critique my porn??

[krissy]

i, at some point in the future, would like to have a website and while i am not soaping, i am practicing taking pictures and doing research. would y'all mind looking at my soap porn and letting me know what looks better ect??
i was playing with different lighting and settings on my camera

these are actually donniej's



these are plumeria & tangerine with orange tea



this is chamomile and honey with chamomile tea added


this is lemongrass

Very pretty! I like the layout, it shows the soap well. The only suggestion I have is to use natural light. The light looks a bit yellow and dim in some pics? I use indirect afternoon light for all my product photos (not soap related, but a product photo is a product photo to some extent.) The natural light gives a truer color and detail IMHO. As a consumer, something about bright photos says happy, bright and clean to me, and makes me want to buy. Good luck!

thanks! i wanted more natural light but DH who is a director/videographer/editor set up a little set for me to use for pics and this is what i got out of them. lol, i am going to try more stuff, these are just a jumping off point

Love the layouts. I don't know anything about photography (take a look at some of my pics), but the bottom 3 do seem darker or muted. I like the top 3 better. And your soaps looks divine!

Hi Krissy! This may be like taking coal to Newcastle due to yr DH profession,but I found a great lightbox how-to.All you need is a cardboard box,greaseproof & cardboard.

I love the phrase soap-porn, it sounds clean and dirty all at the same time.

Ah, yes, I forgot about those. New images are beginning to appear. Maybe you can get clean and satisfied at the same time with those.

i'd think it'd be more likely they'd end up with a rash! lol, i think i will stick to rectangles!!!

Your layouts look great. I have a hard time getting good light for mine and I've found that taking them outside helps.

Fabulous!

This is so ironic that we're talking about phallic soap shapes and soap porn, because I went on Camden Grey's web site last night, having never snooped around on there before. I'm thinking, "Wow, this is a nice, classy company!" And then I found the "adult" soap molds....LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure how I would feel creating "soap junk."
