So, we were thrilled when Veronica offered to write a helpful guide for fellow makers.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody knows the truth\u00a0of the matter better than us: Furniture\u00a0makers have their heads down in their workshops \u2013 designing, innovating, and creating. Photography might not take precedent in the process, but it benefits makers immensely\u00a0to show off each facet of their\u00a0lovely creations. With all of the time and energy devoted to producing such masterpieces, wouldn&#8217;t you want these beauties to receive the attention they deserve?<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t take it from us, though. In our first guest post by a Handkrafted maker, Veronica emphasises not only the importance of\u00a0capturing your completed projects, but how attainable\u00a0top-notch\u00a0photography can be\u00a0for all furniture makers.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com\/christopherblank\/1616191\/mr-shoey-shoe-cabinet\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1749 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-13-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"CB 13\" width=\"940\" height=\"626\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-13-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-13-940x626.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-13-440x294.jpg 440w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 940\/626;\" \/><\/a><b>COMPOSING THE PERFECT SHOT<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be consistent and take loads of shots, particularly of custom jobs, as once they are out the door they are gone! It sounds ridiculous, but sometimes we\u00a0deliberate over 10 shots that to the naked eye look exactly the same. We have a process where each piece is shot in the same way\u00a0against the same backdrop. We are also really lucky we\u00a0have great natural light and a great blank wall to work with.<\/li>\n<li>Have a\u00a0combination of product shots and instant working shots that show what&#8217;s happening right now. (This is something I must say we need to work on.)<\/li>\n<li>Another consideration is &#8216;has this exact\u00a0piece\u00a0been shot before?&#8217; &#8211; we will try and find a new way of shooting it to make it fresh.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Luke has really gotten into the photography and takes great photos of the pieces. It helps\u00a0that he is the maker as he knows the\u00a0pieces\u00a0so\u00a0intimately.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com\/christopherblank\/1552488\/skinny-love-stool\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1741 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-5-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"CB 5\" width=\"940\" height=\"626\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-5-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-5-940x626.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-5-440x294.jpg 440w, https:\/\/www.handkrafted.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/CB-5.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 940\/626;\" \/><\/a>EQUIPMENT<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>You so\u00a0don&#8217;t need a crazy camera!
