Tips on taking product photos!
Product-Only Images:
Product-only images are images that focus on one item (that being the product).
When taking a product-only image, we encourage you to focus on the following:
-
Is the product photo clear?
-
Can you see it well against the background you have chosen?
-
Do you have the ability to take the photo with a solid background? (White pillow cases, doors, or sheets make a great background)
-
Is it obvious what item is being donated? (Try not to include other items in the photo)
Context Images:
Context images are images of your donation in use. For example, if you are selling a blouse, you may choose to wear the blouse in a photo so others can see what it might look like on them if they have a similar body type. We encourage these images just as much as product-only images, it is really just a concern of what you are comfortable with. When taking a photo of this nature, we would like you to focus on the following:
-
Are you in a well-lit environment?
-
Is there anything inappropriate in the background?
-
Are you alone in the photo?
-
Is it clear what item you are donating?
-
Are you spaced far/near enough to get a clear image?
-
If your face is in the photo, do you look happy?
