New Product Photography

I had been planning on doing new product photography for the greeting cards in my Etsy shop to bring them up to the next level. It’s taken a while to do because I’ve been busy working my other jobs, but I finally finished the first phase of pictures.matryoshka

Each greeting card was placed on a large piece of decorative and elegant scrapbook paper. I used silk flowers, feathers, jewelry, and other small items to help draw out the colors in the artwork or hint at the theme of the piece. I still want to take more pictures featuring the cards in frames since the cards can also be framed as prints.

Here’s a screen shot of my Etsy shop homepage. I had updated about half of the greeting cards at the time of this picture, and it amazes me how much more my eye is drawn to the cards that have the new product photography shots. There’s a new level of sophistication and professionalism that wasn’t quite there before:

Here’s a couple more examples of the new and improved greeting card pictures:

New 5×7″ Greeting Cards

A common item I have been asked to start carrying in my Etsy shop has been greeting cards. I am happy to announce that I now carry blank 5×7″ greeting cards featuring my artwork!

Currently, customers have the option of selecting 1-2 greeting cards or picking a set of 5. All of the artwork I create is made in my home studio and the new greeting cards are also printed from home. There are currently over 20 images to choose from.
