Your customers cannot pick the product up. The photographs have to answer their questions. The Photography Kit is a practical system you can use beside you while you photograph your products — using the phone you already have.
What’s included
A shot planner and a one-page shoot card.
A starting set for ceramics, jewellery, candles, textiles and prints.
A photo rescue list for dark, flat, cluttered or inconsistent pictures.
A finished mug example, with photographs.
A photo example library: hero, detail, scale, in use, packaging, variations, and simple before-and-after comparisons.
One worked 8-photo set, which you adapt. You do not need those exact eight pictures.
Who it’s for
Makers selling on their own site, a marketplace, social media, or at a market. A phone is enough. It is a digital product, not a course, and not a promise of sales.
A look inside
Two pages from the kit, filled with the mug example. You replace every line after payment. These are worksheets, not a reading guide.

Every photo should have a job.
A picture should answer a buyer’s question, or it can come out of the set.
Photo Example Library
Practical examples of a main photo, a detail, scale, in use, a setting, packaging, colour options and texture, plus two simple comparisons of common mistakes. The full library is inside the kit.
