Digital Photography Workshop for Etsy Sellers -- Jewelry and Small Objects
This workshop is for artists who make jewelry and small objects (smaller than 12" square) who want to learn how to take better pictures using their own digital cameras.
Location: Marlo M's studio in Fremont
Class duration: 4 hours (with max students)
Max. Class Size: 4 students
Description:
As Etsy shop owners*, we know that our photos make or break the success of our stores. Are yours working for you? Ever wonder what makes those top selling Etsy shop's photos pop off the page? Want to learn how to make yours better?
Together we will look at your favorite and top selling Etsy shops (product, not supplies) to learn from their photos. We'll look at your product shots and (kindly) discuss how we can make them better. Then, we will take a few photos of your work and you'll learn how to re-create them at your home or studio.
*If you do not have an Etsy shop but are looking to improve the quality of your photos, this would be a great class for you too! I am happy to help you create the photos that will work for your website and/or catalog.
Please bring with you (required):
* Samples of your best work (up to 4 items to be photographed)
* The shop addresses of 2 Etsy shops that you admire for their photography (in your own category)
* Display materials (ie: paper, ephemera, rocks, plants what-have-you) that you want to use in your photos
* Your digital camera (and instruction manual if you still have it handy)
Please consider bringing (optional):
-- An idea of your shop's "brand" or "identity" (not necessary, but helpful!)
-- Business cards (if you have them)
-- Comfy shoes (we'll be doing a lot of standing!)
-- A snack / drink for our mid-session break (I have a small fridge in the studio)
-- The instruction manual for your camera (if you still have it)
-- A laptop with your preferred photo editing software installed (not required)
I prefer small class sizes so everyone can get their questions answered and besides that, my studio is pretty small! If you're interested in attending this workshop but find it's full before you can sign up, please RSVP to get on the waiting list.
Feel free to email or call me with questions or concerns.
Thanks! -- Marlo M.

Review of Small Object Digital Photography for Etsy Sellers, September 10, 2009
After I took this class with Marlo, the photos of my jewelry were instantly better. For anyone that is not happy with their photos, Marlo can definitely help out. The class sizes are very small which is excellent for one on one time. Marlo also helped out with a few tips for the etsy site which was a plus. Thank you for the great class!

Review of Marlo M, April 10, 2009
I took Marlo's photography workshop recently and really enjoyed it. Marlo began by explaining a little of the technical stuff of photography -- just enough to give us a better understanding of what certain camera settings are actually doing. She then photographed several pieces of jewelry, showing us some of her own techniques using various set-ups, lighting, etc. The rest of the time was spent in a hands-on experience, as we used our own cameras to photograph our own jewelry in the various locations around her studio. Marlo worked with each of us to help us get our shots just right.
The workshop was limited to four people, which offered greater individual attention than you would get in a larger class. Marlo is easy going and encouraging and eager to share her knowledge with others. Her prices are also very reasonable.
Thanks, Marlo! I loved it and learned a lot!
