Hi Dalia, thank you very much for making this video. It was driving me nuts when my black backgrounds kept showing up BLUE! So I know how to fix that now, but for the photo of the blanket that you fixed, how did you get rid of the blue tint in the background without also desaturating the blue in the blanket? I didn't see you just select the background or anything so I'm confused. Thanks again!
Well done, more to it than I thought. Thank you.
Great tips here's another.. set the background in photoshop so that you can adjust your whites/grey correctly against it. I set my background to #fafafa and then every time I edit a photo I adjust the greys inside the photo to match the background set in photoshop. This way I always get the same lighting for every product I shoot.
this is a wonderful video. to tell you the truth I was not going to subscribe but this and the others I looked are so great that I decided I want to know when you publish another video. I also want to ask you if you could do a video on how to take photo of quilts and quilted bags. you will have a lot of viewers because not only a lot of people need to take photos of them for sale but for judging. thanks again for this wonderful tutorial. it is the best among all I have seen. you also are a wonderful teacher
Great tips! So many of these videos show you the logistics of taking the photos, but not HOW to choose your “style” which is what I need, so thanks for this! Very helpful!
I have to speed up your videos.
Great video, how about a video for use bag makers… Thank you so much this was very helpful.
I make doll clothes for 18 inch dolls. I use a trifold foam board with paper on it that looks like white wood. I have trouble with shadows on my background. I use the doll with the clothes on it for my product photos.
what settings did you have on your camera? That is my biggest struggle Thanks for the video
Which DSLR would you recommend D5300 starter or Canon 200D as I sell imported turkish sweets and chocs , so I need to do some product photos for clientele
You are really professional at what you do. That is great! Perhaps you could give me some advice on how to make the best pictures of paintings and also what additional item would you chose then. Thank You in advance 🙂

Thank you Dalia! I always love your training
thanks for these amazing tips and tricks!

this was super helpful!
Would love to see you do shop critiques just for photos!
I sell dog bone toys and it always seems to be either too near or too far. I tried taking it from the same distance but it is really hard to judge. My shop is http://www.puptails.etsy.com
I sell towel wraps and have to have models. I have such a hard time with that. My shop is www,wrapsandmore.etsy.com
I seem to not do enough with the photos or to much. I am not to a point that I can hire a photographer.
