You want potential buyers to see the best presentation of your vehicle, and the landscape format does this the best on the ClassicCars.com site. While you can upload a portrait image, we strongly suggest you stay clear of doing that. Uploading a portrait image does not fully fill the space used, thus leaving empty blank space.

Lighting is everything - Make sure your photos are taken in good daylight, if in a garage, make sure you have a very well-lit area. A Professional will tell you best day shots are 8am to 10am, and just before evening (depending on time of year, about two-hours before sunset). Daylight in the midafternoon can be too bright on some occasions and cause your pictures to capture what is known as Lens Flare. If you're in an overcast area, or an overcast day, anytime will produce an acceptable picture.

Center and fill the area - While taking an artistic shot where your car is in a corner of the image and you're trying to show off the scenery of your location, it is strongly suggested to avoid the more artistic shot. You want your vehicle to be centered in the image and fill the image space as much as possible. Try to avoid shots where there's too much sky on top, or too much street on the bottom, you want to present your vehicle, not the scenery around it.

Close ups and focused - When taking a close-up shot make sure nothing but the vehicle is in the close-up. A clear, sharp focus to your images is also key, whether a long shot or close-up. Buyers are more likely to dismiss a car that appears out-of-focus because they are unable to see vivid details.
