We use both. Photos are great to show the actual product, but
drawings are more useful to show some sort of cut-away, magnify
one portion of an overall view of the product, etc.

We recently picked up a contract illustrator after having lost our in-
house resource a few years back. There are just some things you
can't portray with a photograph.
