Artist's Comments

This tutorial is mainly for artisans, craftspeople, and sculptors who find that it's difficult to display their work well in photos, but can't afford a professional photographer. This is basic instruction on how to get the most out of a cheap digital camera. I go through lighting and photographing techniques, as well as some simple Photoshop techniques. Don't worry! If you don't have Photoshop, you will still benefit from reading the first 6 steps. Please let me know if you find this useful in any way, and enjoy!

As someone who struggles with photographing my costumes, this was priceless. I can't use photoshop because the customers deserve to see what they are really getting. But man, this is just great. Thank you! sincerely, Janel

Heh, I do not think that any amount of tutorials will save my crappy camera, it's a 1.3 mega pixel - about 6 or 7 years old :-(
Very good advice none-the-less.
I think it's time for me to find a new camera.
