Making Instructions

As a trial for the format I want my instructions to take I decided to take a series of photos show my building the first of the models (Koshizawa Butterfly). In order to make sure the photos were clear enough I set up some lighting equipment to both reduce shadows and enable me to shoot at a smaller aperture, which increases the depth of field in the photos. Here is a picture of my set-up:

And a sample of the kind of photo my set-up produced:

Shooting in this way with total control also meant that I could take photos with the same settings each time, meaning I could sync my settings in Lightroom and apply any changes from one photo to all of them and know what it would look like. This made editing the photos very quick and easy.
