# Choose a good photo

Simple framing and lighting tips for a stronger starting point.

## Show the shape

Frame the whole object with some space around it. A three-quarter view often shows both the front and the side, making its volume easier to understand.

## Keep the details visible

Use soft, even light and a sharp image. If the object blends into the background, try a different angle or a simpler setting.

## Photograph small parts

For a handle, accessory or detail attached to a larger object, a closer photo makes selection easier. Keep the part fully visible so you can trace or refine its outline.
