Good craft photography can really make a difference in how your projects are showcased on your blog. Natural light is your best friend, so try to take pictures during the day near a window for the best results. For editing, you don’t need anything too fancy, just something to adjust brightness and contrast. Some people like to check out lifetouch for ideas on how to pose items or create a nice background. Taking the time to get a clean, sharp image will help your crafts stand out to readers.
