Six angles a photo set should cover
The six angles are plain to list. One: the whole item, front on, filling the frame. Two: the reverse, or the outsole on a pair of shoes. Three: the size label with the marking legible. Four: the brand or wash label. Five: any flaw the photographer noticed, close enough to judge. Six: the packaging as it arrived, including the outer bag or box.
Each angle is a separate photo rather than a corner of one wide shot. A single image holding the item, its tag and its box at once is legible at none of them. The QC checklist itself runs to 19 tickable lines across four groups, and the six angles above are the ones that decide whether a set can support a decision at all.
What each angle rules out
The front view rules out the wrong item arriving, which happens more often than people expect when a sheet has several near-identical rows. The reverse rules out wear, repair or an aftermarket change that the front hides. The size label rules out the wrong size shipped, which is the one error that cannot be fixed by negotiation after the parcel leaves.
The brand or wash label rules out the copy that photographs well and reads wrong up close. The flaw close-up rules out the written complaint that says "there is a mark" without letting anyone judge it. The packaging shot rules out the argument about what condition the parcel was in when it arrived. Each photo removes one specific dispute.
The angle that gets left out
The size label is the one people skip. It is small, it is often inside the item, and it feels obvious when you already know what you ordered. It is also the only photo that settles a sizing dispute, and sizing disputes are the most common reason a return gets refused once the parcel has moved on.
A set missing that single photo cannot be scored properly, and the scorecard will say so rather than guessing. Take the tag shot first, before the item goes back in the bag. It costs ten seconds and it decides more arguments than the other five angles combined.
