Studio Photography

Taking photos of my pendants has been a challenge. Trying to 

minimize the reflections on the glass dome covering the artwork

is probably best left to the professionals. However that delightful service

 is not in my budget (yet).

This picture taken with my Pixel phone is not too bad, I am sure that a professional could make it much better, but for my purposes I'm pleased. There is a slight bit of reflective glare on the right side but not enough to be distorting. If you look closely, you can see my reflection in the bail, lol!

So this is what I've come up with using my photo box that my son gifted me for  Christmas one year. I placed a piece of fabric across the top.

It's set up near the window to get the natural diffused light on one side and the clip on light on the other. After I set up the shot, the white fabric gets pulled down in front and just my arms and camera poke through.

There is quite a bit of revision made after each shot but I can do that immediately after each one.

I do love this phone's camera....

Thank you for stopping by and have a lovely day!

New Etsy Photos

This month has been devoted to cleaning up my studio after the craziness of the last quarter of 2014. 

I still have to finish off the books and get all the info to my lovely accountant!

I have been selling my 5x5 art prints mounted on wood at the fairs last year, but the listing are new to my Etsy Store. I also want to revamp all my Etsy photography. 

My husband hung this shelf for me to use as a prop and I love it!

I do love how the distressed white shelf works for displaying my art.

Hopefully, here in the northeast we will have some more sunny days so that I can continue with more items!

There is more snow predicted for this evening.......
