Selling Purses: Simple Steps To Take Pictures

You got any old designer purses and handbags laying around in your closet and you need the extra cash? Here’s how to take amazing pics so they could be sold quickly!

  1. Find a spot in your house with the most natural light. The bigger the window and the more sunlight, the better.
    • We have a bedroom in our house that has windows on three walls. So I opened all the windows and took these shots in the morning when the sun is the brightest.
  2. Create a backdrop. Fresh and simple is best. You can’t go wrong with white covers or sheets.
    • In this case the bedsheets are all white and actually Sophia left the accent pillows from the living room couch on this bed. So thank you, Phi Phi. 😉
  3. Set the bag standing up if possible, or laying down as if you just got home from a full day of shopping and you had to set it on your bed so you could pee in the bathroom. lol
  4. *Optional and only applies to iPhone X users* Set your camera to Portrait to get that blurred effect on the background to make sure the purse is the subject of the photo. If you don’t have an iphone X or DSLR camera, that’s totally fine. You can still take great shots!
  5. Take Multiple pictures of all the sides of the bag and make sure you take one of a close up to capture the material of the bag.

Voila! Now you have awesome pics of these bags and they’re soon to be someone else’s treasures.

Good Luck!! Let me know how it goes!!
