taking photos for Ebay/etsy listings

[jonny pallisey]

This is for folk who are posting stuff on ebay etc what would you say is a great set up just for this ? iv been taking my photos outdoors[iphone or old fujifilm finepix] in good light but my images never have a wow factor .Would you say use an editing programme on each image every time?

thanks for that ,very good info there .Dyou think that taking photos indoors[ of for example a shoe] with good lighting is better for results than outdoors in good light

The key thing is whether the lighting makes the shoe look like you want it to. Indoors you can control the light, but outside that is more difficult.

As for images having a wow factor, that's extremely unlikely straight out of camera, and some kind of image processing software is likely to help.
