## Tips for great pictures
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Below are just a few easy tips and tricks for your Showcase post.
|
||||||
|
Of course, any Showcase is infinitely better than nothing, so go ahead and send us those low-light mirror selfies - we love them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But if you want to take things to the next level, a few things to consider:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Show it all
|
||||||
|
Show the whole garment. From multiple angles, if possible.
|
||||||
|
It's awesome to see garments from the front, but back and side views can be really helpful, too.
|
||||||
|
Bonus points for adding in a seated picture, which are especially great for sewists who use a wheelchair.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Embrace the light
|
||||||
|
Take pictures in the best light you can — that might be next to a bright window,
|
||||||
|
in a room where you've turned on all the extra lamps you could find,
|
||||||
|
or that elusive "golden hour" outdoors.
|
||||||
|
Bonus points if you can make it bright enough to not need a flash.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Background
|
||||||
|
A neutral background can be helpful for seeing details.
|
||||||
|
Try to avoid black on black or another setting that makes it hard to see what is what.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And remember that the outdoors is often the best background.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Close-ups
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you nailed that welt pocket or hand-stitched all your buttonholes, go ahead and show them off.
|
||||||
|
Close-up pictures make the showcase so much more relevant for people looking to make the same thing.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Unpublished showcases are tracked as [GitHub issues](https://guides.github.com/features/issues/).
|
|
||||||
Create an issue [in our monorepo](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing/issues/new?assignees=\&labels=%F0%9F%91%8D+good+first+issue%2C+%F0%9F%93%B8+showcase%2C+%F0%9F%A4%97+community\&template=showcase-template.md\&title=Create+showcase+from+this+content) when you've made one of our patterns, or have come across pictures from another maker who did.
