Take a look at @pattncraft profile and photos she has posted. I think she takes some of the best bracelet photos and I know she does a bit of photo editing to make the photos look great.

Another great profile to look at is @Tomeo, he is a professional photographer.

If you have no artificial flashlight then use the window light. That's the best ambient light.

Try to use a plain white background and natural lighting. I like to use props in my photos when I can because it makes them more fun, but that’s a personal preference. If you want your entire bracelet to show, including the ties, I wouldn’t recommend taking the photo of the bracelet on your wrist.

You could try to invest in a ring light! I recently got one and it helps a LOT with getting the right amount of light! I would also recommend taking your photos in the daytime near a window! I hope this made sense and helped!

I try to take pictures while there is sunlight and put my phone on a flat surface. I also try to take higher quality pics through third-party apps or changing my camera setting to a higher one! Lastly, I try my best to make the background a color that will allow the colors on my bracelet to pop. This could mean contrasting colors! Hope this helps.

personally i prefer to use a filter over my pictures, and will turn up the brightness to make it look more like natural light since a lot of the time it’s difficult for me as well to get natural light. i also don’t like pictures with the bracelet on my wrist, i just set it out on some fabric lying around and take the picture with it lying flat. if you have some fabric or colored paper around then you can use that for your background, varying the colors based on what colors you want to pop in your bracelet <3

@tary I'd recommend taking your pictures outside! Sunlight really helps, and you can go in with apps like VSCO to edit the photos and make the colors closer to the actual bracelet.
