I would just like to suggest reading a blog post at poppytalk called Stylin'101: How to create amazing product photos. I glaze over beautiful soaps because the photos are bad, gloomy, dark or just not lit well. I know I'm missing out but I skim the internet for hours.... I can't look at every soap photo. They have to leap out at me. Natural light and detail grab my attention. I know everyone has a window, you don't need a studio to have great pictures! Look at this lavender soap. It is probably right near a kitchen window. Look at the tile behind it. But it caught my eye, because natural light brings out the natural colors and shades beautifully....etc. Also, don't get scared to get close. You don't have to get as close as long winter farm's photos, but how nice is it to see the soap up close and not a whole lot of background?

I'm just trying to give some tips because if your soaps are beautiful but people are not featuring them in blog posts, think about your photos. Are they calming to look at? Could you imagine it on a magazine cover? Try natural light with a bare background... look at the focus. Be picky.

Hope you liked the porn on this fine Sunday.
