Heidi you are an inspiration!!!!

I've actually already purchased your book but as gushy as this sounds I would actually love a signed copy!!!!!! (not sure if the giveaway is for signed or not). Since picking you book up from my favorite little bookstore in Melbourne "can do books", I haven't put it down and most things in my life have gone a little neglected (including my two little boys!!!).
Your book was just the encouragement I was looking for to take that next step with my photography.
So in saying all this, my post is less of an entry and more of a thank you!!!!

Hey teamie! I would love to own a copy of your book to learn even more about how to take lovely photos! I bought a new DSLR camera this past year and I am still learning the ins and outs of using one. I'm also hoping this book could give me some lighting tips - Thanks for the opportunity!!

I have been eying your book for a while, and I would be so thrilled to own a copy of it. I would use it as a reference for my product shots, since I am really just guessing right now. Everything I learned so far was from a post on the etsy blog that was written by... you! So informative and broken into bite size chunks that I could really grasp as a newbie photographer.

Needless to say, photographs are vitally important to fully represent the amount of time we spend on our projects, but, in the end, they tend to be rushed and ill considered. I'd love to know how to better photograph my work.

I'm in the market to buy a camera and your book would help me figure out what to look for! The pics I take right now on josiekressner.tumblr.com are from borrowed cameras where I just experiment with different settings. Can't wait to know a camera and the fundamentals well enough to come up with something consistently great in one or two shots!

Hi - thanks for this great opportunity. All I can say is that I am new to sewing and new to blogging to track my progress and I need all the help I can get to make me and my garments look good :-(

I enjoy blogging but my photos never quite look as appealing as I would like. I think a book like this would help me make more creative photographs.

I really want to share on my blog the finer details of my sewing/knitting/jewellery and would love your book to be in my library.

Heidi Adnum said...

Thanks so much for all of your entries so far. Keep them coming!

Heather, thank you for buying the book and for your kind words. Drop me a line and we'll chat about signing.

Hi there!
I am a crafter and illustration student. I sell my stuff since a long time on markets and on etsy, and I don't think the photos of my products are as good as they could be! I have been surfing the web for advices now and then for a very long time, I think your book would help me improve my pictures a lot!
Thanks!

Hi Heidi,

I met you at week or two ago at The Studio & you took some beautiful shots of our wedding bouquets :)
Why I need your book do you ask?
Well I need your book so I can GROW and IMPROVE.
I am having trouble liking the photo's that I have previously taken myself for our Etsy shop and have got extremely fussy (according to my sister) when taking photo's now since seeing the clean pic's you have taken.
I want knowledge, tips, tricks of the trade about taking snaps of my work so I can sleep at night with your handy book under my pillow :)
Knowledge is Power.........
Thanks
Nicole
