DESCRIPTION
Learn to photograph your miniatures in a way that stops the scroll — and makes buyers want to click.
This 28-page printable guide is written for miniature builders who want to share their work beautifully, whether that's on Instagram, Pinterest, or in an Etsy shop. Not by a marketing agency — by someone who actually builds miniatures and has worked out what genuinely makes the difference in a photo.
No expensive camera required. You can start with what you already have.
__________________________________________________
What's inside (28 pages):
✦ Start Here: Your Minimum Viable Setup — what you truly need to take beautiful photos today (hint: your phone and a window)
✦ Your Equipment — honest comparison of smartphones vs cameras, plus the accessories worth buying and the ones to skip
✦ Understanding Light — natural window light, time of day, direction, and how to soften harsh shadows with things you already own
✦ Artificial Lighting — LED panels, desk lamps, DIY diffusers, and how to create consistent results at night
✦ Backgrounds & Set Design — what to use, what to avoid, and how to create depth without spending much
✦ Props & Styling — scale-correct props, the "odd number" rule, and how to compose a scene that tells a story
✦ Composition & Camera Angles — the doll's eye view, rule of thirds, depth of field, and the angles that work best for miniatures
✦ Camera & Phone Settings — how to lock focus and exposure on your phone, aperture and ISO starting points for DSLR/mirrorless, RAW vs JPEG explained simply
✦ Editing Your Photos — a step-by-step editing order using free apps (Lightroom Mobile, Snapseed), plus tips specific to miniature photography
✦ Platform Strategy — practical, evergreen guidance for Instagram, Etsy, and Pinterest — what each platform rewards and how to show up consistently
✦ Your Etsy Shot List — a printable 8-shot checklist so every listing is covered
✦ Building Your Visual Brand — how to make your feed instantly recognisable
✦ Common Mistakes to Avoid — the most frequent photography errors and how to fix them
✦ Pre-Shoot Checklist — a printable checklist to run through before every session

✦ Bonus Tips & Resources — creative exercises and techniques to keep improving

A note from MiniatureNestStudio:
This guide grew out of real experience photographing miniature builds — figuring out why some shots felt alive and others fell flat. It's written the way I'd explain it to a friend sitting next to me: practical, honest, and specific to miniatures. I hope it helps you show your work the way it deserves to be seen.
