Photography is a skill unto itself and one that I freely admit we are not experts at. We lack the know-how at present to take better pics, but, we are aware that they don't present the best possible image of the beautiful minis. We are working on it, though.
Print them on a A3 or even A2 format on mat photo paper and just curve them slightly. Don't create a hard fold in them. Aim at least 2 good light sources at them and you'll get some way better pictures already.
Don't shell out for a big expensive DSLR btw. Their limited depth of field due to their large sensors makes it harder to take shots of miniatures... A higher end compact camera will get you good results as well.
The boy, I say, the boy is as sharp as a sack of wet mice...

+1 to what Reece said....
Elmir, that's great advice for all of us amateur photographers trying to make mini's look good!

You can get very far with just 2 lamps and tinfoil to create your own reflectors... Having a dedicated spot for it like an old aquarium does help loads. I'm sure you can grab a really cheap foggy one on craigslist or something.

Thanks, glad you like them. And I like black edged bases often, too, but we do what the client asks. The static grass is GW brand and it does have some reds in it which look really good on the table top. Up close, you notice them more.

Those pictures of the Malanthropes don't do them justice, I'm assuming they're iNcontroL's Tryanids and if that's the case they look amazing in all the bat reps I've seen especially the Dima.
