My house has rotten lighting (I'm house hunting, by the way--know of any good two-story non-ranch houses on around five acres of land, no more than a 20-minute commute from a good graphic design job, for under $200,000?), and so I have to do my product shoot outdoors. It's challenging enough in the summer, when I have to find the perfect spot of indirect lighting, but in the winter, when I have to find that spot on a sunny day...well, the Midwest isn't really famous for that.
I tried to compromise by shooting some indoor shots next to an east-facing window blocked by scrub trees, but combined with a model prone to making goofy faces, I only got a few keepers out of dozens of shots:
However, even though it was stinkin' cold so I only got my
I Spy quilt done, I did discover that the snow makes an excellent photo backdrop:
It's so hard to put a quilt into one shot, and so I think that this corner-to-corner angle is going to be my new go-to quilt shot:
And then, of course, there's fringe:
The
I Spy quilt is now up in my
pumpkinbear etsy shop, to be followed by some more one-of-a-kind listings as soon as we get some more snow!
