Thoughts on my photography

When it comes to photography I can't help but feel like I still have so much to learn. I'm saying this as a good thing, as I believe in growing, always learning and experiencing new things. 

I started as being a huge fan of the simple white background as it does so much for product photography: it's safe, simple, cheap even, but it manages to do so well that one thing that product photography needs to do - make the product pop and stand out. 

But, as that little adventurous feeling that we call change tries us all, I started to add different props, fabrics and textures to my photos. I started to look everywhere for that perfect vintage-looking book, cute small dishes, all kinds of lace and polka dotted fabrics - oh, the wonderfulness of it all!

Even though all it's great that way - placing a product in a context, giving it a story, I found myself wanting to go back to the "less is more" philosophy. I'm not saying I'm becoming a minimalist or anything, I'm just somewhere in between. But I did get the urge to re-take some photos of some of the products in my shop - I do have a different camera now, after all. 


You can find all these in my shop :)

Which type of product photography do like best?

Have fun and enjoy photography!

Sincer... imi plac mai mult fotografiile cu aer romantic :) Mereu le-am admirat la tine ;)

Multumesc draga mea :)
Desi mi-am propus sa incerc si fundaluri mai simple, nu ma vad renuntand la cele romantice :)

Noua camera este un fujifilm x10 - sunt mmultumita de el, dar trebuie sa recunosc ca l-am ales din motive estetice, are design retro :)
