Thank you for the tips, the one that I find most useful is identifying a color theme and sticking to that as I tend to randomly put things onto the table without thinking about colors. 

A. Skincare Products

This class inspired me to snap a series of flatlay images for a blog story on skincare products. A lot of items had to be included for the article and I tried my best to keep the colors in harmony. You're welcome to view the rest of the images at http://blog.moonberry.com.

Shot using iPhone 6S+ and edited with Snapseed.

B. 24 Karat Brownie

A slice of very decadent brownie from an artisanal bakery. The beautiful gold dusting on the brownie is just screaming for a flatlay! I applied the rule of thirds tip in these shots. I can't decide which one to post on my Instagram @moonberry. Which one do you prefer?

Shot using camera and edited in Lightroom.
