Part 2: making an album/poster It is just as important to nicely present your model, thus we will need to make an album or a poster Using a floor and a background will make your photos look seamless (note: this can be added afterwards with Photoshop or similar software) Choose the right angles (i.e. just as taking photos of your food) Example: http://cargocollective.com/alexwexler/Behance Part 2: making an album/poster
