Standard angles record the starting condition and help everyone work from the same evidence.
Photographs to include
- Front, back and both sides.
- Top opening and the base with its four corners.
- Handles, straps and attachments.
- Hardware, lining and close-ups of problems.
Shop procedure
- Use consistent backgrounds and lighting.
- Include the complete outline in overall views.
- Pair each close-up with a wider view showing its location.
- Store the files against the job number.
Close-ups alone lose positional context. Beauty filters and automatic smoothing can also destroy useful condition evidence.
