eBay Photo Tips – Show Off Your Custom Figure!
Tags: Custom Figure Reviews, customs, eBay, photo, tips
Part of the fun I have writing this blog is trolling eBay and looking at all of the Custom Figures people have made from week to week. For the most part, seller’s on eBay do not photograph their items very well and this is a definite drawback and customizers need to take note! Let’s face it…people buying your customs want to see every minute detail! Here are some tips for photographing your customs:
Include Multiple Photos of your Custom
A picture does speak a thousand words and this is what ultimately will sell your custom and, in turn, make you the money. You can have a nice description and that helps but you need to take the money shots: photos that highlight all of the hard work you poured into your custom.
Use Proper Lighting
Nothing ruins a great picture more than bad lighting. There are many cheap solutions to solving lighting problems. One of those is Photo Studio in a Box, an inexpensive lighting solution that costs $99 and includes two lights, a backdrop, and a tripod. Using proper lighting decreases the chances of blurry photos, which you should never include (if you have taken a blurry photo, retake the shot).
Avoid Background Clutter in the Photo
As poor lighting can kill a photo, extra stuff that shows up with your custom in the photo can also be deadly! Make sure that you do not include any extras in your photos as you want to show off your great custom.
Here is a really bad example of a custom that is currently on eBay:
