A. Getting my pots to professional photographers
and
B. getting professional photographs
I have come to the conclusion that I should just bite the bullet and learn how to do most of my photos myself.
A tool that is going to be invaluable is my new collapsible light box. I tried it out the other day......
When photographing outside it is important to WEIGH DOWN the lighbox in case of a breeze (I did this with a kiln shelf.)
Now to just get the darned thing down. Look very easy............
Oh yes. I've got ! I've got it! .....just hang on a minute..........
Voila! (fuzzy photos courtesy of timer on camera and slow film setting)

That's a great idea. Thank you.
And nice photo, too.
Lovely~ I have one of those cubes too and LOVE it...however, I always have to look at the directions to fold it up again!! Regardless, it's worth the effort, you final photo being the proof of that :)

I might move my cube outside I got better photos there than I do with my lights in side.
Hi Shannon
Love your work! I was wondering where you purchased your amazing collapsable light box/tent as all I've been able to find so far are small light tents.
Kind regards

I got my lightbox from Ebay. Just search "collapsible lightbox". There were all different sizes.
Were you happy with the photos? I have some very good photographs of my work and some very ordinary ones. It seems a shame that so much effort goes into the work and then my photographs end up looking like after thoughts. I will have a look on ebay for a light cube, thanks for the idea. Cheers Kim
So funny Shannon, my cube took off just the other day, found some old bricks to hold it down but I love the kiln shelf idea.
Also, I like using largish sheets of coloured or white card for the backdrop instead of those flimsy sheets it came with. You don't have to iron cardboard!
