It is important to research the company and the interviewer. Explore their website and past work. Do some research on the interviewer if you know the person's name. This will show the interviewer that you did your homework and are genuinely interested in working at the company.

I applied for this position based on the photography work on your website. Your work is more visually interesting and completely different than your competitors' work. Your work feels more intimate and authentic and left me wanting to learn more as a consumer.
