Resting on a palm Resting on a palm Resting on a palm

The same scene, three different objects — because what you make is not what anyone else makes.

Resting on an open palm, shot close, for the smallest things you make.

Send one photo of what you made and we restage that — we never invent an object. Extra angles only help when a scene shows a side your photo does not.

An open palm, seen from just above, with the object lying in it and the fingers curled slightly at the edges of the frame. The camera is close enough that the lines of the hand are visible, which is the scale cue, and the depth of field is shallow enough that only the object is truly sharp.

This is the version of the hand shot for the very small: stud earrings, charms, rings, pins, miniatures, single sweets, seed packets. Holding something that size between finger and thumb hides half of it, and an open palm does not. Anything bigger than a palm will look awkward here and belongs with the held-in-hand scene instead.

A close, well-lit photograph of the object on a plain surface is what we need — closer than feels natural, so the detail survives being reproduced small. Fine chains and thin wire should be laid out untangled; we keep the arrangement you send.
