neutral  Tony M: This would not be the normal, natural way of expressing it here in EN. Note that the product photos may or may not be rights-free, but are likely to have been taken e.g. by an in-house photographer, and hence not necessarily credited.

product photos


Explanation:
Would be the normal way of expressing this in an equivalent context in EN.

Note that in some situations these 'product photos' would in fact be called 'pack shots' — but only your wider context will tell you if that could be applicable.

Well, oly you can tell fro your wider context, but typically a product brochure, say, may have exotic shots of the otuside of the factory, hitech planes using the manufacturer's equipment etc. — these 'posh' shots will be commissioned from a professional photographer; whereas the starightforward shots of each individual product, possibly not requiring such artistic skill, and indeed, often required to be much more 'straight' and documentary-like, will be entrusted to the in-house photography team, who of course are very used to shooting the company's products, and may well have a small, dedicated studio for doing so.
I can't explain any better without knowing the specifics of your wider context... but this is typical practice in the business.

Asker: Hi Tony, could you clarify please, I don't understand? What are such photos used for?

Asker: Sorry, I'm totally over-thinking this one, I really don't know why, I get it now, thanks!

Asker: It has been a long month already! I see you're top of the KudoZ leaderboard, by a country mile if I remember correctly - congrats!
