This is a short fun class that gave a lot of inspirational ideas for helping to create fun backdrops for really any product-type picture taking – not just the jewelry and accessories examples she used.
If you like me are on a tight budget but want to make nice photos to show off (or list) projects, you have made many of the suggestions she gives are budget friendly.
Some of the best tips I am taking away from this class are …
a) Painted wood can also be used to make backdrops that can provide some height or contrast to the pictures; she shows several different-sized pieces of painted wooden boards for her props. (This might have a little investment needed to get boards and such to use; but I have a feeling it would be well worth it since I could see these being used in SO many different ways and photos.
b) Use "raw items you started with when making your projects" to show the process (Again you might have some of this left from your project so no extra cost should be needed) such as paint splashes, rare beads, ect
c) And lastly - the number one tip she gives is to “Just use anything you have around your house that works well with your design the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. You could use placemats, cutting boards, other craft items, fruit, dishes, the list goes on and on.
Wonderful tips! I am rarely new to Creative Bug so I haven't had a chance to look yet but do you have any tips on editing photos? Thank you.
