I also agree with Jeni and was going to suggest that you use a piece of material that has a bit of texture. It will give something additional for the camera to help focus on. I would also think that a very pale blue would look nice as well, but nothing too bright! </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/98789.aspxSun, 07 Nov 2010 13:10:33 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:98789JSmaz0http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/98789.aspxhttp://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=98789<p>Grey would be my suggestion also.&nbsp; I usually photograph on a piece of 8x10 light grey felt that you can get at any craft store.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/98788.aspxSun, 07 Nov 2010 12:29:24 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:98788MysticP0http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/98788.aspxhttp://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=98788<p>Hi, Amy!!</p> <p>The easiest thing to do is to change the background when you&#39;re shooting your photos. I would suggest light grey - it&#39;s easy to color balance in photo editing and it shows off colors beautifully, and pearls especially look beautiful against it.&nbsp;</p> <p>How are you trying to photograph them now? What is your photography set-up like? Sometimes you can still do a white or light background and have silver and crystals show up well, but not without a light box and some really good lighting.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/98783.aspxSun, 07 Nov 2010 11:09:07 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:98783amy_sev0http://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/thread/98783.aspxhttp://www.beadingdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=98783<p>Over the years, I&#39;ve created tons of bridal pieces, but I have a heck of a time getting the pieces to photograph well.&nbsp; I am working on a piece for the Bead Mavens Ice Queen contest, and am hoping to figure out a way to get a decent picture of it when I&#39;m done!!!&nbsp; I&#39;ve tried various backgrounds, but maybe it&#39;s a lighting issue?<br />Any tips would be greatly appreciated - and then maybe I could finally start posting and selling my bridal pieces on Etsy!</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Amy</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
