Spot on all around 👌🏻👌🏻 I’m all iPhone all the time but constantly think how nice it’d be to outsource the shooting and editing. Problem is I work like an hour a day in the shop doing little steps here and there and can’t imagine someone showing up for the random short times. And I don’t have room for two people in the shop 😆 So maybe I keep shooting and outsource for the editing…. Someday.

Dude you are the last person that needs to worry about photography! You’re an inspiration to me!

totally agree....the second part of this is the color editing....most important and it isnt hard as there are a heap of free software programs out there for both phones and pc...all you need to do is get the piece to look a similar colour to your naked eye as it does on the screen......you don't want your clients going..... awww the timber is darker or lighter then I was expecting...I have seen images online that look amazing yet the item in person looks like crap...lol...lol....dont use editing to build false expectations by your clients...and yes some timbers and grains are a bitch to photograph so they look the same as the naked eye...The third part is the lighting...this is a little more complex but if you leave your camera settings on default and play with lighting and angles you will be surprised at how good an image you can produce.....cheers
