Coming to today's topic remember i am not a pro
i have put my ideas that i have learnt in my experience
to photograph your quilling, the first thing to consider is your camera
in today's world it is not that necessary to have an expensive camera
as you can use your smartphone
most smartphones have good features to their camera
next is lighting
natural light is more effective
take your quilling to be photographed to an open window which gives plenty of light
but make sure you are not putting it in direct sunlight
as it gives harsh shadows
the other thing to consider is background
for a better background i prefer using a small photo studio
i shared a video last week on how to make this at home
you can put pattern papers, when you want to change the background
now coming to the actual photographing
take picture in different angles
take overhead shots
side angle shots
and 45 degree shots
here are some examples of overhead shots
side angle shots
and the 45 degree shots
the 45 degree shots are the one which brings out the 3D value of quilling
the shades and shadows formed by quilling is more visible in this angle
take picture in close-ups and long shots
the close-ups show the details in our work
also consider taking long shots
here it also helps to show the size of the actual work
show the quilling in its final presentation
i mean pictures of quilling in a frame if you are going to finish it that way
you can also show the frame being put on a wall or
placed on a table
this gives a better picture to people who are not quillers
editing the photo
this is also important
some basic edits are possible in smartphones
whereas photo editing apps and software like
photoshop provide more professional look
if you are going to sell your work in sites like etsy
then prefer a clear background
when we add more elements other than quilling to beautify the setup
the buyers may get confused with what the actual product is
like some of the examples shown here
but this can be eliminated by few different ways
one of which is focusing the quilling work and giving a blurred background like in this
anyway there is a different topic of product photography
