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? 

 

 

Thank you for considering making a donation to your favorite charity through Empathy Mart—we really look forward to seeing the photos that you all come up with!
