Great photos can make or break your listing. Learn professional techniques to showcase your items beautifully and attract more buyers in Guyana.

Essential Equipment

You don't need expensive gear - just your smartphone and these basics:

• Clean lens (wipe with microfiber cloth)
• Good lighting (natural is best)
• Stable surface or tripod (or steady hands)
• Clear background

Lighting is Everything

Natural Light is Best

• Shoot during "golden hour" (early morning or late afternoon)
• Position item near windows
• Avoid harsh midday sun
• Overcast days provide soft, even lighting

Indoor Photography

• Open curtains/blinds for natural light
• Turn on all room lights
• Avoid using flash (creates harsh shadows)
• Use white sheets as reflectors

Composition Tips

Multiple Angles

• Front view (main photo)
• Back view
• Both sides
• Top-down view
• Close-ups of important details
• Any defects or damage (be honest!)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Blurry photos (hold steady!)
• Poor lighting (too dark or washed out)
• Cluttered backgrounds
• Only one photo (provide 5-10 images)
• Photos taken in messy rooms
