Sellers: 7 tips for product photos that sell

Light, background, details: small moves with a simple phone make a big difference.

Light and background

1. Shoot near a window, in daylight, without flash. 2. Place the item on a plain background: a plain cloth, a light sheet or a white wall.

Show the real item

3. One photo from the front, one from the back, one from the side. 4. A close-up of the fabric, label, stitching or the screen turned on. 5. Defects too: an informed buyer doesn't complain.

Give scale and use

6. A worn or in-hand photo helps imagine the size. 7. Keep the same framing for all your products: your shop looks more professional.

On Mokolo, buyers can ask about a precise detail of a photo: good photos mean fewer questions and more sales.
