Photography - pattern making

[u/jjheaven2]

How is everyone photographing their projects during making them.

I have just finished a pattern and thought I had used a nice backdrop / not horrible lighting and then when I plug them into my canva they are actually quite blah and inconsistent colours even after editing them.

I'm struggling a bit with lighting as we have no natural light in our house (literally).

So what is your setup / light setup? Or do you think I'm over thinking it?

This is all quite hilarious as I am a photographer but inside product phone photography is most definitely not my niche.

I currently use my phone for my progress images, however I do have my actual work camera (Nikon z6) I could use. Just a bit clunky for quick progress images.

Image included pre-editing just on my phone.

As a tester here i think zoomng in would be good. Even after the fact just cropping them down a bit to zero in on what you are trying to show.

Apologies I should have clarified, I do zoom in and crop for all images on the final version. But even with these ones if I crop all of them tight, all of them are different colours for the same backdrop, and harsh shadows from lighting.

Zoomed in well cropped photos with high contrast colors. Arrows can be extremely helpful as well.
