Flat lay photography is what you’ll see most when scrolling through journaling accounts on social media. Surround your journal with home décor, fabrics, and stationery supplies!
Pro-tip—surround your journal with objects and materials that match the colors in your journal page.
A simple flat lay—close up shots of your favorite part of the page are welcomed!
Environmental
On the go journal artists may want to take a picture of their journals away from the craft desk. Hold your journal up and snap a picture or nestle it next to your latte and breakfast muffin.
Hold your journal up and snap a picture!
Sometimes, nature provides the best backgrounds.

Let your journal stand out on a plain background. Less is more.
