Photograph the back, the seam, and the underside

Doshe Journal

The pretty face of a piece is what you want to show. The back is what they will live with — the hanging wire, the foot ring, the stitch that holds the strap. If you skip those photos, the first message will be the question you already knew.

One daylight shot of the front. One that shows the reverse. One of the join, the rim, or the place a hand will actually touch. That is enough. Filters are optional. Honesty is not.

I would rather a listing on Doshe look slightly unfinished than look like a catalog that never turned the object around. People buy what they can inspect.
