It's Photography Time

Taking photos is an art form, I enjoy taking them, however dare I say it's not my forte. I am now getting to the stage of taking photos of my products. Then the next big step is Etsy and my own web page.

I follow an American blog called 'Whisker Graphics', where all stationery and paper goods are discussed. Recently she blogged about how she photographs her stationery. Click here for the article.

Firstly I purchased some fabric from Lincraft, ironed it. Then wrapped it around some cardboard. Placed two lamps, and I was ready to go and start taking photos.


First result


These are cute little buttons that I purchased today. Unfortunately the detail it not really showing up. It looks like I will have to get different light bulbs. Does anyone have any hints?

  1. Use a tripod, use a macro lense and try frosted bulbs or bounce the light off something.
