Listing

Photo guide

Photos sell stone. These examples show what works and what gets a listing removed.

The four photos every slab listing needs

The full slab, standing, in daylight.
A close-up of the surface (about 60 × 60 cm).
A book-matched pair, if you sell matched slabs.
The edge with a tape measure, showing thickness.

Do this

Full slab in daylightStand back so the whole slab and its edges are in frame. Morning or late-afternoon light, no direct sun. Show the slab number.

Close-up of the surfaceAbout 60 × 60 cm, camera parallel to the slab. Shows veining, crystals and the finish.

Book-matched pairTwo consecutive slabs side by side, numbered. Buyers pay more for matched sets.

Thickness with a tapeThe broker measures this — show it first. ±1 mm is the tolerance.

Tiles: several faces laid togetherLay 4–6 tiles from the same box with grout gaps so buyers see the pattern repeat.

Tiles: the box labelShade code, batch, size and pieces per box readable.

Avoid this

Catalogue or watermarked imagesRemoved automatically and counted as a policy issue on your account health.

Sun glare or wet surfacesHides the veining and makes polished slabs look different from reality.

Too darkShoot outside or under daylight LEDs. Phone night mode distorts colour.

CroppedAlways include one photo of the whole slab with its edges.

Camera settings
