Thank you Scott.
Thanks for the compliment on the photos, they are only taken on iPhone. I have a DSLR, but that is less convenient just for a handful of shots.

I bought a cheap lighting kit off eBay. Comes with a couple of lights, with daylight bulbs and diffusers, and the background is a black roller blind from Wilko's.
