TIPS FOR TAKING PHOTO'S OF YOUR WORK (reference Guide Central blog)
*Get the lighting right - try to take pic's during the day in natural light
*Keep the background clear - having a busy background will take focus away from what you are capturing
*Focus - blurred shots will get overlooked
*Don't be afraid to use props - use props to enhance your image
*Reflections - be careful what is reflected when you are taking your photo's
