Choosing the right pictures
Nice pictures will ensure a pleasant visit to your shop and encourage the potential buyer to make a purchase.
Some important points to consider when choosing pictures to showcase the item you wish to sell:
-
Wash and iron
Before you start, make sure the item is presented in the same way and in its best light as in a real shop.
-
PhotoRoom Studio Photo Editor
(recommended)We strongly recommend that you download and use this application to apply a white background to some of your pictures (excluding the pictures of the item being worn).
Here are the download links:
-
Go for natural daylight
Choose bright, natural daylight (no flash) to render the true colours and condition of the item. Make sure there is no backlighting.
-
Picture quality
Make sure that pictures taken in a neutral environment are sharp and avoid unnecessary additions (photo filter, written commentary on the picture, etc.).
-
Act as a model
Take one or two teaser pictures of the item being worn. This will give the buyer an idea of its cut and length.
-
Photograph the item from the front…
Lay it flat or on a hanger, take a picture of the whole item and apply a white background using the PhotoRoom application.
-
Then from all angles
Photograph it from the side, from the back, and then zoom in on any finishing touches that are worth highlighting: a pretty embroidery, a glittery belt…
-
No hidden defects !
An anomaly, an unremovable stain, a sign of wear or any other defect should be photographed and mentioned in the listing.
-
Brand and authentication
To prove authenticity, especially when it is a luxury brand, it is essential to show the details of the item (logo, invoice/certificate, labels, seams, etc.).
Happy selling on Clozen!
