How to photograph it

  • Hold the phone at about seat height and step back a little, or use the 2× lens, so the legs do not splay.
  • Shoot it three-quarter on, so both arms, the seat and the back are in view.
  • Clear the clutter around the chair. A plain wall or floor behind it makes it easier to put the chair in a new setting.
  • Take a close-up of the fabric and the wood grain. Those details are the ones to check in any AI image.
  • AI rooms can make a chair look bigger or smaller than it is, so put the real measurements in the listing.

Questions sellers ask

Is a styled room photo OK for an armchair listing?

Yes, as an extra photo. Keep at least one photo of the real chair on a plain background, and say in the listing when a room scene was made with AI.

What background suits a studio armchair shot?

A plain, softly lit warm grey or white backdrop with a soft shadow on the floor. It keeps the eye on the chair and works as the first photo on most marketplaces.

Do Christmas photos belong on a listing?

They suit seasonal posts and holiday collections better than the main listing image. Put the studio shot first and use the Christmas scene in your holiday campaign.
