Photography Tips

A Clean Ride
Presenting a clean motorcycle enables potential buyers to assess your motorcycle in its raw and current condition. A clean motorcycle offers buyers the opportunity to observe any imperfections that may be obscured by dust, dirt, or grime. Please take your time and thoroughly clean and maintain your motorcycle for presentable condition in your images.

Choose a good location
For optimal results, it is preferable to conduct the entire photoshoot outdoors. Unless adverse weather conditions prevent the motorcycle from being outside. Refrain from capturing photos in your driveway or in front of your residence. Instead, transport the motorcycle to a spacious or picturesque outdoor setting devoid of other vehicles, individuals, or distracting elements.

• Avoid busy and crowded locations
• Try to use a neutral backdrop
• Try to conduct the photoshoot in open shade, particularly during overcast weather conditions, or in the late afternoon sunlight.
• Avoid showing personal details (such as home or business)
• Get all necessary photos in one location

While engaging a professional photographer to capture images of your motorcycle is optimal, not everyone has access to this opportunity. However, photographing your motorcycle independently can be straightforward by adhering to our simple guide. Please use the photos below for reference. • Please shoot with your device horizontally
• Please use the latest smart phone, a professional camera, or digital camera
• Please ONLY shoot in a 4:3 or 3:2 aspect Ratio
• Do not use 16:9 wide or 3:3 square format
• Remove Licence plates before the photoshoot

Editing photos
Only edit to enhance the overall image. Do Not remove imperfections and flaws from the motorcycle.

Guide to getting the important angles – Let’s start with the 8 most basic angles of your motorcycle. Pictured below is 360° walk-around we require you to include at the beginning of the listing.

• Utilize a tripod or monopod to maintain consistent height and distance for each image, ensuring uniformity across the photo set

• For a seamless walk-around photo set, it’s recommended to stick to one focal length for the entire photoshoot. A 35mm lens or its equivalent is ideal for achieving this consistency
Documentation
If you possess service records or other relevant documents, it’s advisable to include pictures of them in the listing. However, ensure that any personal information such as names, phone numbers, addresses, emails, etc., is appropriately covered or obscured before uploading the images.

• Service Records (personal information covered or obscured)
• Manual(s)
• Keys
• Vehicle Identification Numbers
• Build sheet
Video
Please create a brief 360° walk-around video of the motorcycle, ensuring it runs. Please record the motorcycle’s cold starting and idling. While warming up, please do a full walk-around showing close ups of imperfections and flaws. While not mandatory, we recommend revving the motorcycle to confirm it’s in good running condition.

Please upload this video to YouTube and provide us with a link upon submitting your motorcycle.
