How bad are my pictures?

I'm so frustrated! I tried to edit my pics to a vintagey feel. But now I think they just look plain horrible. I've spent hours trying to get them just right :/ Anybody else having trouble with their pics or have any advice?

I don't think your pictures are bad at all!
Maybe some are a little too dark, but that's just me being picky.

Your shorts are all super cute too btw!

Some might be a little bit dark but they aren't "bad".
Whatever you did here

Do it again and again and again :)

Cute shorts! The only thing that jumped out was the plastic hangers. Maybe try old fashioned clothes pins on a clothesline instead? Otherwise, I think you did a great job with the vintage tint, but a bit more contrast might make them pop a bit.

They don't look bad, may be the ones with clear backgrounds look better but if you had so many sales in so short time you shouldn't mind at all. Can be sure that your photos are selling.

Re: How bad are my pictures?

Thanks so much guys! I guess they aren't as bad as I thought they were.

@Ciella- I love those too! If they were my size i would keep them for my self!

@Natalie- I like that pic to! I can't figure out how to do it again though, I guess I just got the lighting at a perfect time.

@WishDesign Studio- That's an awesome idea! I never thought of that.

That = AWESOME.

Just sayin'.

I would maybe brighten it up a little, but it looks very vintage just the way it is. Your photos look great, though!

I love the idea of clothespins on a clothesline. Maybe some unfocused outdoor background as a backdrop.

My personal opinion is that most of your pictures are too dark. The shorts don't "jump" out at you. I'm not a photographer and struggle with my own, so take that for what it's worth!

I think your pictures are fine. If you have access to a live model who happens to fit your shorts that would be awesome too. I assume your shorts are different sizes so that's probably not possible.

I think they are great, Except the rounded corners. I wouldnt do that anymore. Its obvious your buyers think the pics are good too, you have sold alot for just opening!

The pictures look fine to me, maybe lighten them up a little. Your sections should be the sizes, so people don't have to click on every one of your shorts to see their size. It makes things easier.

Re: How bad are my pictures?

I think your photos are really cute. I agree they are a bit dark, but so are vintage stores - and if that's the look you're going for... then you've achieved it.

I think your pictures are fine. Your sales are great so others must think they are fine too.

I like the darker look of your pictures. I think it adds to the product

Re: How bad are my pictures?

I like your pics... and anyways, looks like they have worked for you! (I mean for the 84 sales in less than two months), so why would you worry so much? :)

Anyways, photos are a pain for everyone. It has also taken ages for me to figure out what kind of pics I was comfortable with :)

Re: How bad are my pictures?

I like your pics too, although I think wooden clothepins would look nicer. But your shorts do look nice, no distracting background and as long as the colors are close to real life, I wouldn't change them.

Re: How bad are my pictures?

I like your pictures, but they do come off as a little dark. I'd be afraid that when I receive my shorts, they would not be the color that I thought they were. It wouldn't be significantly a different color, but it would be darker or lighter than I thought in some cases.
