Ok, first post ever hope I'm putting it in the correct place. So when it comes to jewelers are the booth shots just to make sure your not using a pop up tent, not using card tables with showcases on top and not having hideous tacky accents sprinkled throughout the booth since you really can't see a complete body of work. I guess it really relies on your other slides? Would love any feedback. Trying to get into cheery creek
As Larry mentioned, Michael, this question would get better attention if you posted it in the Forum. Also, I just did a Search for "booth shot" and came up with these several discussions that should be helpful to you:
There are many, many discussions on this topic, but basically, you want a pristine booth with no extraneous "things" - name signs, chairs, card tables - in it. The competition is tough. The work pretty much assumed to be top notch so if the booth shot looks sloppy you kill your chance.
But to answer your question, they display picture is supposed to be representative of what your display will look like at a show. And hanging large photographs or banners of your jewelry serves two purposes. It makes the booth look fuller and gives you a chance to show more of your work to the jury.
I'm trying to call you about the pictures you sent. If you read this tonight (or tomorrow), please give me a call.

Hi Michael,
The best place to post your question is in the jury questions forum:
