They're new so hopefully they'll realize just how awful their product shots are.Originally Posted by whodini
Are you serious? Their pictures are much better than most, including certain SF affiliates...

I really like the Stel's guys. They were a bright light in an otherwise non-stellar Boston shopping scene. The shots of the tops are pretty good, but the shots of the bottoms could really use some tweaking. I think that that downward angle is not really flattering.

The shoes aren't shot great, but everything else I see was shot really well. Pictures big enough to see some details! Amazing. Shots of the pants look fine to me.
The general horrible-ness of the pictures available from online clothing retailers is an ongoing peeve of mine, and this is definitely on the better side. I can't think of a place with better pictures off the top of my head, actually.
Another thing I like: the guy modeling the Geller stuff is my size! That never happens.

Agree with Whodini, many of the photos are bad... but frankly, very few stores get it right.
Some simple things they missed -
- If the clothes are wrinkly as ****, steam/iron them.
- Take clear front-on and back photos, maybe a side on and inner shots if the item warrants it... and be consistent at it. Its terrible to see a mish-mash of different model poses on the same page.
- Don't overdo photo compression to save a few KB. Feels like many of their shots were output at 50% quality or so / lack sharpness.

Cross Posted with the Sales Alert page:
I just ordered the W+H chambray vest from Stel's. They have a great selection of items, but their terms & conditions are just insane. I'd never pay full price there.
$15 domestic shipping. Exchange for same item only in different size. And worst of all... they give you 24 hrs to request a refund, which then has to arrive back in there shop within 5 days. You really strike out if an item doesnt fit. $15 shipping then have to pay for rushed shipping back.
Hopefully, we can make them an affliate and cure them of their misguided ways. For example, the clothing photos are great... but the shoes pictures are absurd.
