You’re a small ecommerce seller or a creative maker. And you’re struggling to take high-quality product photos that look professional. You make the most fantastic handmade craft, like pottery, knitting recipes or soaps, and you dream about taking photo of your craft that corresponds with the quality of the product.
Your creative makes are not just something made out of a
factory. You’ve spent a long time designing and creating, and you that handcrafted items are a pleasure for your customers to own and talk about. They’re unique.
Where to start
The challenge is that you have no clue where to start. You’re overwhelmed by things about everything from lighting, props, image editing, just to mention a few.
I dream of giving you as a solo-entrepreneur and a absolute beginner into the world of photography, to give you step-by-step guidance of taking beautiful photos of your own handmade creations.
I have been an avid photographer most of my life. I got my first single lens reflex camera when I was 14 years old, and have always been enjoying taking photos. At that time it was with film, and it was always with great suspense, that I went to the photo store to pick up the photos. Now, it’s so much easier with digital cameras where you can shoot many photos at no extra cost.

PS.
The name Kollated combines the English word collated, to collect and organise with the old Nordic word kolle, which means to build supporting poles. I believe that collating beautiful photos on your website is one of the very important parts of building a website that attracts customers.
