Product Photography
Hi! I was so fortunate to receive a shop evaluation from Jan of Poppytalk Handmade. Among the many suggestions for my shop was to frame all of my prints to make them look higher end.
So, I bought this lovely warm wood Ikea picture frame, bought a dollar’s worth of yellow buds from a local florist, and and set up a makeshift photo shoot area in my office.
I set up shop with a tripod, some foam board, and some natural light. You can see the bird’s eye view here.
Jan also suggested using a children’s prop for my more nursery themed prints. So wooden blocks it was! And conveniently, the blocks in this picture spell “BOYS”.
Take a look at all of my updated product photography, if you would like.
What do you think?
Thanks,
Stacie
I love the changes that you’ve made, Stacie– and I am still loving the bear print that I ordered from you for my Graeme-bear’s room 🙂
As a mama of two young ones and an Esty shop owner myself, I know how difficult it is to carve out the time to improve product photos. My hat is off to you– well done 🙂
Love the set up with the boards around the window to capture the natural light! I recently bought a frame to do the same with my prints, it does make things look more professional!x
Fantastic! I agree with Jan, they look better than ever!
It looks beautiful!!
You are so much cooler than I am! That takes a big load off my psyche, let me tell you. Way less pressure to be cool myself. And someday we will have a nursery full of Gingiber stuff!
wow, they look great!! those were some really helpful suggestions.
Looks great- I have to do this as well. 🙂
They look smashing Stacie. Very clean, crisp and totally professional! I really need to work on mine too. This gives me plenty of tips on how I can achieve this! x
Nice Idea! Brilliant!
