Photography Tips

1. Fill the frame. Move closer to the item to minimize any dead space. Try to get eye level with the item you are taking a photo of.

2. The more the merrier! Try to take at least 4 photos of each item. Following our Guidelines page will help. Always try to show the entire lot, a second angle of the lot, any manufacturer’s labels, and close ups of any noticeable defects/damage to the item.

3. Let there be light! Take photos in a well-lit environment.

4. Clean your room! You want to showcase the lot itself. Remove any potential distractions such as items on the floor or table tops.

5. Measure up. Hold a ruler or tape measure next to smaller items to display their size. You can hold a coin next to jewelry pieces. For larger pieces, take a photo of someone holding the item or standing next to it for the bidder to understand the true scale.
