Well, this was an attempt to shoot a couple of buildings I made a couple of years ago...as you can see, this one has taken up residence in the backyard and has been invaded by a Virgina Creeper! I'm not really sure I like the photos but thought I'd post at least one. My intention is to add a new section to the site specifically for my little buildings - or anything (like my handbuilt vases) that has been decorated with architecture of any sort. I haven't built anything like this in ages - lately everything I've been doing is either wearable or functional....well, I suppose these buildings are functional in that they look lovely when lit up with a candle.
Over the next little while, I will be re-shooting all of my pieces (those that haven't sold yet) using our second generation, homemade lightbox :) Slowly, slowly I have been learning how to shoot my own stuff....learning about natural light, flash photography, making use of outdoor lighting, lightboxes (yay!)....you'll see all of photos that exist now are all over the place. My husband has just built for me a new lightbox, so piece by piece I will be shooting again, everything, as well as updating and adding new things.
I am beginning to understand that unless someone can see one of my pieces in person, its only really as good as its photo.....if that makes any sense.....my respect goes out to photographers everywhere – especially those that do product photography.
Here's a salute, and an RIP to the original lightbox.....you served me well :)
