Photographing sequins is all about managing reflections. To get that perfect 'shimmer' without harsh glares, use diffused natural light. For example, when shooting a unicorn sequin pillow, position it near a window but avoid direct sunlight. This allows the colors to remain colorful while the sequins catch soft highlights.

If you're using a sequin wall as a backdrop, try using a wide aperture (low f-number) to create a beautiful bokeh effect. This turns the individual sequins into soft, glowing circles of light that make your subject stand out. It's a favorite technique for high-end fashion and lifestyle photography.
Don't forget to capture the texture! Close-up shots of sequin pillows can show the transition between the two colors when the sequins are flipped. Small sequin accessories also make great subjects for macro photography, allowing you to showcase the detailed details and craftsmanship of each piece.
