I love, love, love this photo. (Alas, I didn’t record whose it was. If it’s yours, let us know the name of the Genius so we can thank her/him!)
Why do I love this photo? Because:
* It’s simple, so simple, to do. Here, they’ve used white photo backdrop paper. You could do that, or you could use a spotless part of an attractive floor. Just lay the goods down, pinch a bit of a waist in, arrange a few folds as needed and shoot completely parallel to the floor.
* It shows humor, both in the coordination of the pieces and the active “pose.”
* What could be more “back-to-school”?
Hints:
- Use the “color saturation” tool in your photo-editing software (or in picnik.com, my fave) to get the brilliance shown here.
- Notice: No price tags. Take ’em off and put them back on. Really, it is worth the 21 extra seconds.
- Do a bunch of outfits at a time to maximize the use of your set-up time.
- Add text to your photo, if you like. Definitely use your shop logo!

A light tent can get a better look. Lighting can be controlled and evened out than using a white background alone. You can purchase one or make your own.
