In ceramics, photographing and filing your work is very important and as glazed ceramic work has a glass surface it cannot be photographed with a flash as this reflects on the object being photographed. You must have a good, strong, steady tripod so the camera is completely static when taking a photo as the slightest movement will spoil it.
