BAKERY’s Top Five Product Photography Links

The quickest way to turn off a buyer is with a gross photo. And by gross, I mean a number of things: bad lighting, lack of styling, over-Photoshopped [this is my biggest pet peeve!]. If you’re a seller of any kind, the following links are absolute must-reads to ensuring your product will shine beautifully through professional-looking photography!:
1. How to Shoot Challenging Items via Digital Photography School
2. Building a LightBox + A Few Photoshop Tips via Making It Lovely
3. Homemade Light Box Tutorial via Studio Lighting
4. How to Style Your Products via Etsy
5. Additional Product Photography Tips via Little Birds
Still need help? Check out Digital Photography School, a great resource for all things photo-related!

superb post!
oh man! this mankind girl is everywhere! perfect timing for me, im just in the photograph part & needed advise. keep up the good work! im such a fan!
All of these resources are really helpful. We have been teaching ourselves to take photos for our store’s website (http://eli-phant.com), and while we’re certainly getting better, we have a long way to go! I am especially inspired by the etsy piece on styling. Thanks for pulling these links together!
i actually had seen several of these before, but it reminded me of a few things i forgot about. also, i found a big tri-fold display at office depot that will work really well as a lightbox because if i can help it, i am too lazy to build one. plus this folds flat when not in use. again, thanks for all of your wonderful tips in general and i hope to use your pro services soon!
