Etsy Success Photography Workshop

Photographs are one of the most important aspects of your online presence. It can be a daunting task, but anyone can take distinctive photos, no matter the budget, camera or photography knowledge. In this workshop — led by successful Etsy seller (http://www.etsy.com/people/MiniatureRhino) and photographer Jessica Marquez — we'll talk shop about different types of cameras and what's best for you. We'll also cover camera basics to provide more control over the images you create, key elements to improve your photographs for your Etsy shop, and how to solve some common problems with inexpensive, DIY fixes. These tips — plus lots of inspiring photographs! — should jump start the creative process and get you thinking about creating the best possible images for your Etsy shop.

About Jessica: "I grew fascinated with images (especially snapshots) and pursued art and photography throughout my booklearnin' — all the way from sunny Southern California to an MFA in Imaging Arts from Rochester Institute of Technology in upstate New York. Photography is my great love, second only to my love of craft and making. This pairing has brought me great joy in creating my handmade business Miniature Rhino (http://www.etsy.com/people/MiniatureRhino), which I opened in August of 2008 on Etsy. It's an honor to teach a photography workshop where I get to geek out on my favorite topics!"
