Here are some of the first photos of tote bags that I shot for the Literally Yours Shop at Etsy. I never played a photographer before. First, I rarely look good on photos which literally drives me mad, and second I was always surrounded by great graphic designers and photographers who know how to shoot great pictures. 

Though I have been at professional photo shots hundred times before for print ads, I was never behind the camera too. Actually I was always behind the person who is behind the camera, checking not the quality of light or the image, but only the expression and the pose of the model. “Is it possible for her to hold the product a little closer to her heart? As if she can not live without it?” Yes, you get the picture. 

But for those pictures I had to do it myself. Given the fact that I only know how to zoom, I had to wait for two days for a beautiful sunny morning. And I am lucky to have a beautiful back yard full of lovely trees, rustic fences, and river washed tree branches Aaron love to pick up from the beach. 

And afterwards I shot them, I did little adjustments on Pixlr express, that my friend Ozan suggested me to use -thanks again bro!

After seeing the pictures, Seda told me she thinks they are great on one of our Skype conversations. Only the blue bag-packer bag looks a little bit too exposed, she said. Very very kind of her :) I have to do a re-shoot anyway since we are preparing some labels for the tote bags at the moment. More info about those soon. 

Literally Yours, Ayca.
