Photograph from the frontYou want your first photo to be a photo made from the front of the item. This of course matters less if the items doesn’t have a clear front side.
Show the whole itemBuyers on Whoppah love to see the whole item to give a clear understanding of what they will be buying.
No back lightMake sure the item is lit from the front side, preferably with just natural (day)light. When light comes from the back it makes it more difficult to properly view the item.
Good lightingMake sure there is enough (natural) light so the item looks just like in real life and every detail is visible.
Clean up your stuffYour item needs to be photographed without other items lying close, around or on your item. We want to clearly see the item.

Proof of brand or qualityShow proof of brand so we know it’s the real deal. If it’s signed, photograph the signature.
Neutral backgroundUse a neutral background so the item is clearly visible.
