Regrettably photography is not my strong point despite the fact that my father is somewhat of an accomplished photographer. I guess some things just don't run in the genes.
The trouble with posting on Etsy, blogging, Facebooking and all the other social media things that one has to do these days, it's all based on photography.
My current apartment although very pretty, doesn't have a lot of natural light. Being the penny pinching type I swapped all my bulbs out for the newer energy saving ones and since I don't like to feel like I'm sitting in a football field of light at night, I tend to buy the low voltage ones. Consequently they're particularly bad for photographs. So here I sit looking around my home looking for places to take pictures and the only place I can see is the middle of my bed with an unfortunate shabby chic Ikea quilt cover, which I love (don't get me wrong) but which makes for a rather uninteresting and distracting backdrop.
Well, the good news is that I'm moving in April and have a wonderful new work space....a whole attic complete with windows and two skylights. If my photography skills do not improve then, well, it's that I really am much worse at this than I thought.
Take courage my wonderful clients...my products are great and made with so much love and passion that I hope that it shows through despite my terrible pictures.
