    Hello all,

    We're working on revising our standards of photography for our catalog records, and we've come to the part of the process where we're deciding what we'll actually be taking the photos with. Before we looked into purchasing actual cameras, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on taking catalog-worthy photos on an iPhone camera, or if that's a recommended practice? We have a small 32" lightbox we'll be using for most of our artifacts, and a table with white backdrop (and studio lights) for our textiles and larger artifacts?

    Thank you!
