Product Photo Shoot. And I thought I could do it myself: not


The first photo shoot with the very warm and professional team at Alise Black Photographic Studios in Sydney!

Helinä @ Alise Black Photographic Studios
So I had sent my product photos to the web shop (will reveal later which one). Done, I thought.
Not. They came boomerang back. The quality was unacceptable - my photos were not compliant with the professional standards of the website.

So today I had this session here at Alise Black photographic studio in Sydney.

For me an emotional moment. I have done so many trials with the fabrics, with the manufacturing in Finland, and with the patterns, before I felt comfortable with the final result.

I was last year at this studio as well. I had some profile pictures taken (like the one you might have seen on the My Story page). There is Treia, company director, making customers like me comfortable via her way to speak and setting me at peace and Alise, the photographer with her great talent and years of experience with the cameras.

My preparation was far from perfect: found out the day before that I had not brought back all samples from Finland, so I had to do some last minute sewing myself; also I found myself shopping the insert cushions 2 hours before the shoot. But Alise and Treia made me feel comfortable and we could all focus on the job.


The results? Will keep you posted!
