Hi nice to see your photo shared video, we just shoot natural post on Instagram, but we do have a photo booth for our small machined parts, almost all photos we upload are natural and indoor mostly, we stopped fighting the camera and we like the results, as just shoot and upload them.
Your beginning photos you shard looked nice in natural time of day lighting as well.
Thank you for the share and allowing us to share what we do, Lance & Patrick
