Introducing Wicked Pissah Beads, guy!

Check it out. It's Pat's wordpress blog for his beadmaking/lampwork. We photographed everything so far last night... He's doing more today.

Glass bead sets and hemp necklaces/bracelets will be for sale soon... As well as silver earring and necklaces. Stay tuned!

Those look really cool so far!

A suggestion, though, if I may -- it might benefit the photos a bit if you were to build up a glass tabletop to photograph them on, to get rid of the shadow below the beads and jewelry and stuff.

You could just take a large empty picture frame and hold it up with soda cans for "legs" or something. It oughta work fine. :)

Yeah maybe that and a new camera. ;)

Haha. Well, the photos themselves are good enough clarity to show the items, but better equipment seldom fails to improve things.

I'm sure you already know about how to set up a studio kind of thing for photographing items like this, though? One of my cousins is a photographer; I've picked up a few things about lighting and background/prop/etc setup, and if those can be of use to you, by all means, let me know!

Yeah I took photo 1. ;) I don't have the type of equipment to get a nice macro shot, nor and real lighting, so this will have to suffice for now.
