The process is a lot easier than you think, too. However, there are some important things to consider and be aware of before jumping in the deep end. We’ll cover these in the sections below. 

Selling Feet Pics Without Getting Scammed – What Do You Do?

Being scammed is no joke. Today, there are so many scammers working around the clock to relieve you of your assets. It’s up to you to protect yourself, so always take precautions! 

Lucky for you, we’re going to cover what you need to know.

  • Stay Anonymous – don’t give your name, number, email address, or any other kind of personal information to any clients. Create a separate business account for all your payments, too. 
  • Keep Your Face Out of the Photos – while some sellers are fine with posting pictures with their faces or other body parts in, do you really want your face out there? There will always be people to reshare or photoshop them, and it generally isn’t worth the hassle. Not to mention, it can make anonymity difficult. 
  • Use a VPN – using a VPN or “virtual private network” will allow you to hide your IP address to help protect your identity from prying eyes and hackers. There are plenty of places that offer VPN software, and it’s often included in antivirus packages.
  • Turn Off Location Settings – scammers and creeps can use the Geo-tagging info attached to the pictures you send, so make sure the location is turned off when you start taking pictures on your camera or phone.
  • Don’t Pay Anything – some scammers try to get you to pay money to prove you’re legit – can you believe it? They might also ask you to pay transaction fees. You should never have to pay anything for this side hustle unless it’s for a membership fee to an actual sales site.
  • Don’t Accept Overpayments – this is usually all part of a big scam, so stick to your set prices. Never let greed get the best of you, or you could end up losing a lot more than you anticipate.
  • Never Accept Physical Gift Cards or Anything Else Physical – this isn’t only for the sake of safety. Physical gift cards are often stolen, counterfeit, or easy to cancel by the buyer. You can accept e-gift cards, though.
  • Never Answer Any Personal Questions – personal information is a slippery slope, so it’s best never to answer specific questions. Potential buyers, or even buyers, should never request sensitive information.
  • Set a Price and Stick With That Price – hagglers and negotiators will try to take advantage of you if you change your price for them. Set a price and stick with that price.
  • Receive Your Payments Before Releasing Images – receive and withdraw money before sending over the final product, especially if you use PayPal, CashApp, Chime, or Venmo. Some people like to get refunds as soon as they get the images, leaving you without your money.
  • Always Watermark All Your Images – it’s easy for other sellers to take your photo and sell it as their own if there isn’t a watermark or if the image isn’t blurred. You can easily blur images in Canva.

What You Need To Know About Photographing Feet

  • Take Care of Your Feet – you need to keep your feet in pristine condition if you want to put them to work! If you can, get regular pedicures to ensure they look great. You should also trim your nails and cuticles, moisturize your feet, and scrub that dead skin off. If you have yellowed nails, use whitening toothpaste on them! You should also wear socks or slippers around the house and in the yard to prevent anything from staining your skin, 
  • You Need to Do Some Research – you should take the time to spy – we mean check out – your competition. This can help you learn about which styles work best, which sets you can try, and all kinds of other information.

Tips For Foot Photography

Backgrounds

Good background or backdrop will put you above the rest. Ensure that backgrounds aren’t cluttered or too busy. Simple is often best, but don’t be too scared to play around with ideas!

Some background options include the following:

  • Sand – get that beach-like effect just by placing a few handfuls of sand around your feet. Keep it tropical with some jewelry and other props, too!
  • Marble – no need for a whole marble floor for this! Just get marble tile or a marble backdrop to complement your feet while keeping it simple.
  • Carpet – plush carpet always looks great as it adds symmetry.
  • Wood – wood, especially with the bark still on it, adds a nice contrast to a picture. 
  • White Bedding – this makes photos look pretty feminine and allows you to show off pedicures.

Ideas

It’s a great idea to have some ideas! If you’re struggling with ideas for what to do, check out the following options:

  • Temporary Tattoos – you can use temporary tattoos to really accentuate the curves on your feet and make them look a little different!
  • Flowers – use flowers as props. You can use the flowers from your garden, or go out and purchase some of your favorites to spice things up a little.
  • Foot Jewelry – get anklets or toe rings to add something interesting to your pictures. These work great for a lot of shots.
  • Candles – add some warm and mystical lighting to your shot by positioning candles around your feet! They can be part of the shot, or just off-camera. It’s up to you!

Lighting

Good lighting is crucial. If you don’t have the money for a lighting kit, below are some pointers to help you stay on the right track:

  • Use natural lighting – it’s free, and it works great. However, to avoid looking washed out, avoid direct sunlight.
  • Flashlights – no natural light? Use the flashlight feature on your phone if you have to work in darker spaces. It provides good lighting.
  • LED lighting – LED light bulbs give great results and are usually cost-effective. They will also give your feet a lovely glow to accent the details, which people go crazy over.
