Photography Collab

[Former_Member]

I saw this from another Team Leader in the Etsy Fellowship Team and loved it!

We all know how important good quality product shots are. We're told this day in and day out. But, we're not all savvy at the camera. Here is an opportunity we can come together and use to get those amazing product photos to use in our shop listings, blogs, marketing materials and more.

Here's how it works.
Each month or quarter we'll pick a theme. Anyone and everyone who has products that fit that theme can participate in that round. Makes it easier when maybe the products work together or can use the same setup, etc.

The other team charges $20 per member participating. We'll figure it out depending on how many want to do this.

Members will ship products to us and include a return shipping label.

I'm thinking we can start this at the beginning of the year. It's too busy this time of year to just start something like this up. But, in the meantime, I'd like to see the interest level in something like this.

Who would be interested?

Post below yes/no and the type/style of items you sell. Thanks!!

Probably not - selling jewelry.

[Former_Member]

Yes! I struggle with product photography and rely on selfies- not the best...

Kari :-) I got your name down and will send more info if we get enough people interested. Thanks!

I'm probably not interested - I've finally been able to figure out exactly how to photograph my stuff - it took a while, but I feel like I'm there. YAY!!

[Former_Member]

Lisajoy - I'm glad to hear that! I took a look at your shop and you're right, your pictures are great! Very clean and sharp. Congrats :-)

Hello to u all....

I recently came back to Greece ! I used to do some modelling when in London. As I came back here and started making what i sell, I decided to send some of my products to my friends models and photographers in London to shoot them for me. However, it is harder to do so for me financially, so if anyone is interested, I have a friend photographer who can help me out in my photo shoots. If any of you have products that are similarly themed to my photo shoots, we could collaborate and if you send them to me i could use them in my shoots, so we all win !!! The resulting pictures can then be used by myself, whoever has supplied their products for the shoot and obviously use them around the social media. I am willing to collaborate if i can do so, and also model for your products but i can only do that where i am. I will have to ask the photographer though if its ok to do this for a very small cost.

My modelling page is :

and my products are on etsy and also here as i have not listed them all on etsy :

My next shoot is with a husky - wolf hybrid (mine) and done as protest against animal cruelty and those killing them for their fur and to eat them!!! So if anyone has something to contirbute to this please let me know. It will also have a native indian theme to it, but that will be for the main reason to display some things relevant about their civilisation and to inform people of the reality that they do not know of, hence educational in many ways ! Im also going to try use it to help dogs in Asia and Indonesia and see if i can get people who are interested to publish the pictures.

Please let me know your ideas and feedback and if you would be able to help in any way possible as im still collecting what i need for it. Also if i can help you i will do my best to do so.
