What you need

• A digital SLR
• A piece of raised glass, such as a glass coffee table or a picture frame, set on top of books or boxes to raise it up.
• A piece of glossy photo paper without writing on the back. Generally off brands don’t have any writing on the back.
• An off camera flash or a very bright desk lamp.
• A tripod.
• Macro lens recommended but not required.
• Photoshop or another graphics editing package.
