Amy Eaton of Winsome and Whimsy Photography hosted our first workshop in the new shop last night  and, man, was it a healthy combo of fun/valuable information.
How have I survived so long without a lightbox?

Amy taught us a ton of great things.

What makes a great photo, how to take great shots whether you're using a pro camera or a stinky smart phone), how to project your brand image through your photography, how to compose an image, how to make a lightbox (which really is the secret folks...and so simple!), how to stand out among the vast (vast!) competition.

 Amy makes a pro lightbox for a total cost of about $0.50 and 10 minutes.
Amy shows us how it's done and explains the importance of using the right light and composition. 
Also she makes us laugh. Something about buttertarts...
Definitely buttertarts. Who needs a studio when we can do THIS at home!?
Some of us tried our hand at taking some great, web-ready pics. I took this using my iPhone!
 Like this cuff? You can buy it across the street at doree's! I also took this with my phone.Who needs a DLSR? Chumps maybe.


I learned a boatload of things I didn't know I didn't know.
Which I love.

The class was so well received we've decided to host a redo for those who missed out.
If you're a maker wanted to get started selling online, I'd say Product Photography 101 with Amy is a MUST ATTEND.

Tuesday November 5th beginning at 6:30 (and ending sometime close to 9pm), join us in the shop for this awesome workshop.

Book before it fills up by sending me a note at shop@hello-yellow.ca

Workshops are back baby!
Hope to see you soon!
Em
