Style

When taking pictures of your creations, how do you like to present your work?

For some crafters, photographing your work is another way to express your creativity. I've seen some great outdoor shots with jewelry draped over wrought iron, or on a pretty rock.

Do you use props when you photograph your pieces? I've seen flowers, seashells... I saw a photo the other day with baby shoes as a prop for a mother/baby bracelet set. Very cute!!

My favorite way to photograph my jewelry is on white paper. The reason is because that is how my pictures turn out best. When I have tried photographing outdoors, or with props, the pictures don't turn out as well. So, I stick with what works best for me.

But I sure do like seeing what works best for others too!

Please share your favorite photography style in the blog notes!

As a buyer, I like to see both flats and items on a person (if they are apparel). When it's just the item, sometimes you lose the sense of scale.
As a seller, I like whatever makes the items look so good a person wants to reach through the screen and grab them!
