It\u2019s not always that easy getting the perfect shot of your artwork if you don\u2019t have the right tools. By the right tools I mean Studio lights, speed lights, tri-pods and hi-end cameras with top of the range lenses. I never used to have all of those and only acquired some of these in the last year.<\/h3>\n<p>So how can you at home photograph your layouts \u2013 I am sharing some of my &#8220;how to photograph your scrapbook layouts&#8221; tips and tricks that I have learned throughout my career of spending lots of time with professional photographers and my own experience. <em>**The below steps is a beginners guideline that has helped me over the years, you will most likely not be a pro and it does take lots of practice<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Photographing from above and editing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Find a spot in your home that has lots of nice natural light. This is typically next to a window with nice and bright light streaming in. You can also go outside under a covered stoep or patio \u2013 as I do since our thatch house is so very dark inside. I do want to point out that it is best to have light that is indirect or diffused rather than harsh direct light shining right on your layout.<\/li>\n<li>It is also best to photograph your layouts during the day when you have nice light so you don&#8217;t have to use your flash. If you do it at night with your flash, your layouts will look more flat and less 3-dimensional and you also may get some bad shadows and flash spots on your photos. Photographing at night will cause colours to be off.<\/li>\n<li>Find something to use as a background for your layout.  You are looking for a clean solid white background that doesn&#8217;t distract from your layouts. There are lots of things you can use for example a sheet of white project board, a large flat canvas, mounting board or even a white bedding sheet, plastic sheeting used for infinity curves etc.<\/li>\n<li>Simply place your layout on your background and make sure you have good lighting without any sunspots directly on your layout.<\/li>\n<li>To photograph the layout I stand directly above it and get in close enough (either physically or with the zoom on my lens) so that you are filling the frame with your background and layout. I always leave about an inch or 2 of the white background all around the image visible. The white board also reflects some light which is good.<\/li>\n<li>You can also use a tri-pod here (recommended) and a remote control for your camera. Position the tri-pod directly over your layout and then photograph it to avoid any camera shake and blurry images.<\/li>\n<li>After photographing the layout I upload it to my computer for editing.  When taking the picture I try to make sure that the layout is straight but if it is off a little I have a \u201cStraightening tool\u201d and \u201cPerspective Correction Tool\u201d in my editing software to get it perfectly straight without any distortions. I crop and size my image for web with a 150dpi which is nice enough to see details but small enough not to load for ages (a pet hate).<\/li>\n<li>Now it\u2019s time to get up close and personal and take some close up images to show details, texture and patterns or focus on something specific you used or want to show off. I normally use a Macro lens for this or simply turn my settings to \u201cMacro\u201d the little flower on your camera.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a rel=\"media\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/how-to-photograph-your-scrapbook-layouts-natural-light.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/how-to-photograph-your-scrapbook-layouts-natural-light.jpg\" alt=\"how to photograph your scrapbook layouts natural light\" class=\"gallery_full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Photographing your layouts head-on<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike above, in winter I photograph my layouts head on. I also attach my layouts to my white infinity curve board using mounting squares and then place the board on a window sill outside. The reason I do this in winter is because the lighting is very different to the harsh summer light and I have no issues with the sunlight ending up directly on my layout. <\/p>\n<p>I stand in front of the board directly facing my layout with feet apart to steady myself. I have a steady enough hand and just shoot away, but you could also use a tri-pod which is always better and recommended.<\/p>\n<p>Once I have my images I edit them for web publishing.<\/p>\n<p>Photographing your layouts head on is another option if you don\u2019t have a steady hand or a tri-pod. I recommend this for most people \u2013 it\u2019s a simple way of making sure your layout is straight and in focus. I have seen some amazing scrappers and bloggers with images that are always out of focus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Some other tips<\/h3>\n<p>I never use a flash when photographing my layouts \u2013 flash is a mood destroyer<\/p>\n<p>I always shoot in \u201cP\u201d Program Mode or \u201cM\u201d Manual mode &#8211; this allows me to set the camera to specific settings, like ISO speed, Shutter speed, Aperture, White Balance (WB)<\/p>\n<p>ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture and brightness of light are variables. They will always change depending on the light and the shooting situation so be prepared for that!<\/p>\n<p>Setting the white balance can help when photographing indoors to avoid things looking too blue. Shooting indoors you are dealing with \u201cmanmade lights\u201d that will have an effect on your camera hence the blueness of a photo. It helps to know your camera and how it works \u2013 changing settings and getting off of \u201cAuto\u201d is a must!<\/p>\n<p>Invest in a tri-pod \u2013 it will be worth the money spent in gold.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"media\" ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/how-to-photograph-your-scrapbook-layouts-studio-set-02.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/how-to-photograph-your-scrapbook-layouts-studio-set-02.jpg\" alt=\"how to photograph your scrapbook layouts studio set 02\" class=\"gallery_full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And after all this \u2013 the best advice I have is, do not be in a hurry when photographing your layouts. Take your time and have a steady hand, wait for good lighting outside and keep a white background separate and don\u2019t use it for anything but a background to keep it crisp and clean. Oh&#8230;and go and buy that tri-pod this year!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-85 size-thumbnail alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-182x182.jpg\" alt=\"Jowilna Nolte\" width=\"182\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-182x182.jpg 182w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-83x83.jpg 83w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/jowilna-nolte-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Post by The Wholesaler\u2019s Designer Jowilna Nolte.<\/h5>\n<h5>We are very proud to introduce you to our first designer, Jowilna Nolte.

Nolte\"},\"description\":\"I have been in the industry for 15 plus years now and have loved the more than interesting journey it has taken me on so far. I started off my career in retail working in a paper shop importing handmade speciality papers from japan, Canada, India and America. We also imported a range of rubber stamps (PSX), along with Ranger Products, and Tsukineko to mention a few. This was all back in 2000. I moved to the wholesale part of the business and got involved in window dressing and opening a second flagship store for the company while the owners were overseas. I have travelled extensively to America visiting CHA and Frankfurt Germany to their biggest paper trade show \u201cPaperworld\u201d where I gained valuable knowledge regarding the industry. After a whirlwind love affair with the business I headed off into the sunset to fulfil my second dream by working in publishing. I started off as Technical Editor on a scrapbooking magazine and worked on several other craft publications in the company as well. But this was not enough \u2013 after a long journey I started my own scrapbooking magazine, which transformed into writing a real book book as opposed to a magazine book, and the rest is history. I am currently a best-selling author in the craft industry with my book \u201cScrap-Boek\u201d being the fourth best seller in South Africa and currently in second print. I am a freelance artist doing work for various companies such as Caxton Magazines that includes Rooi Rose and Bona Magazine to mention a few. I travel regularly to various shows teaching and presenting lectures on scrapbooking, card-making and creativity. I have been published several times in American publications such as Taken Ten Magazine, Catch Up Issue \u2013 both Somerset Publications. I was also asked to be a guest artist by Taken Ten Magazine for one of their issues in which an entire article was dedicated to my work. In December 2011, I made my television debut by presenting Christmas Crafts on 3 Talk with Noeleen. After a bit of a sabbatical with my on-line classroom website Scrapcouture, we are busy revamping it with a fresh new approach to bringing creativity and new techniques to people all over the world. Other than that I spend lots of time scrapbooking and making cards and teaching classes weekly in Gauteng as well as throughout South Africa. I am passionate about what I do and I have had many amazing experiences and met so many famous people throughout my creative journey.

I started off my career in retail working in a paper shop importing handmade speciality papers from japan, Canada, India and America. We also imported a range of rubber stamps (PSX), along with Ranger Products, and Tsukineko to mention a few. This was all back in 2000. I moved to the wholesale part of the business and got involved in window dressing and opening a second flagship store for the company while the owners were overseas. I have travelled extensively to America visiting CHA and Frankfurt Germany to their biggest paper trade show \u201cPaperworld\u201d where I gained valuable knowledge regarding the industry. After a whirlwind love affair with the business I headed off into the sunset to fulfil my second dream by working in publishing. I started off as Technical Editor on a scrapbooking magazine and worked on several other craft publications in the company as well. But this was not enough \u2013 after a long journey I started my own scrapbooking magazine, which transformed into writing a real book book as opposed to a magazine book, and the rest is history. I am currently a best-selling author in the craft industry with my book \u201cScrap-Boek\u201d being the fourth best seller in South Africa and currently in second print. I am a freelance artist doing work for various companies such as Caxton Magazines that includes Rooi Rose and Bona Magazine to mention a few. I travel regularly to various shows teaching and presenting lectures on scrapbooking, card-making and creativity. I have been published several times in American publications such as Taken Ten Magazine, Catch Up Issue \u2013 both Somerset Publications. I was also asked to be a guest artist by Taken Ten Magazine for one of their issues in which an entire article was dedicated to my work. In December 2011, I made my television debut by presenting Christmas Crafts on 3 Talk with Noeleen. After a bit of a sabbatical with my on-line classroom website Scrapcouture, we are busy revamping it with a fresh new approach to bringing creativity and new techniques to people all over the world. Other than that I spend lots of time scrapbooking and making cards and teaching classes weekly in Gauteng as well as throughout South Africa. I am passionate about what I do and I have had many amazing experiences and met so many famous people throughout my creative journey. I am truly blessed with a gift from God!","sameAs":["http:\/\/facebook.com\/jowilna.nolte"],"url":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/author\/jowilna\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7664","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/237"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7664"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7664\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7676,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7664\/revisions\/7676"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7664"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7664"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7664"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
