- Any visible flaw, close-up.
Category-specific extras
- Clothing: flat-lay measurements with a ruler.

- Furniture: pull-out drawers, joinery underneath.
- Sneakers: soles; interior tag; both shoes together.
Light matters more than camera
A phone photo in even window light beats a DSLR photo under kitchen overheads. Shoot mid-morning or late afternoon near a window.
