Help with Bag Pictures.....

[TheCrookedBobble]

I love to make these large bags, but I have difficulty getting the major portion of it to fit in the picture.....any good ideas on how to photograph bags?

I don't have a problem with my smaller ones, just mainly the messenger bag variety.....but I'll take any helpful hints I can get:) Thanks so much!
Here is my latest example....

Stuff the bag so that it stands on it's own and photograph it against a solid white background, like this:

Here is how a solid white background is done:

There is other less costly software that works if Photoshop does not fit into your budget

If you are having an issue with portraying the size of the bag, you could include a pic with a person using it or picture it with a familiar object such as a travel coffee mug.

Good idea Lizabeth:) As soon as it stops raining here, I can hopefully get some good outside shots!
