I'd like to get something figured out, because right now I either go with the photos that look bad, which doesn't help sales, or just save the items for shows, which doesn't help sales, either. It seems like most people go with the best photos they can take, and it's not like the rest of my photos aren't take with excellent lighting, so maybe I'll go with that.
I don't sell online so don't have your dilemma. I can say, however, that often time students and customers who have seen my work online usually comment about how much more vibrant and colorful - not to mention iridescent - my beads are irl compared to the pictures they saw on the web.
