How to shoot to make it easier to identify

Take a clear picture of the overall shape, interface, scale, material and brand information

The purpose of an item often comes from its shape, connection methods, and text identification.

Multi-angle shooting is more reliable than a single part

Front, side, back and nameplates can reduce misidentification of similar items.

Preserve usage environment

Kitchen countertops, tool boxes, display cabinets, packaging or instructions can add clues of purpose.

Hazardous goods or appliance repairs should seek professional help

Do not disassemble, power on, or try out unknown equipment for identification purposes.
