thanks so much Carrie. What about photos needed for jury selection though? they have to be in a higher resolution than the phone (point and shoot) allows. Just curious if you have used it for that purpose

I just started using props because I thought it gave the pictures more personality and I wanted to infuse my brand into my pictures. My business cards show a beach scene and I thought shells and driftwood would be good props. I guess I am really confused on how to project my brand. I definitely see your point about the pictures and the pieces do stand out more clearly. Well, I am happy I read your blog before I continued any further. I think I’ll put the driftwood and shells away. And, a class in photography would be helpful too. Thank you so much for the photography tips. I really appreciate your sharing your knowledge.

Hi JoAnn. I am with you on the background confusion. I really did LOVE my CHOLLA CACTUS background. But selling the jewelry is the objective and I do feel that my photos are so much cleaner and easier to look at now.
Just keep plugging away. This is a huge learning curve, I Lapidary Journal. He has a couple of DVD’s you can buy and here is his UTUBE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjHeJ3EfMHA

But also so rewarding, to be able to show them off properly. 😉 I am also learning a lot and it is nice to read about what you are learning, as well as seeing your words illustrated in the pictures that go with it. I agree that in the pictures without the cactus the jewelry stands out much more. Thank you for sharing this information, I’m looking forward to reading more!

thanks Laurien. I agree completely. Once I complete the editing class I am hoping to make more improvements. I have self taught myself the editing process but know there are tips and tricks… and shortcuts that will enhance my process.
