Light Box
One of my biggest obstacles in my Etsy Shop, Ellie Marie Designs, has been taking pictures. I'm not a photographer but I've learned a few things in the 7 months I've been on Etsy. One thing is to use natural day light. Well that means I need a sun shiny day and generally between 11 am and 3 pm. Being unoccupied and at home during those hours doesn't always work out. I soon realized that I needed a light box. Well, those are expensive. So I decided to make my own. I did a bit of checking on the web and got some advice from my Etsy friend Angel, bought some cheap fabric and some $4.00 light bulbs and voila!

That really makes a huge difference. I never knew that! Looks great. I hope it helps your shop.
ReplyDeleteThey look better.
ReplyDeleteDid you use a special sort of lightbulb for the lamps?
Thanks for sharing.
Very impressive. It sure makes a difference. I'll have to show Amber this since she wants to sell some things at Etsy someday. May I ask where you learnt this from or maybe you could do a step-by-step tutorial on how to make one.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge difference. I've noticed that your items look bright lately. Very nice!!
