Photograph Your Knits (Or Crafts of Any Kind!)

This is a workshop I love offering, but it is very hands on- so I only offer it in person! Participants bring 2-3 items they would like photographed, finished or in-progress. I go through a variety of smartphone photography techniques that help anyone take better photos with your smartphone- flatlays, modelled, and more! Participants leave with photos of their items they can use for social media, patterns, and more. In the above four photos, I took all of them all by myself- including the photo of me! And I can show you how to do it, too.
