Use a plain background, daylight, a clean lens and two or three angles of the actual product. Avoid watermarks, borrowed images and heavy filters.
Key takeaways
- Real photos beat borrowed ones.
- Daylight and a plain background are enough.
- Show the label, ports and the product in full.
01Set up
- Place the product on a plain table or sheet.
- Use daylight near a window.
- Wipe the lens.
- Hold the phone steady.
02Shots to take
- Front view of the whole product.
- A close-up of the model label.
- Ports or connectors.
- The box and accessories.
03What to avoid
- Watermarks and logos from other shops.
- Images copied from other websites.
- Heavy filters.
- Cluttered backgrounds.
04Keep files tidy
Name files by model, e.g. model name and angle, so you can find them later. Photos are uploaded through your vendor dashboard.
05Why photos decide more than you think
Buyers cannot touch your goods, so a photo is their only inspection. A sharp photo of the label tells them the model is real. A photo of the ports tells them it fits. A photo of the box contents tells them what they will receive. Each of those answers a question that would otherwise lead to a return or a lost order.
06A five-minute photo routine
- Clear a table and lay down a plain sheet.
- Take photos by a window in daylight.
- Shoot front, side, label, ports and contents.
- Review them on screen and delete blurry ones.
- Rename the files by model and angle.
07Equipment photo ideas by product type
- Cameras: front, side, lens close-up and the label.
- Recorders: front panel, back ports and the label.
- Switches: front ports, rear power and the label.
- Power equipment: nameplate, terminals and the whole unit.
- Cables: coil on a plain background with the label visible.
08Edit lightly and honestly
You can crop and brighten photos on any phone. Do not hide scratches, retouch labels or paste in a manufacturer's image. A photo that does not match the unit you deliver causes returns. Honest photos keep customers happy and protect your standing.
09A typical scenario
A supplier takes four phone photos of a recorder on a white sheet by the window and uploads them with the listing.
Illustrative example based on common cases, not a named vendor.

- Photos that do not match the product.
11Quick checklist
- Clean the lens.
- Use daylight.
- Shoot three angles.
- Name the files.
