Taking good photos of your work is one way to improve your chance of being featured in the magazine or on FineWoodworking.com. Here are some tips:

• Shoot your work against a neutral background; a bed sheet or drop cloth will suffice.
• Make sure you have plenty of indirect light from windows or light fixtures.
• Take photos from many angles, overall and up close, to provide a complete presentation of your work.
• Clean the furniture, and don't clutter the object with items such as books or collectibles.
• Do not alter the images or remove the background electronically.
