How to Take Great Photos of Your Creations (No Fancy Gear Needed)

You don’t need an expensive setup to take beautiful photos — just good light and a clean space.

Step-by-step:
1) Use natural daylight — shoot near a bright window but avoid direct sun.
2) Use a plain white or pale background (a sheet of card or light fabric).
3) Hold your phone steady or rest it on a mug as a mini tripod.
4) Tap to focus on the charm and lower the exposure slightly — engraving pops.
5) Take both close-ups and a lifestyle shot. Show scale with a prop (teacup, ribbon, box).

Bonus: Edit lightly — brightness + warmth only. Keep colours true to life.
The goal: clean, bright andnatural
