The Vintage Process: Photography

I’ve just listed this pretty little trinket box on Etsy and thought I’d use it as an example of how I photograph items to put in the shop. Here is a picture of the box on a plain artist’s canvas that I use as a backdrop. I feel this gives a good neutral but textured background and naturally reflects light on to the object being photographed.



Once I’ve taken a couple of images from different angles I crop and resize the image to fit better with the Etsy photo specifications.
Here is the cropped image for Etsy as the main picture.



If you want to see the range of photos I’ve used to show the inside and base of the box - see here.
