Commissioning Professional Photography

This PDF article by Dave Ward outlines the value of professional photography for people selling their work. “Picture the scene – a wonderfully crafted item of jewellery, ceramics, or wood is brought into the world with a huge amount of love and dedication. There it is poised on the verge of greatness, only needing a suitable photograph to be able to communicate itself beautifully to those not lucky enough to be in its actual presence. If it’s unlucky what it gets is a quick flash with the family’s super-snappy camera and there it is, a dull, lifeless representation of its true self – a sad end indeed to such promise. Fortunately help is at hand for these poor mistreated objects; help in the form of specialised professional photography.
