Things You'll Need:
- Poster board
- Natural light
- Photo editing software
-
Step 1
Lay a large piece of poster board in natural, but not direct, sunlight. Near a window or door is great, but don't have the sunlight streaming on the poster board or the lighting will be too severe.
-
Step 2
Lay the book on the poster board with the spine facing you. Take several pictures of the book, being sure to fill the entire frame with the book.
-
Step 3
In your photo editing software, rotate the picture so that the book is now "standing" upright.
