Tips for photographing your furniture
| 1. |
Use 35mm color print (negative) film of moderate speed (ISO 200-400) or digital images shot at the highest resolution. Do not alter the images electronically.
|
| 2. |
Clean the furniture.
|
| 3. |
However you decide to light the furniture, it will appear more three-dimensional if each plane has a different brightness. Take care however to avoid excessively bright highlights or dark shadows.
|
| 4. |
To be sure the photos will be free of distortion, avoid the use of wide-angle lenses and photograph with the camera positioned even with the center of the furniture both vertically and horizontally.
|
| 5. |
Photograph the furniture from several angles. Include some head-on shots, as well as some 3/4 views.
|
| 6. |
Keep the background simple. A cluttered or otherwise distracting background may draw the viewer's attention away from the subject.
