Light Reveals Finish
Use broad and diffused light to control reflections on resin and metal. A neutral background keeps focus on the item and helps represent the color.
Overly edited photographs can hide marks and create false expectations. Adjust only what is necessary for accuracy.
A Useful Sequence
Capture the pen closed, open, feather, ink feed, clip, emblem, inscriptions, mechanism, and accessories. Include details of any damage.
A scale or measurements provided complement the images. For sale, clarity generates more trust than perfect appearance.
