How to ALT tag correctly many similar images?
-
scenario: I have a product page with some text about the product and 12-15 different images af the product: details, colours, different views...
how should I name an alt tag them correctly, been them actually really similar?
Is it keyword stuffing to use the same name containing a relevant keywords?

Just try to be as honest and descriptive as possible. Consider you were not doing it for a search engine but that you were doing it for a blind site user who would want as much info as possible.
Product A - Side View
Product A - view from top
Product A in Red
Product A in Blue
etc
Tough and alt text is often a mess, or repeated in these cases so just describe each image as best and as naturally as possible and you will be okay.

I agree,
Just kind of describe what it's showing of a specific picture. Just keep in mind the "real" use of alt text, Accessability for people without a monitor, if you keep that in mind, you should be golden.

Hi Marcus, everything make sense
but if the name of "Product A" contains a relevant keyword, at the end we have 15 keyword repetition in one page. would be ok?

Yeah, just keep it natural - if that is the best way to describe the image, then go for it. If something else is a better way, then choose that.
