Guidelines for good images

  • Remove accessories
  • As pictured, the dimensions need to match the length/height/width above
  • Take the picture from as straight overhead as possible to reduce perspective distortion
  • Use a white background like printer paper
  • Use multiple light sources to minimize shadows
  • Avoid glare (lighting/flash and stainless finishes)
