Tips for a Great Picture
Find a spot with good, bright lighting and be aware of shadows. Natural light/day light is best
Create a neutral background
Cover a table with a neutral tablecloth or bed sheet
Hang paintings on the wall at camera height
Add some fun extras into the frame to make it interesting
TIP: Set your camera’s timer to three or four seconds. This will help eliminate any shake from pressing the shutter button.
