Take a shot at it, resalers!

July 7, 2009 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Need a little help with photographing some typical merchandise for your web site?

Take a look at the irresistible merchandise photos in Kim Ludy’s Etsy shop then head over to where she discusses her 5 c’s of photo styling and just what counts, when you’re shooting some snaps.

Creature Comforts, who alerted me to this article,  is a blog on my daily-visit list. Sample her Photography/ Styling posts. You can’t help but be inspired!

If you’re just now dabbling in photography of your shop for your web site, your business card or direct-mail postcard or your blog, start with the basics at TGtbT.com: Exterior thoughts and interior too.

Bonnie Kallenberg wrote an article in this month’s NARTS newsletter about having a head shot of yourself ready to go at all times. (You know how I feel about having your photo on your web site: a complete MUST.) If you’d like ideas, examples (you might even recognize some friends!) head on over to Smile for the Camera, a Too Good to be Threw Luncheonette mini-product.
