I have rings, earrings, bracelets, pendants and talismans made and ready to be sold. So what is taking me so long to set up this Etsy shop and get them on the market? The photos are the obstacle.
I hope that this does not turn into a rant but I’m sure that it will take me more than one blog to explain what I feel are jewelry photo requirements for the internet presently and to which standard I must comply.
Let me start with the number of photos to be taken and manipulated. An Etsy store presentation allows for one main photo and 5 thumbnails of each object. That makes 6 photos. To get 6 valid photos one must do a minimum of 2 exposure settings per view. 6 times 2 makes 12 photos per object.
I import the photos to a photo software for final selection, two clicks of contrast and color correction, cropping, sizing and preparation for web and devices.
I am presently planning on showing 20 objects in my shop so am looking at taking and elaborating 240 photos. I can see no way to batch process them so it looks like a mountain of time and work to me.
