Doing it myself
it was a picture much like this one that first inspired me to take my own pictures. Originally I thought I’d use a mannequin, I’d seen it done reasonably well on a couple of sites, but they were clothing sites & clothes look far better on mannequins than socks & stockings do. Being my own model and photographer has saved me a small fortune, though it sometimes brings attention my shy side isn’t sure how to handle. In the beginning it was hard enough to show off my socked feet and I told almost no one that these pictures were in fact of me, not even friends or coworkers knew. The thought of displaying tights or pantyhose was way too much, but the time has come and I’m long since over the worry of showing my thighs & hips. I tried to make the tights shots show the products accurately without being too revealing, I had to reshoot the spandex tights because the first set didn’t meet those goals. I now present the tights page, we only have three styles but will be adding to it throughout fall & winter and for years to come. As for the new banner, I have some more work to do to it, I need to clean it up & make the lines sharper, I just couldn’t wait to share it…
