Don't Spend Your All Day Dropping Photo Shadows

To ensure your products fly off the shelves, authentic-looking shadows are non-negotiable. These shadows not only add depth to your photos but also catapult your products into three-dimensional prominence.

Relying on a single shadow won't suffice; the key lies in stacking layer upon layer, especially when dealing with intricate product features. Yet, the tedious processes of layering, masking, tinkering with density, and feathering for extensive periods aren't what you envisioned when taking on this task. The pre-installed drop shadow tool falls short, making the creation of a lifelike shadow a demanding feat, one that demands precision, patience, and a considerable investment of time.

Leave it to the experts

Outsource even your most intricate clipping path projects to Path’s team of experts, starting at 39¢ per image. You can get large batches of images edited faster and cheaper, in as little as 6 hours.

  • Photo Shadow Creation Services involve the skilled manipulation of shadows in images to enhance their visual appeal or realism. These services include techniques such as adding drop shadows, natural shadows, reflection shadows, and floating shadows to create depth and a lifelike effect in photographs. Commonly used in product photography and e-commerce, these services contribute to improved visual aesthetics and can make products stand out by creating a sense of realism and dimension.

  • Drop shadow

    Enhance the visual richness of product images by introducing a subtle shadow effect, bringing depth that makes objects distinctly stand out from the background.

    Natural Shadow

    Make it look like your product has cast a shadow on the background or surface, using an imaginary light source that’s created by the editor.

    Existing shadow

    Maintain naturally occurring shadows that you want to keep in your shot, even when you’re removing or replacing the background. This is also known as cast shadow.

  • The cost of shadow creation services is contingent upon the specific shadow type you require and the intricacy involved in crafting it. While each image presents unique challenges, we adhere to standard pricing guidelines to ensure transparency and consistency in rates, even if you engage with a different designer.

    Below is a breakdown of our pricing categories for shadows:

    1. Drop shadow – 29¢ per image

    Crafting a basic drop shadow is a straightforward process, with minimal customization needed from one image to another. As a result, each basic drop shadow is priced at a straightforward flat rate.

    Great for:

    • Ecommerce product photography
    • Adding a natural depth to images that have had the backgrounds removed

    2. Basic natural shadows – 65¢ per image


    Fashioning natural shadows is a more intricate process, demanding precision as each shadow is meticulously tailored to match your product's shape and context.
