    Step-by-Step Photography Guide

    1

    Set Up Good Lighting

    Use natural light whenever possible. Position yourself near a large window during daytime.

    • Avoid direct sunlight that creates harsh shadows
    • Use soft, diffused light for even illumination
    • If using artificial light, use multiple light sources
    • Avoid yellow/warm indoor lighting that distorts colors

    Choose a Clean Background

    Use a plain, neutral background to make your garments stand out.

    • White or light gray walls work best
    • Avoid busy patterns or cluttered backgrounds
    • Hang a white sheet if you don't have a clean wall
    • Keep the background consistent across all photos
    3

    Frame Your Garment Properly

    Capture the entire garment with some space around the edges.

    • Include the full garment from top to bottom
    • Leave some breathing room around the edges
    • Keep the garment centered in the frame
    • Hold your phone/camera steady and level
    4

    Ensure Sharp Focus

    Make sure your garment is in clear, sharp focus.

    • Tap on the garment on your phone screen to focus
    • Wait for the camera to adjust before taking the shot
    • Avoid camera shake by holding steady
    • Take multiple shots and choose the sharpest one

    Show the Garment Clearly

    Present your garment in a way that shows its true shape and details.

    • Lay flat or hang garments to avoid wrinkles
    • Smooth out any folds or creases
    • Show the front side of the garment
    • For detailed items, consider taking close-up shots too

    • Zoom in to check if small details are clear
