Check out this comprehensive guide to to help you do this. <a href=\"https:\/\/trademe.tmcdn.co.nz\/others\/pdf\/photoguide.pdf\">Photoshoot Guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best shots for showing off your car are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>From the front \u2013 stand out to one side so you get the front and the length of the car, to maximise how much of it you can fit in the photo.<\/li><li>From the back \u2013 again, stand out to one side and take a shot of the back and down the length of the car.<\/li><li>Side on \u2013 getting in all tyres and panelling.<\/li><li>Stand outside and photograph the interior through an open window\/door.<\/li><li>Dashboard &#8211; show the odometer reading and any alert lights that may come on.<\/li><li>With the hood of the car open, showing off the engine.<\/li><li>Any service papers or licencing that you would like to include.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other photo taking tips include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Take photos in front of a plain background, e.g. a neutral wall \u2013 ideally, one that is lighter in colour than the car so it stands out.<\/li><li>The best time of day to take photos is a couple of moments before the sun is either rising or setting. This way the light isn\u2019t too harsh against the car paint.<\/li><li>Hold your camera low to the ground, about the height of the bonnet.<\/li><li>Photograph any outstanding features close-up.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to import a car from people who know their stuff?
