Every appraisal follows the same photo routine — the same steps, in the same order, every time. This is that standard, shown with real photos so there's no guessing what "good" looks like.
A complete submission runs about 50 photos at minimum, and 100+ on a vehicle with a lot to document — every option, every flaw, every angle. The eight categories below are the full routine. Walk them in order, every time, and nothing gets missed.
| # | Category | Target |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Exterior walkaround | 8 shots |
| 2 | Wheels (all 4 corners) | 4 shots |
| 3 | Exterior detail shots | 10–20 shots |
| 4 | Interior | 12–15 shots |
| 5 | Engine bay | 4–6 shots |
| 6 | Trunk / frunk / cargo | 3–5 shots |
| 7 | Undercarriage | 3–4 shots |
| 8 | Identification & documentation | 5–8 shots |
Every photo below is a real example from an actual Aprazio-standard shoot — not a diagram, not a stock photo. This is the bar.
Start at the front and you'll hit all eight naturally. Every position is a full-car shot — straight-on for the four cardinal angles, three-quarter for the corners.








Front-left, front-right, rear-left, rear-right — close enough to read tread depth and see the full face of the wheel and caliper.




Plus a close-up of any damage, wear, or modification. The examples below cover the categories — the actual count depends on how much the vehicle has to show.












Dash, seats, doors, and controls.








A full bay overview first, then the details that establish condition — fluid reservoirs, the build/emissions tag, and anything non-stock.





Full cargo area overview, then the spare tire or tools if present, and any special features — subwoofer box, tonneau cover, factory tool kit, and similar. Pickup trucks: shoot the bed with the tailgate both up and down.


Shot from straight underneath where it's safe to access. Skip and note it if it's genuinely not accessible.




Undercarriage examples above: from a separate reference vehicle, used to illustrate camera angle and framing only.
Always close enough to read every character.


Then the paperwork: title or registration, window sticker if available, service records, restoration receipts, and any factory tool kit or accessories.




Documentation examples above: from a separate reference vehicle's paper file, used to illustrate photography technique (flat, well-lit, fully legible) only — not a match to any specific car.
On-site inspections are held to a higher documentation bar than a customer's own phone photos:
