Photography
Photography brings an object to life. It
presents the form, condition, hues, color saturation, size, ware,
and detail. It is the most valuable tool in the online auction business.
For most 3-dimensional objects, a photograph of each of the four
sides, top and bottom, and close-up of details and condition issues
should be the norm. That would typically be seven or more photographs
per lot.
Production is an important factor when it
comes to photography. Speed is key to making
your business profitable. One could shoot more than a thousand images
for a large sale. Time and efficiency is essential.
