best way to list my work?

Hello! I just added some new pieces on my shop. I am not really sure wether the photos work since some of my illustrations are quite detailed. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Here is a link to my shop:

I am bumping this back up, hoping some more people will respond. In my opinion, the table surface background does nothing for your products. I would switch things around and go with 2nd photo that shows nothing but your artwork. Also, in some instances detail photos might be good!

I'd definitely change your photos. I'd say your main photo needs to be full frame, back it up with a couple of detail shots and have just one of the item in situ.

Well done Claudia for spotting a lonely thread!

The angles you used to take your card pictures are really awkward. I have to squint to figure out what image is on the card.

I agree with Chas. Use the gallery photo for a full frame shot, or stand against a white wall and take a picture holding the card/print.

I think the first pic should def feature the image full frame, or at least 3/4 full frame so viewers can see the image they would be purchasing. They are very nice and colorful! Additional photos can give the context as a greeting card. Also, I would play on the bright and fun colors in your images if you incorporate the background. :)

I'd crop a photo of your art lying flat on the table so that the artwork fills the frame and use that as your first photo. Be sure, also, that you're using natural light for your photos because it's really critical for showing the colors in your art. Rather than standing at the table and shooting downward, I'd sit down and shoot more straight on. You might try adding a few simple props to your card photos, say a pretty pen, a nice desk blotter, a few stamps.
