Comments on: Set dressing your product photographs https://www.boo-creations.co.uk/blog/set-dressing-your-product-photographs/ This blog is about the many things of interest to me - from photography, jewellery making, my garden, walking, the natural world and the English Lake District.

I then graduated (after asking a fellow crafter how she got such lovely backgrounds) to using scrapbook paper myself. I took care to stay towards softer and more neutral colors, so as to not overshadow the work I was trying to shoot. But I will say I was a bit dismayed when I found a print I love that was too “loud”. I <3 the tip about parchment or tracing paper, I would have never thought about it and it’s a rather brilliant idea!

I also agree, while I understand the penchant to suggest to people to keep their photographs of the same style, I think treating each piece in a way that exemplifies its color and display is a much better idea. It gives life to the piece rather than making it “just another photograph”. :)

I am totally unimaginative about mine – I really need to think again.

I bought some scrapbooking paper, thinking they would make good backgrounds. After trying some I realized that most of them were actually too bold. I can’t wait to try putting parchment paper over them! Thanks so much for this idea.
