- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I am an amature and I am looking to take better photos for my online business until I expand enough to hire a professional photographer to do the job.
I need to take photos of items on a gray or white backdrop, but the ones I've seen look dated and blah. I have been using upholstry fabric (first images below) but I really want something similar to what is posted in the second photos linked below (appears to be paper or vinyl).
I am using a Canon Powershot Elph (as I said, I am not a photographer but want to improve) and I have 2 umbrella lights I use as well. I use the macro setting with no flash and I put one umbrella directly on one side (for shadow to create depth).
I was also considering doing something like the 3rd photo where there is no background and you photoshop in reflection. I am slowly getting better at photoshop, so if anyone can suggest sites with instruction on acheiving that look or a ballpark of how long it takes to edit photos in that way then I would appreciate it! I know it will take practice, but it is a great skill to have.
My Photos: Louis Vuitton Limited Edition Monogram Canvas Theda PM : MALLERIES
The look I am aiming for: Louis Vuitton Trunk Cotteville 45 : MALLERIES
The look I am ultimately aiming for: LOUIS VUITTON Monogram Leonor Bag: cw13587.3 Fashionphile - Buy, Sell, Consign Authentic Authentic Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Balenciaga
Any help is truely appreciated. I am on a limited budget. TIA!
