| There's a bit of a who-had-the-worst-photos competition between a few of us Etsy Admin who also run Etsy shops. We get a good laugh at our initial photo attempts and I know we're not the only ones. I reached out to a few long-time Etsians who were happy to share their most cringe-worthy beginner photos with us. The improvement each of these artists and crafters have made over the years is inspiring! I've accompanied each example with a must-read article to help you achieve an "after" quality photo.   sudlow: "The early months/years were before I discovered I could really create some good lighting and learned what it took to make jewelry shine, before I had a good digital camera, cared about color balancing and before my work really took over and improved in quality."

Phydeaux: "I knew nothing about light, digital cameras, etc. I'd been taking pictures in my living room, where the light was nonexistent, so this was the best of a lot of really, really bad photos. I took this in my kitchen, at night, under incandescent light. I spent the next few months immersing myself in a new foreign language (white balance? macro? contrast?). I studied photos on Etsy, read books and blogs about photography, and took a gazillion photos." Get this look by reading Photographing for Success Do you have a dramatic before and after to share?
