How I Photograph My Etsy Listings....

I went to the craft store and bought one of those tri-folding display boards in white and a piece of white foam board. I set them up on a South facing wall, near a window. I just used my daughter's play table to set it up on. I shot today around 3 ish. There's no direct sunlight, just indirect.

Then I shot my Etsy listings. Here is the before picture......

Using Photoshop, I edited my photographs....here's the after.

I used Camera Raw to "warm" up the photo a little. Then I increased the exposure. After that, I added a little contrast and saturation. And then, I cropped it. 

 Of course, you don't need Photoshop for that. There are free photo-editing software out there. I have a Micro-Soft Photo Editor that came on my computer and have used it before to edit photos.What other free options do you know of and have used?

So for those of you that have Etsy shops, how do you photograph your items? Please share!
