Pretty Handmade

Do you sell art prints, printables or stationery? You've come to the right place. I'd say you probably heard about the importance of your listings photos right?

A good photo doesn't only mean that you increase your chances to make more sales, it most importantly shows that you're doing what it takes to make your shop look as good it can be, that you care about your creations and that you want your customers to have a great first impression.

With more and more online shops opening, competition gets higher and being unique plays a key part in being successful. It can quickly get frustrating to see your competitors showing off their new listings with clean and polished images while you're struggling to understand what the heck is Aperture about. I know the feeling...

Online shopping is great, but the process goes like this: people see your product, among a lot of similar ones, and they can only see it with their eyes. No smell, no touch, no trying it on. Just their eyes. So you have to give your product photos all you've got.

More than good lighting, you want to give them a message, tell a story, and share your feelings. And this is what I will teach you in this 4 week course.

Imagine... What if each of your listings was showing off a great styled photo, a detailed shot, and even a group image cross-selling your collection? What if your shop was welcoming new customers with a really nice banner telling your story. How would this feel?

How proud would you be to see your images being repinned on Pinterest? And tell yourself that you did all the job? What if you train your eye to the point that in just a few weeks you need only half a day to shoot your new collections and that you have amazing Christmas images for the first time this year? And what if you had fun doing all of it?

What if you could look at your DSLR camera, know what buttons are your friends and create really cool photos in minutes? Photography and styling really does NOT have to be complicated. And it does not have to be expensive either! In this course I will show how I used the cheapest tools and second hand equipment and made the most out of it. If I could do it, so can you! The only difference is that you will be able to skip all the boring parts of the learning curve.

In 4 weeks, you can create your own styled stationery and art print photos at home. The key is to do things in order:

Week 01 will be about connecting your brand, your shop, your products with props.
Week 02 is all about styling. Watch out, this part can become addictive.
Week 03: take your camera, follow my steps and start shooting!
Week 04 will be for retouching your photos. Not so fun, BUT you can make it quick and learn to automate it. At least that's what I do.

BONUS: I'll also teach you how to create some smart objects so you can reuse some photos, it's a good time saver!

Facebook community: You will also have access to an online community where you can exchange on your progress, support each other's work and of course I'll be there as well to help you out throughout the course.

Looking forward to seeing you in the class!
