<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moreotherstuff, post: 75490, member: 56&quot;]A lot of people use props to very good effect.&nbsp; I&#039;m a bit envious of them because they can create a very attractive ambiance around their product.&nbsp; By comparison, my photos are very plain.&nbsp; I think of it as taking a journalistic approach, rather than artistic.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a general rule (there are exceptions), I like the things I photograph to be standing straight and centered.&nbsp; This rarely happens without editing and I can&#039;t trust simple eyeballing to achieve the end.&nbsp; So when I&#039;m editing, I use Mirror, Crop and Rotate quite a bit (and frequently first). I try to get things to the point where mirroring an item only has the shadows switching sides.&nbsp; It can be quite surprising how much an item leaps about and leans precariously when a photograph is mirrored.&nbsp; Just be sure that when you&#039;re done, you&#039;re showing the correct orientation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
