The website is really nice. Clean design! If these guys consider upgrading the imagery (background and lighting) they are going to have one heck of an online showroom.

Thanks for the input! I'd love to hear your feedback on the background/lighting. In this thread or feel free to PM as to not derail this thread.

If you build a booth that is too good AND is too sterile, the photos look like stock photos (see top of this photo)

If a store builds something like that I would recommend taking the approach similar to Carvana, where you take pictures of any small imperfections. This would add confidence that these are actual images.

It is also surprising that some dealers are still paying for such a nice booth but not paying attention to the details. Crooked steering wheel, paper mats, heated seats not activated, poor interior angles.

✨ AI Highlights

George Nenni asks the DealerRefresh community to share standout dealer examples of new and used vehicle photography, covering both indoor photo booths and natural light setups. The thread draws limited responses, with one dealer sharing their own site (dariusmotorsport.com) and receiving feedback from Nenni that image file sizes were too small — recommending at least 250KB for final images rather than 100KB thumbnails. The practical takeaway is that photo quality standards matter beyond composition alone, with image resolution and file size being critical for mobile viewing.
