TAKE BETTER PHONE PHOTOS

WEDNESDAY

Do you find yourself with an inconsistent grid on instagram? or unprofessional photos on Etsy? Are you having to photoshop and spend ages on your small business product imagery? Then this may hold the solution. In this session I will teach you how to use light and styling to take better photos on your phone so that you don’t need to do an expensive photoshoot with a photographer. If you’re a small business that relies on photographs coming in from suppliers (for example the wedding industry) I can teach you how to use these images in a consistent way so that your online shop doesn’t look untidy and inconsistent.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO BRING:

Your phone or camera, a box of your products (you will be doing a photoshoot) any props you might want to use or currently do use.
