If you are going to try to sell your scroll saw work online the pictures you take can make or break the sell. The pictures need to be in focus, well lit and uncluttered. You don't need a professional camera but a cell phone camera might not be the way to go either.
One accessory I find is critical is a photography light tent like the one above. These can be purchased for around $50 at Amazon.com. The picture below is an example of a project I shot using my light tent. Notice how the photo really stands out from the background. There is no clutter in the picture. It's lit well and in focus. I also like to sit the project on a piece of glass to get the nice reflection under the project.
The photographer for Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts magazine has a series of tutorial videos that will give you the knowledge you need to take perfect photos of your projects. I encourage you to take advantage of his knowledge of photography. Check out his video series and you will have the ability to improve your online sales.
