Tips for High-Quality, Professional Photos

    Lighting

  • Natural Daylight: Whenever possible, position your setup near a window or outdoors for authentic, vibrant colors.
  • Avoid Flash: Flash can create glare or wash out details. Softer light usually looks most appealing. However, for interiors or tight corners—an extra light source or mirror can be extremely helpful.

    Background

  • Neutral Setup: A simple, uncluttered surface or wall keeps attention on the bag.
  • Minimal Distractions: Avoid any personal items, decorations, or busy patterns.

    Composition and framing

  • Centered & Focused: Placing the bag in the center of the frame and ensures it's the primary focus.

    Camera Stability and Quality

  • Use a Tripod or Stable Surface: This prevents blur and helps keep your images consistently sharp.
  • High-Resolution Photos: If you have a camera or smartphone with a strong resolution, it will capture those fine details (like hardware engravings and stitching) more accurately.

    Accuracy and Transparency

  • Clearly Document Any Flaws: Small tears, loose threads, or scuffs should be well-lit and in focus.

    Platform Requirements

  • No Watermarks or Stock Photos: Listings should feature your own current images.
  • Avoid Offensive or Personal Content: Keep photos professional and free of personal identifiers.

Photos to capture

1. Front View (Full Bag): Present a clear, unobstructed front-facing photo that shows the entire bag from top to bottom.
This photo will be used as the thumbnail image for your listing. The background will automatically be removed. To ensure this is successful, make sure the photo backdrop is as neutral and unobstructed as possible.
