## Style notes

- Phone is fine; tripod for product shots, handheld OK for process shots.
- Soft natural light (north window) preferred over flash.
- Walnut tone is warm — don't crush blacks; preserve grain detail.
- Brass should hold highlight without burning; underexpose by 1/3 stop if needed.
- Avoid logos, brand names, or messy backgrounds in any product shot.
- All photos: shoot 5–10 takes, pick best in post.
