I feel like I’ve reached a sweet spot with cookie decorating, but I’m need to up my content game. I use the same setup every time I take pictures because I’m always exhausted after finishing the cookies and don’t want to be creative for photos 😅. I also make a reel every once in a while when I’m really feeling it, but I could use some advice on those as well.
My instagram is @bunny.brook.cookies if you want to see my other posts/sets and give me feedback on them. And as always, please give any and all constructive feedback on the cookies!

I think you photos look great showing and overall view of your cookies.
I like the setup but you need more light. A ring light can help a lot and is easy to setup quickly

The creases are super distracting- just iron them out (or use Downey wrinkle released) and looks good good!
I would use only a window, sometimes other light sources give off different tones & shadows. I think the set up is great, I always love a good cutting board shot. I had one that had my logo on it and made it easy to avoid doing a watermark. A good app that lets you easily brighten or changed warmth/cool tones will help too. I’m @jbcookie.co if you wanna see some of my cutting board shots 🙂
The biggest change in my photos was when I got a white foam board to set up perpendicular to my table to reflect the light back onto my cookies to avoid the shadows! And agreed with those above; use indirect natural light or a ring light!
I think there is too much going on. I like to use a white Bristol board for my background, and if I add a prop it’s off to the side kinda on the edge of the frame. I also take my photos in portrait mode and edit them using inshot. Natural light is best
