Yixing teapot will have a sheen or gloss after a period of use.This is also a feature of zisha clay.
The folling pictures was feedback from my client.They just have used the teapots for several weeks.
Some of you may have use yixing teapot for a long time,and i believe your teapots are more beautiful.
Now is your turn to share the pictures of your beauty.

If only I had a camera nice enough to capture my pots well. Every time I try with my camera the pictures just come out... Dull and flat. The photos just don't do my teapots justice. Perhaps I'll find a friend with a nicer camera

The main advantage of an SLR is that it gives you more control over what your camera is doing. If you know what you're doing that enables you to take better photos but it won't automatically take better photos. If you just use automatic or default settings you'll get about the same results as with a cellphone, with only slightly less distortion and noise from having better optics and sensor.
If you have good technique you can take good photos even with a bad camera, but with bad technique you won't get good photos even from a good camera.
There was a thread a few years ago now with lots of great information about how to photograph teaware:

Hopefully that helps you make better photos
Not that my indoor shooting is any good either, it's a bit of a pain setting up lights and tripod and stuff...

I like to use a bad camera to match my bad technique
