full-resolution files with full commercial rights.

Why this is worth getting right

Performance eyewear is designed around a curvature that a front-on photograph completely hides. A wrap frame curves back toward the temples to block peripheral light and wind, and that base curve is the functional heart of the product — a rider or runner is buying coverage, not a silhouette. Photographed straight on, an aggressive wrap and a flat fashion frame can look nearly identical, which is why an angled or three-quarter view is not optional in this category. Coverage against the face is the related question: whether the frame seals well enough at the brow and temple to keep light and debris out is what separates a sports frame from a fashion one, and it only reads with a face behind it. Lens finish is the second axis and a commercially important one. Mirror coatings behave very differently from flat tints under light, throwing coloured specular highlights that are part of the appeal, and photographing a mirrored lens with flat frontal light kills exactly what the buyer is paying for. Tint colour is functional too — rose, amber and grey each serve different conditions — so rendering the actual tint rather than a generic dark lens matters. Grip points are the practical detail: rubberised nose pads and temple tips are what stop a frame moving when a wearer sweats, and they are small, often contrasting components that are easy to lose in a render. Interchangeable lens systems, where present, deserve their own frame since the mechanism is the reason for the price.

Tips that actually help

Include an angled view so the wrap curvature reads, because a front-on shot makes an aggressive wrap look like a flat frame.
Show the frame against a face at the temple, since coverage is what separates performance eyewear from fashion eyewear.
Light mirror coatings so they throw their coloured highlights, as flat frontal light kills the finish being sold.
Render the actual tint colour, because rose, amber and grey serve genuinely different conditions.
Keep rubberised nose pads and temple tips sharp, as those grip points are why the frame stays put when a wearer sweats.

Who uses this

Cycling and running brands: Coverage and grip are functional claims that need to be visible rather than described.
Interchangeable lens systems: The mechanism justifies the price and deserves its own detail imagery.
Watersports and glare-heavy sports: Polarisation and tint choice are condition-specific decisions buyers make deliberately.
Team and club supply: Bulk purchasers comparing fit and durability across several models.
