Working on the technical and design part of my website was the easy piece for this graphic designer. The tough part came when trying to photograph a massive amount of photographs.

I am trained in photography and as I already knew, can be a perfectionist. I took photos with natural lighting, but it was not bright enough and cause too slow of photo. I then bought studio lights. That helped things out a lot, but I kept finding photos being 1% out of focus or off in some way when I looked at the photo on the computer. I imagine that if a photo looks bad, people won’t want to pay for my products, so I highly scrutinize the photos.

My next step was to tether my camera to my computer. I had a small 5 foot cord, but it was not helping. I ended up having to buy a 15 foot cord. With that cord, I finally got photos that I light without any reservations.

So now I am working on editing the photos for placement onto the shop page. 🙂
