What to study

Curiosity Gap

Shooting portraits blind on a $45 camera sounds like a gamble, since photographers check every shot on a screen. The gadget held up looks more like an old handheld game than a camera. The portraits stay hidden, so you click to see if they worked.

How the packaging works
Title

'$45' and 'No Screen' stack two handicaps onto one ordinary task, and the model name 'GODOX C100' catches photographers already searching for it.

Thumbnail

NO SCREEN in huge white letters names the handicap photographers will feel most, and the sunlit city skyline behind hints this is a real street shoot, not a studio test.

Remix this

When you test cheap or limited gear, put the one missing feature your audience relies on in big letters over the gear itself. Keep the price in the title and hold back the results.
