How to prep a
depop photo.
Shoot with character
Depop buyers reward shots that feel like a styled lookbook. Shoot on a model, against a textured wall, in natural light. Aesthetic matters more than clinical accuracy.
Use inkurs for backdrop swaps
Have a great on-body shot but your room is messy? Use background changer to drop into a clean wall or aesthetic scene.
Don't over-process
Depop's audience can tell when photos look 'too clean' — too corporate. Background removal is fine for cover shots; keep at least 2 of your 4 photos raw-styled for authenticity.
Show fit, fabric, label
Of your 4 photos: 1 styled cover, 1 fit shot, 1 fabric detail, 1 label/tag/condition. Inkurs helps with the first; the rest stay raw.
