I have had mixed messages about my photos, because I have gone to a more neutral background. A lot of people like the colored background. I think the neutral background showcases the jewelry more, making it stand out in the picture.
I would love to hear what you think.
Below are a few photos for your to compare. Also, you can go to my Etsy page and see what a whole page in my shop looks like. You can see all the neutral pictures on pages 1, 2, & 3, and the more colorful pictures on pages 4, 5, & 6.
Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion.
What changes have you made to your shop this summer?
photos are a tricky one which I can't really help you with :(
ReplyDeleteI used to have all white backgrounds but then decided they look too commercial, now I constantly change them, I re-take 5/10 photos every couple of days.
I'm not sure there is really an answer - with your pics about I like all the backgrounds! sorry!
I think you're right (not that I'm an expert...I'm always redoing my photos!) Especially the pieces with color really pop against the neutral background.
ReplyDeleteI do think, however, that all silver piece does look better against the blue! arrrgghh! see what I mean? I can never decide!
I agree with Thirty-Six Ten about the silver looking better against the blue. Generally speaking, I think lighter things look better on brighter or darker backgrounds, and vice versa. That said, though, I think the new pics look great! Congrats on all you've accomplished with your shop.
ReplyDeleteI think neutral back ground when you have a colorful piece and maybe a bit jazzy if you have a more plain piece. With the necklace that has the reddish back ground, I think that adds character to the necklace and compliments the piece.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lot of hard work. I have been doing a lot with my shop too and hopefully it will all pay off. I guess the plan is to be persistent. Don't quit before the miracle happens.
I like the wood type background- but what I really like is that in the first two newer photos you've cropped them closer, so that the pieces fill more of the image. Also, I like that the angle of the jewelry is changing between photos, which makes it feel less like you just kept laying things down and taking a picture. Provides a little variation between pieces.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for sharing your thoughts on my photos. Taking picutes has become my new job and it's a challenge. Feedback is great.
ReplyDeleteFor the items currently in my shop I am only going to change the first shot, so I will still have the options to use the bright colored backgrounds.
