You just took a covershot of that stunning bracelet & all you got was a dark, blurry mess that resembles a dachshund in heat. Want an easy way to capture the beauty? Start with a dark fabric (I use a black curtain); add a few neutral knick-knacks & an accent (I'm partial to feathers); DON'T use a flash (it will wash out your colors); grab an LED flashlight to highlight your item; get just close enough to avoid the dreaded blur; SNAP IT! Enlarge your item when you list. TA-DA! Now, go to it, GF!

queenmumm @katjo TRUE DAT - natural light is THE BEST - except for those 2am listing sessions. Then we all become Poshing vampires who must hide away from the light lest it fry us into posh dust. Mwwwaahahahahaha.

micheleedesigns Great advice! How do you enlarge the item when you list? Thanks for any info.

Nov 03Reply

queenmumm @micheleedesigns I always photograph from the posh sales screen, backing out each time to take another photo until I have the angles I need. When I'm ready to list, I can bring up any of the previous pics by choosing the file option at the bottom right of the sell screen. I can then blow up on any part of the picture before applying one of the filters for covershot. Apply this same method to your other 3 pics. Hope that made sense!

Nov 03Reply

micheleedesigns Thanks for taking the time to write. Actually, i didn't realize that all the photos that I backed out of we're saved. But I just looked at my photo stream, and I see that they are all there. So, yes, I understand what your saying, up to the part where you say you can blow it up and choose any part of the photo. I have no idea how you can do that. Do you have a special app to do that? Thanks so much!

Nov 03Reply

queenmumm @micheleedesigns When you pull up the "sell" screen, touch the file icon on the bottom right instead of snapping a photo. This will pull up all photos saved on your device (all albums as well as photo stream). Choose one and then use your fingertips to enlarge the photo in the screen before you click the blue "choose" link. Everything then proceeds the same way as if you just took the photo.

Nov 03Reply

micheleedesigns I got it! Thank you so much, Brenda! I greatly appreciate the time you took to explain all of this to me. You are a sweetheart! What a pleasure it is to be here with so many wonderful women! What a brilliant idea it is to bring women together in this way! I hope I also sell clothes...LOL

shopherposh Thank you so much for sharing this! In my small studio I don't have much space but I can be creative! Plus take it outside too! Did you have a friend or your husband snap photos of you that you modeled? Or maybe a camera with a timer?

queenmumm @cody7150 Glad you like it! Good luck! :)

Nov 16Reply

queenmumm @geniferb2013 Yes, please give it a try and see if it helps with detail in your pics. Good luck! :)

Nov 16Reply

queenmumm @messerac Yes, my hubby helps me by taking photos outside when I'm in a great outfit. You can do the same on your own by setting your phone camera to video. Turn it on, strike a few poses and then take screen shots from your video! Got this tip at Poshfest. :)

Feb 13Reply

mizfabulousity @queenmumm ok .... I have No clue what an LED light is.... Don't laugh .....

Feb 24Reply

queenmumm @mizfabulousity Not laughing.... just a little giggle. LED is a higher intensity light than your regular run of the mill bulb. It is whiter in appearance so it doesn't yellow your item when you take the picture. As a scuba diver, I prefer LEDs as my go to for night diving because the beam reaches farther and is more brilliant. Hope this helps! :)

Feb 24Reply

mizfabulousity @queenmumm so it's a bulb that goes in A lamp? Ok a little giggle is fine .....😃

Feb 24Reply

queenmumm @mizfabulousity If you are buying bulbs for a regular household lamp, the fluorescents are being phased out in lieu of higher efficiency bulbs. As for flashlights, it's hard to find anything other than an LED these days. I still have a lot of old flashlights from boy scout outings but the bulbs for those are being phased out, too. You can buy bulk LED pocket lights at any walmart, sam's, etc. That's what I'm holding in the pic above.

Feb 24Reply

mizfabulousity @queenmumm ahhhhh got it!! I hadn't seen the hand held one above 👆cool great tip . I had no clue flashlights had changed Lol!!

Feb 24Reply

queenmumm @fuzzynavel I just read your post above regarding how to photograph black items to make them black and not purple, gray or brown. In lieu of outside photography, I find that using indirect lighting works best. A black item will appear black if you don't flood it with light in your home. iPhone flashes can be the worse culprits. Make sure the room is well lit but take a picture of the item in shadow. Then, using edit on iPhone, hit auto fix to bring up exposure if needed. This has worked for me - others may have different suggestions. Cheers, lovey! :)

Feb 24Reply

queenmumm @carlysmommma Thanks so much for your kind post! It's better to have us all successful on the app. Always happy to share the knowledge that has helped me. :)

Feb 24Reply

fuzzynavel @queenmumm did you know this is my nemesis? I have tons of black clothes that are gorgeous but do not post because I can't get them right. I'll try this one. This is when I really wish I had a degree in photography! Thanks for the advice.

Feb 24Reply

queenmumm @fuzzynavel It's still a struggle for me - sometimes I get it right but many times I hit just right of the bullseye. Good luck! :)

Feb 24Reply

fuzzynavel @queenmumm thanks. As far as the sales trends, do you anticipate upcoming trends such as holidays and/or what's new and popular?

1pickyshopper @queenmumm You were so helpful. Can you explain again when you share you use the edit button, than list, instead of using the share button😀😀

Feb 29Reply

queenmumm @lisasandler Hi Lisa! Yes, the fastest way to share your own closet on smartphone is to essentially "update" your listings without changing anything. Just click on the item, then "edit" "next" and "list". I can share 200 items in about 10 minutes this way. Also, if done during the three parties, it automatically sections out which items fit into the theme and adds them without additional thought. :)

Feb 29Reply

1pickyshopper @queenmumm Hi, does it automatically share it with the party going on and the followers. Do you find its better that you share 3 times a day with the party going on or sharing with share groups. I'm finding that I'm really not selling anything when I share in the parties.

Feb 29Reply

queenmumm @lisasandler I don't belong to a share group so I can make no comparison. I've found that using my method while systemically sharing from the master feed in 10-20 item batches produces very good results. I get a lot of return shares and likes. Don't discount the party hours since those 6 hours expand your exposure from just your follower feed to the possibility of every person registered on the app. :)

Feb 29Reply

1pickyshopper @queenmumm 200 items in 10 min, it takes me an hour❗️❗️❗️I must be doing something wrong, but your a professional and I'm not and still can't get the hang of this. Do you only use your phone and not an iPad? 1 more thing than I won't bug you,ha ha. When you do the sharing by using the edit button and their is a party going on does it automatically share to the party and the followers.?

Feb 29Reply

queenmumm @lisasandler Just try my process as stated above during each party. It will put theme appropriate items into the party automatically. The rest will be seen by your followers. For party items, I always click edit/next/list twice so the item will be sure to get in my follower feeds as well.
