Help with Photographing Mardi Gras Beads

I'm having trouble finding the proper way to photograph mardi gras beads. Any tips would be helpful. Below are some of the items I'm talking about. I have photoshop to use for editing. I mostly shoot in doors because I work during date light hours. b

Re: Help with Photographing Mardi Gras Beads

My best advice would be to definitely find a way to have natural lighting.. maybe shoot on weekends or whenever you have off? I think it would really help the picture quality and make the beads stand out more... having some kind of back drop would be nice too, mainly for the lamp specifically. I know its generic, but I like the pictures with the white background the best, like this one:

Hopefully that's at least somewhat helpful!

I second the white background suggestion. I think that white backgrounds make most items look good, but it would be really great for yours since they're so festive and colorful.
