Oh I forgot to add. I like natural light. I set up little studios in my kitchen and use a white canvas as my background. I have a collection of vintage-feel scrapbooking paper and to mix it up, I often incorporate these to create some interest. Going to check out the light tent…

This is awesome. I have been searching for an article like this for a while. I think my photos are ok but needing that more “editorial” feel as you described above. Thanks so much :)

One of my favorite tips? Diffuse harsh sunlight by using any of the following:

• Wax paper
• Vellum
• White Tissue Paper

You can use any number of layers you like, but I find that one layer works really well for me!

Although natural light is great, sometimes we can’t wait for it. The other option is to use a light tent. I just blogged about this, lots of pix included, here:

Take a look, I got lots of great comments on the results, so I’ve gotta be doing something right!
