Image Guidelines

Sharp, evenly lit evidence increases review confidence. Capture the full silhouette first, then move closer for hardware, coding, interiors, and wear detail.

Before you start

Use indirect daylight or soft studio light. Avoid heavy shadows and flash hotspots.

Keep the item square to camera for silhouette and serial views so proportions do not distort.

Photograph each required angle as a separate frame instead of one collage or video still.

Handbags
Leather goods, totes, shoulder bags, mini bags
Capture silhouette, handle shape, hardware wear, stitching consistency, serial labels, and interior construction.

Place the bag upright in soft daylight and capture silhouette, hardware, interior, and base wear in separate frames.

  • Front full silhouette
  • Back panel and seams
  • Bottom corners and feet
  • Hardware close-up
  • Date code or serial area
  • Interior lining and logo stamp

Watches

Focus on dial printing, caseback engravings, movement indicators, clasp construction, and serial registration points.

Keep the dial square to camera, then add serial, caseback, clasp, and side-profile detail shots in even light.

  • Straight-on dial shot
  • Side profile of case
  • Caseback engraving
  • Bracelet clasp or buckle
  • Serial or reference number
  • Movement or exhibition back if present

Final capture checklist

Silhouette and profile frames show the full item edge to edge.

Every code, hallmark, or interior stamp is sharp enough to zoom.

Packaging or prior paperwork stays optional and should never replace required item shots.
