Product Styling

 

Unfortunately I have very limited photography skills. I bought a digital SLR camera last year in an attempt to improve my skills and be more proactive with taking photos, and to date this has happened. Enrolling in a course is on my list along with reading the 'how to' books on my shelf. But the reality is that I will just play around with my camera, the settings, light and composition myself when I can.

A light box arrived this week so I've started to play around with it and a couple of items. I will need to add another lamp to the setup and again, to do some reading about to get the best out of it. The main reason behind purchasing the light box is to be able to capture the small details in my work, ie the stitching. Quite clearly the 'styling' also needs some work but I have to start somewhere. I love seeing pictures of beautifully and creatively arranged items, hopefully I'll learn to take some myself.

 

 

A Photo A Day Project

via capture your 365

One of my resolutions for 2012 is to take better photos, more photos and to capture those fleeting moments of utter gorgeousness that you wish you could bottle. I don't have a fancy camera but I could definitely learn to use the settings better and with the tips, motivation and photo ideas from capture your 365 this is just what I need to help with this resolution. Daily photos are probably too ambitious for me at the moment but who knows, I may surprise myself!
