How to Photograph Electronics and Gadgets for Marketplaces

Electronics buyers care about condition, completeness and authenticity — your photos should answer all three.

Simple setup you can do at home

  • A window with indirect daylight (no direct sun) or two inexpensive LED panels.
  • A sheet of white foam board or paper as a backdrop and a second one as a reflector.
  • Your phone on a small tripod; turn off the flash and use the main (1×) lens.
  • Clean the product and remove dust, fingerprints and loose threads before shooting.

Screens and glossy surfaces

  • Turn the screen on with a simple bright image or turn it fully off — avoid reflections of your room.
  • Shoot at a slight angle to move reflections away.
  • Clean with a microfibre cloth first.

Used electronics checklist

  • Serial / IMEI label (blur part of it if you prefer)
  • All ports and buttons
  • Battery health or shutter count screenshot
  • Accessories and box
  • Every scratch, clearly lit
