The 1920's obsession rolls on... photographing more costumes for the website

I've just finished adding some more 1920's costumes to my website.  It took quite a long time... There's the setting up of the backdrop, dressing the stand (sometimes looks like I'm wrestling it!), taking the photos, editing and logging on to upload all the information. I'm not a 'digital native' so I'm just happy to be able to update my website, or post something on instagram. 

For reference, when I was at college, you had to add text to a picture by tracing printed letters through a lightbox, literally a perspex box that you shone a light through.  I'm aware I sound old and there's a reason for that!

I think I'm average at photography, and marketing, and using technology in general.  And I'm OK with being average, but I'd be disappointed if anyone who came to the studio looked or felt anywhere near average in their costume.  That's the part I'm focused on - and I'll just cope with having slightly rubbish photo skills for the moment...

(PS: I tried to save this blog twice and had to rewrite it - the original ones were lost in the void).
