Dear eleena100,

With regards to your question on photographing garments, bed sheets and pillow covers
- Its best to place garments on a mannequin as it displays exactly how the garment will look when worn.

With regards to background and lighting as it is a large product you can simply add a white sheet behind the item. In case of light colour garments try using darker colour plain backgrounds.

Lighting is very simple. All you need is a main light or diffused light that falls directly on the item.

With regards to bed sheets and cushion covers its best to take them on the bed or on a cushion as it clearly shows how how it will look.

Try using natural light for the pillow cover and bedsheets.
Regards,
Preeti

Dear snrama

I totally agree to your statement, "Good Pictures always tempt a buyer to comit for purchase".

With regards to your question, Picture Manager allows you to water mark your images. As you have not been using it, you can subscribe to Picture manager and import pictures from all your existing listings and add a water mark to it. You can also add your logo to Picture Manager and water mark it.

I hope this answers your question.
Regards,
Preeti

Hi Priti,

we have tried taking photographs of jewellery and clothes as per tips provided by you and the results have been encouraging.

My pictures are much better than before and I think they are presentable.

We had been thinking of selling jewellery and clothes in the international market since last 1 year but the photos of jewellery clicked by us were so poor that we shelved the project.

Now we have already started the paperwork for exports and would be selling internationally within next 1-2 months.

Thanks once again and do post such tips so that community is benefited.

Best Regards
