We all love to share our painted miniatures online be it in Discord, WhatsApp group, Facebook or Instagram etc. to get critiques or likes or just to add into your plethora of painted miniatures to show off your hobby. But not having basic knowledge of how to take photographs of miniatures might get your post be swiped up unnoticed or else unable to get proper critiques.
