We always make sure the area where the photos are snapped are well lit with natural light. It is imperative that the items highlighted are shown in their truest nature.

Thanks Diane, for pointing out that the fluorescent lights most shops have are not helpful in true color rendition. Very important, as you say!

I’d love to invite you to take a look at my photos at Classy & Sassy Upscale Consignments on my Facebook page. The key is never have “stuff” behind your photos….close ups are the best. Lighting is important! Creative shots for interest and most important – make everyting look important. I hope you enjoy my photos.
