Amazing product photos thanks to Chinling Photography
Luckily, I had an easy option. I just asked Chinling of www.chinlingphotography.com to help me out. She's primarily a wedding photographer, but to say that she has an artistic eye really understates the talent that she brings even to product photography. When we were setting up for one of her photoshoots she asked me what props I was going to bring. "Props?" I said... Of course, it never occurred to me that some simple props really help people understand really important things, like the size of a product, but also provide cues on how they are supposed to use it and, most importantly, how they are supposed to feel about the product and even what type of people should be considering the product (for example check out the buffs that she photographed below with the PS4 and Xbox game controllers).
Donations to the COVID-19 Response Fund
I am offering cotton masks for sale at the Noname Nerd with 100% of the sales going to the COVID-19 Response Fund. Let me be clear, I don't make any money from importing and selling these masks. These are meant to help raise money for the COVID-19 Response Fund only. My goal is to raise $10,000 for this fund. Hopefully, the masks will also put at least a few more masks out there to make a dent in the shortage that the US faces. They aren't the medical-grade masks, but they can help reduce virus spread. I would encourage you to buy one and give it away to someone in a vulnerable population or a healthcare worker. Or keep it for yourself and use it to help reduce the spread of the virus.
