General appearance and "about" pictures

[DamianMilesJeweller]

Hi,
I need a little help. I want to put a few pictures in the "about" section of my shop, but don't know what people would like to see. I thought about the "workspace" shot, but I don't have the lovely, pristine workspace that the Etsy blogs would have you all believe we have. Mine is a bench that had been used for 30 years before me. "the view from my workshop" shot is also out, as I don't have windows.

Any thoughts? What would you like to see?

Thanks, D

Love the idea of the bench. No windows.....snap!
Tools laid out?

I would clear a little space on your bench and photograph your tools (close up and arty) and maybe get someone to take a close up of your hands or machinery whilst you're making something? You? or items that inspire you?

Arty tool shot now on.

Thanks

Love those shots, looks really good!

Damian, my space looks nothing like those bizarre-white-studios-with-nothing-in-them either (like those in the Etsy Blog). My space is floor-to-ceiling stuff (though well organised or I'd go crazy) and is about 4ft x 8ft in total. What you see in my pic, is pretty much it! Your new shot is intriguing :-)

Thanks Lorraine.

Maria: you should have seen the other side of the workshop when I took the shot! Piled high with all the stuff that's usually on there ;-)

I have a "mood box" that has bits of metal that I thought were interesting, stones, feathers and fur, bits of wood grain and all sorts of other weird bits. I thought it was a bit scary to photograph. I am trying to get some space on a wall for a board, but I have to touch things.

Thanks for your imput so far, I still have one space, but I think I'm going to change things around.
