The Daily Stork-How do you photograph pants for ebay listings?

Today, we received this question on our forum:

I am almost up with all my unlisted items BUT I have over 35 pants/jeans (men and woman) that needs to be listed. I have such a hard time taking pictures of those; Please let me know how take pictures of them.
I only have a half size mannequins so I am not able to put them on those. I’ve tried putting them on the bed but I can not get high up enough to take a decent picture .

Photographing pants can be tricky!! Little kids pants are fine…but adult pants are a)HUGE and hard to photograph well and b)weird to lay flat. But, never fear—your stork friends are here!! Here are some suggestions this member received.

Member elainelynn suggests: I lay them flat on the floor on my big piece of background fabric. I do sometimes stand on a chair to get a better perspective. Once you get going, it’s easy. Pic of the front, pic of the back, done!

Another member Caroline suggests: I hang my on hangers and take photos outside – if they’re maternity pants or skirts I no longer bother with the manni – takes too much time I agree.

So there you have it! Tune in tomorrow for the next Daily Stork Tip!
