3. ANGLES - close up angle shots offers a subtle artistic touch to your COVER PHOTO
Your listing should POP OUT next to your competition
Which could be between 5-20 or more listings

4. Backgrounds
Another great touch to your product photos is to shoot them on some sort of background
I like to shoot a lot of my photos on wood
I feel it makes the entire photo more visually pleasing
And I believe it influences the buyer in small subtle ways

Conversely, many people prefer to shoot their photos on plain white backgrounds
This puts all the focus on the product allowing the buyer to easily see and inspect the product
I alternate between a wood background and white background depending on the product

5. Lighting/Light boxes
Lighting is the most critical aspect in photography
Get it wrong & your photos will suffer
Natural lightâs unpredictable
Itâs better to manipulate & control the lighting using lights & a light box
If youâre handy there are plenty of DIY options

You can always purchase a light box from Amazon, EBay or a Photography store
Iâm not gonna attempt to teach lighting here
There are many variables and potential setups and as I said, Iâm no Photographer
I suggest doing a google search and educate yourself

My reason for this thread was to emphasize the importance of good photos
These are just my opinions & there are different schools of thought
I prefer my photos to stand out next to the stock photos you see with so many listings
