I'd love some advice on what lighting to use for my nail polish swatch photos - any of you have any tricks to share?
I'm using just daylight from the window at the moment, but now we've passed the midsummer solstice which means that here in Sweden it will start to get dark again in a few months. Until then I need to find the best solution for indoor/photo box photography, otherwise I'll be out of a hobby until next spring.
All tips and tricks are more than welcome, and I bet there are plenty of people who also wants to know!
I usually use natural light from a window as well, but if it's dark and I need to take a photo of something, I have a lamp that claims to imitate natural light that works great!
