# Detail and Macro Shots
Detail shots answer the question a product photo can't: what is this actually made of? For anything sold on quality — apparel, leather, furniture, tools, jewellery — the macro shot is where the purchase decision often gets made.
They're also cheap, quick, and among the most reliable generated images, because there's no composition, no perspective and no scale to get wrong.
## What a detail shot is for
| Signal | Shot |
|---|---|
| Material quality | Extreme close-up on the surface |
| Construction quality | Stitching, seams, joins |
| Hardware quality | Zips, buckles, clasps, hinges |
| Finish | Edge treatment, polish, coating |
| Texture | Weave, grain, nap, knurl |
| Print quality | Label print, embossing, engraving |
| Wear resistance | Reinforcement points |
**Stitching is the highest-signal detail for anything sewn.** Stitch density, evenness and thread quality are what a customer reads as "well made", and it's the shot most catalogues omit.
