Idk how you all do it. Very few times am I able to get a 'nice' shot of one of my specimens. I want to know how you guys go about photographing your bugs. I use my iphone14 plus which you'd think would be good enough, but most of the work is in the lighting, and unfortunately I can never get a good light source. I try using my headlamp and desk lamp but those always cast a shadow at certain angles and I can't get a top-down view without my phone completely casting a shadow. I can't use natural light because the only access I have to natural light in my room is through one window and it's not filtered through well enough.
I really need to start taking nice photos of my specimens for my website. Please share your photographing tactics and any recommendations you have for me.

that and the Google Pixel 8 Pro takes pretty good macro shots for a phone. Great low light shots, too. I'm a pixel fanboy for sure.
