Improving your photos for Kijiji

Most of the pictures of items folks want to sell on Kijiji are in need of improvement.

Round light reflectors with shiny silver and plain white on either side can be bought at camera shops and fold for storage.

Make sure you centre the object evenly so it looks balanced and proportionally right.

Shadows stay soft and your precious crystal as these before and after photos show, becomes…priceless!.
