@@AvanteAvenue I remembered that you said he was a retired teacher. Mine as well. 7th grade Science. Been a year and we are getting used to it. He does miss most parts of it too.
@@AvanteAvenue He won't do social media. Said it was too dangerous as a teacher and now that he's retired "it's a time waster". He's not a fan of eBay either. 😞
Thank you for that video! I’ve been reselling for a year and photographing items is still my biggest struggle. I learned a lot of great tips in this video.

Thank you so much, I took a photo yesterday of a black lacquer carved wood baby elephant and it looks horrible, I want to capture the joyful look of this sweet carving as he is playing with a ball and his trunk is in the air and his ears are wide open and flapping, he is so sweet but oh my picture is horrible. Going to try all Marks techniques! So grateful!!!
Vickie, you read my mind again! Thanks to Mark for explaining his process, it was very helpful! I have difficulty getting colors to match what I see (aka What you see is what you get), so I will give ProCamera a try! I use List Perfectly to cross post and use Photoroom that's provided with the subscription. It's great!! Please keep your great videos coming! You two are the best!!
Our photos wouldn't look a fraction of what they do without using the PhotoRoom app to process them (remove background and replace with white or black). Love that app! Thanks Maggie!
we asked, you responded and I LOVED the tips for photgraphing reflective objects. no matter how i tried i couldnt get good pics and this was very helpful. i need a Mark! lol
Thanks for sharing your photography setup. I also love PhotoRoom. My biggest challenge is the lighting so you gave me ideas there. Your pictures are always stunning.
Thanks for another great video! I especially had an 'aha' moment when Mark spoke about photographing shiny dark objects, & how the glare 'washes out' the color. I'm looking forward to trying out his tips! Janett
Thank you, Mark for sharing your process for photographing the listings. Very helpful especially showing how you adjust to accommodate different colored items.
What a nice Saturday surprise!! Thank you for sharing with us!! I used my Photoroom trial last year but I think now I am going to purchase it. I feel the cost will be recouped easily by creating better quality photos!! You two work so well together!! So loving and kind to each other ~ which is part of the reason you are some of my favorite content creators!! Have a fabulous weekend!! ~Tammy
Wow I can’t tell you how much this helped me. I use both apps as well. You’ve helped me finally understand glare, as silly as that sounds. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us this ❤️
Now this was a nice surprise. Thanks Mark for teaching us how to improve our photos. I love almost everything about selling on eBay but taking pictures. Hopefully my photos will improve with yours and Vickie's suggestions.
The lighting set up is fantastic. I am probably going to get rid of my light box and try this approach. I always struggle with clear glass, so this has cleared up several mysteries. Thanks, Mark and Vickie!
I have used the white and black posterboard backgrounds in the past. I also use foam boards. I have some that give you like an industrial metal plate kind of aesthetic. I also have some with a nice wood pattern.
Very helpful video. Any tips on how to best photograph sequins on a jacket. I can never get them to shine or show how reflective they are. Thank you again,
Great tutorial, Mark, thank you! Are you using daylight bulbs and what is the wattage? I've been having lighting issues and this video was very helpful!

Thank you, Deigh!
You’re welcome Deigh!
Yep, a born teacher! Well done and thank you both.
Yes, in fact he is! Thank you!
@@AvanteAvenue I remembered that you said he was a retired teacher. Mine as well. 7th grade Science. Been a year and we are getting used to it. He does miss most parts of it too.
Maybe he could start a RUclips channel! Just know that it’s hard to get monetized, if at all, if you’re teaching children.

Thanks Mark!
He says you’re welcome and thank you!
Great tips as always
Thank you, Karen!

A big "Thank You!!" for this video! Shiny & reflective items have always been the bane of my Ebay existence. 🙂
And a big, you’re welcome! Yes, these type of items can be challenging. Thank you!

You are so welcome! I didn’t know that list perfectly was offering free PhotoRoom. How much are they charging for that service? Thank you!
I think it's pretty even before running it through the app!
Thank you Carrie!
Thank you, Mark!
You’re welcome! Mark says thank you!
Thank you for the great tutorial, i have to be the world's worst photographer, hopefully i can make some improvements.

So helpful! I have a ton of crystal that I have put off listing because I have problems getting good shots. Thanks Mark & Vickie! 😊

You're welcome! Thank you!
Thank you! This was helpful.
Wonderful! Thanks Carrie!
Definitely some good tips. I like using the darker backgrounds, too, for the most part. White just gets me mad…lol!
Nice tutorial.
Wonderful! Thank you!
Thank you, Mark for sharing your process for photographing the listings. Very helpful especially showing how you adjust to accommodate different colored items.
Mark says you are so welcome! Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial! I always wondered how Photoroom worked and never heard of ProCamera so now I know.
You are so welcome! Glad it’s helpful!
Thank you so much for your informative videos. Mark did a very good job teaching. Appreciate you both.

Happy to hear it was helpful! Thank you, Carmen!
Great information!! I also hate the shadows, so stubborn! I’m gonna give photo room a try ❤
Thank you! We love the app. It has an annual fee but it’s a tax write off!
I can’t thank you enough for making this video!!
Wonderful! Thank you Carol!

nice photo booth
Thank you! It looks a little crazy, but it works!

Awesome! Thanks!
Thank you!
I have used the white and black posterboard backgrounds in the past. I also use foam boards. I have some that give you like an industrial metal plate kind of aesthetic. I also have some with a nice wood pattern.
Different backgrounds can be fun. Sometimes, I've done that with shoes. Thank you!
Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Very helpful video. Any tips on how to best photograph sequins on a jacket. I can never get them to shine or show how reflective they are. Thank you again,
Happy to hear it was helpful! Sorry though, I have no experience in photographing sequins.
How does Mark go to the square format on pro camera app. Love the photography tutorial. Thanks MarkMark
In the procamera app, look for the 9 dots. Open that up for more features. Aspect ratio 1:1 for square. Hope that helps. Thanks Mary!
Great tutorial, Mark, thank you! Are you using daylight bulbs and what is the wattage? I've been having lighting issues and this video was very helpful!
The bulbs are 5000K Daylight and 8.5W, 850 Lumens LED. Hope that helps! Thank you!
@@AvanteAvenue It does. Thank you so much!
What type bulbs are you using? Do you have a link for the light fixture or the type it is? Thank so very much for this video !
Sorry it took awhile Carol. Mark says they are GE 8.5W 5000K 650 Lumens BR30 LED lamp. The closest we can find on Amazon is (link below) GE Daylight 8.5W 5000K 650 Lumens BR30 Classic LED lamp 6 pack

Is the photo room a free app.
Oh, no it's not free. I stated that up front in the video to avoid any misconception. Thanks Mary.
Thank you! Very informative ❤
Wonderful! Thank you!
