Etsy School - Shop Photography Week

Here are two photos from my Etsy store that need major improvement. The Heisey butter dish is gorgeous and the pictures are very bad. I took this shot the first photo shoot. It was outside using two blankets and it shows I put very little time or thought into it.

The bottle shot was planned and thought out. The pictures are bad because it doesn't show the whole item. A customer might think it's the rag doll, can't see the bottles beauty, and the item isn't featured entirely.

This week our team is going to do an exercise changing two items photos . these are my two before photos.

This picture is remaining the same, as my partner thought it was good.


Here's the original Heisey Butter Dish Shot



Here's the reshoot. I'm not sure if it's as clear, but you can see it better right? The first picture was taken using natural light. I believe the natural lighting worked better. Secondly, the second picture used a different background and I thought it worked more nicely. However, the initial pictures were very reddish. I used iPhoto to dial it back into a brown more natural color. 


Bill Guest from PaganCellarJewelry@Etsy is my partner for this project. His before photo selections are shown here.







Later this week, we will see how we did reshooting the photographs for our listings. You can also see Billy's one of a kind and vintage jewelry by following this link. http://www.etsy.com/shop/PaganCellarJewelry There is a huge selection at great prices.

Anyhow, we are putting our badly pictured listings into treasuries. Here's the one I made. Click on the link below to see how it looks if you want...the before shots should be changing after Valentine's Day
