I attended the first half of the meeting last night and think that Steve did a great job teaching us some stuff. I learned most of all that I need a new camera
because of the lack of manual control I have – But we did learn a lot of good things to consider when taking product photos and that personal style should lead us in determining our environment for product placement and the rest is experimental. Also, we learned that there is a lot of information existing online that we can take advantage of, like etsy’s community articles:
