Learning Product Photography is absolutely vital for selling your leather work online!
I've been getting requests to do some product photography how to's for a while now. Just keep in mind that I am not a professional photographer. This is just what works for me, and these are some beginner-level tips.
As I've continued down my leather working journey, photography is something I've gotten more and more into. It has pretty much become a hobby in and of itself and I find myself taking pics almost as much as leather working.
If there is any interest in this video, I'll do some more for sure and we can get a bit deeper into it (tone curve, colour grading, etc).

My name is Tim. Thanks for checking out my YouTube channel. I started leather working in July of 2020. My passion for leather work quickly grew as I learned and practiced. I received a ton of help from the leather working community when I was new and now I aim to pass on what I learn to other beginner leather workers. I post weekly leather craft videos that include tutorials, free pdf pattern templates, how to's, tips and tricks, and any other leather work content that I think could help you out!
