Images can make big difference if you get clicks or not
I found this Amazon channel with best tips for images
https://www.youtube.com/c/AmazonImaging/videos
100s of short video & quick fixes -->

• White background
• No shadow
• Consistent format (example --> face left, 40 degree angle)
• Crop tightly (for most users on smart phone)
  
• Different angles for additional images (right, front, back, top, bottom)
• Close up for special features
• Minimum 5 images (max 7)
• Use models of different ethnicity & size
• Don't alter image apart from crop
• Better image is bigger in Google search
• Full face or not doesn't matter
• Use descriptive file names
• Correct file extension (usu. JPEG)
• Keep customer focus on product (not model)
• Detail shots high quality
• Show logos, patterns, print, buttons, pockets
  
• Make image look same as product
• Don't Photoshop image to look better
• Avoid the watermarks & borders
  
• Only use engaged & natural acting models

Brilliant stuff eurogreyjoy. Excellent tips. Just a little addition to that especially good for seo is to start using next gen image formats - JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP. They have superior compression and quality characteristics compared to JPEG and PNG file formats.
