Photo Make Over.....

One of the aspects of having my own business that makes me want to rip out my hair in frustration is taking photos of my work. I am dead serious when I say it has taken YEARS to get them where I am kinda happy with them and that includes a 6 month intense photoshop course that had me in tears almost everyday. (which I am, of course, thrilled that I took now!) I have not learned everything, I would love to get a photo lightbox like this one:
CowboyStudio Table Top Photography Studio Lighting Tent Kit in a Box - 1 Tent, 2 Light Set, 1 Tripod, 1 Display Table Top

but I feel as if I have I have experimented and tweaked enough to get them close to representing the actual pieces. So for fun, here are a few before and afters:



So you get the picture. (no pun intended) It's SO hard to get a bright, clear picture without washing the image out a little bit. Any suggestions are SO welcome, just put them in the suggestion box below! (comment)

  1. hey there, i have this tabletop lightbox and LOVE it! It's easy to set up, comes with a tripod, lights, and 3 backgrounds and folds up into a small portfolio for storage. Check it out: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Table-Photo-Studio-Light/dp/B001MYASTG/ref=pd_cp_p_2
