Hey, that blank looks familiar!
Getting photos that do the blanks/pens justice is definitely a fun challenge. As Phil passed along, natural light does help quite a bit. I ended up cheating and hiring a professional for my stock photography but I realize that's not cost effective for individual items like pens. Videos usually do a little better at showcasing the signature sparkle actually. Something to consider if you're selling your pens somewhere that allows video.
Nicely turned! Looks good with the new Leveche! Guess I need to do something with my kit here.... Decisions Decisions...
