       About Me

I've been a regular on eBay since 1999, mostly specializing in selling photo equipment. From the first, I realized not only was it important to know my products, but also to present them in clear, professional-looking auctions. That meant really good photos.

Fortunately, I had been an avid photographer for years. I even turned professional for a while, doing magazine illustrations and product photography for some ad agencies and companies in the Philadelphia area.

I left that business years ago, but when I discovered eBay, I also discovered a new outlet for my interests in both photo equipment and photography. Not only do I regularly take photos for my eBay listings, but I also participate in eBay discussion and chat boards about photography, sharing what I know and learning from other ebay photographers.

My Guides to eBay Auction Photography

Photography for eBay auctions is product photography and it's one of the most demanding tasks in this field. Starting with a couple of online eBay workshops I hosted, I've developed a series of guides to help people through the tough spots, with emphasis on inexpensive and easy ways to do the job.

My eBay Photography Blog

Since I can't always get around to updating my Guide pages with new info, I've started an eBay blog where I can post new info from time to time. I'll be using the blog to post random thoughts about product photography and also to answer questions I've been asked.
