Discuss the fun task of marketing a t-shirt shop. Where to advertise, link building, word of mouth, press releases, search engine marketing, keyword advertising, magazines, etc.
I just took some quick shots of myself inside my house against a backdrop. I have normal lights on either side of me that were built into the house when I bought it so I used those for lighting. I also bought 2 halogen work lights that are really bright they almost seem too bright to use.
I'm using my canon powershot a630 camera and a tri pod. I would like to take some good quality pics for my website over the weekend. I'd love to be able to do it outside but unfortunately it's -30! I have a bunch of friends that are willing to be models and they are all gun hoe!
Here's a few of the pictures I took. The last 1 is with one of the work lights pointed down right in front of me.
Obviously I'll iron the drop sheet behind me before I take more pictures.

I think the first two look really good! The lighting on the third looks a bit too unnatural.
The photos are a bit blurry when viewed at full resolution, but they would work fine once sized down for web photos.
If the second one is supposed to be showcasing the hat, I would adjust the focus a bit so it's catching the details of the hat embroidery. Right now your face is in focus more than the hat.
there good man except the last but you heard taht already ...and there's always ...always PHOTOSHOP....i did mine in the living room too with so so lighting..but i changed the background completely in photoshop
Much better, Derek ... perfect use of shadow and light. And you will always be harder on your self shots. I thought about doing some, for our tees ... but I am older, and not sure how much my ugly mug will distract from the design. Proper use of shadow might solve that problem, LOL ... unless, from the neck down works for male tees!
LOL ... don't sweat it, just shoot A LOT. I had my wife take a pic of me wearing one of Rodney's tees (from the contest back August) ... had to take over a dozen, before we agreed on one (still not happy with it) for just a silly picture to post.
The more you take, the more you'll find your groove, man ... keep it up!
i have over 3000 pics that i took for my gear..... some i had to reshoot since my iso levels were high...... but looking to do a different look for the 2008 setup...... not sure what though yet.......
plus working on another line that might be out later this year...not sure yet......
Here's a product shot I just took with a homemade light box that took me 5 minutes and $30 to make. I know that the background is a little off white but I really have no way of getting a proper white balance on my camera.

August is Member Appreciation Month at T-ShirtForums.com - 
I know the last one sucks but I just threw that in there to show what the halogen light looked like.
