Tabletop Photo Studio
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008
I was on the plane this weekend and I got bored with my book so I checked out the Sky Mall magazine. A lot of ok products until I came across this: tabletop photo studio! This could be great way to improve your picture quality. It retails for about $80 but I am sure you can make your own homegrown studio from looking at this picture from things around the house.

we support independent artists
Wednesday, January 10th, 2007When you create an online store, you need good product images. There is no way around that. You can take your own if you want, but the lighting might turn out funny or the focus might be off. I have been cleaning out my house selling things on eBay, and there the quality doesn’t matter so much. I still sold my old pair of work boots even though the photo was overexposed and the background included a glimpse into my house. If I were trying to look professional though, my photos definitely would not fly.
We realized that Flying Cart stores need a better solution. We have partnered with a group of independent photographers who are willing to come to store locations, take product images, and provide them in a digital format ready to be uploaded. The quality and pricing will vary. Most of our current partners are located in the Chicago area, but the coverage will grow and expand as more people hear about us. We welcome any photographer to partner with us. It is a win-win situation because we support independent artists and our customers get the images that they need.
All the photos on this site have been taken by photographers who are available for hire. Here are some of our first partners:
