Tuesday Tips #330 – Aceing the Flat Lay

As we discuss our tips this month, the term “flat lay” can be deceiving because in no certain terms, we don’t want to keep things flat every time. When setting up your flat lay display, choose items of varying height to create visual interest across your image. The varying heights give the perception of a more real and less contrived image. So if you are looking for a more casual, laid-back look, start stacking and staggering and see where the image takes you! Keep in mind as you move things around you will need to be conscious of your lighting source and shadows to ensure they are adding and not distracting from your overall message.
