I need to photograph my animal shaped quilt so that it looks like an animal shaped quilt and not an animal shape appliqued to a rectangle.
I've laid them flat and shot from above. You get all the detail, but it looks, well, flat. I'm thinking about draping it over a porch railing or chair. Then you get the dimension and edge, but you lose the detail.
The photos will be for a website, so I probably should just give it up and hire a professional. But I want to take one last stab at it myself. Any help out the? I've seen some amazing photographs here. How would you shoot these little quilts?
