A picture speaks a thousand words, let that be the case for your beautiful jewellery too.
Did you know that amazing looking photos can make a huge difference in what the perceived value is of the jewellery you are photographing?
Let's imagine 2 pictures of the same item of jewellery, one is rushed, blurry and has poor lighting and the other one is of a high standard and is professional. One will happily sell for much more simply because of the higher perceived value. What’s the difference between the two pieces? Nothing, except one has been photographed properly. It was lit and composed beautifully, had interesting backgrounds and overall, had the look that you might see in the photographs displayed at high-end jewellers and department stores. As the result, this gives off a much higher perceived value and your customers are willing to pay more for these items.
This beautiful blue gemstone necklace photography class is the first in a series of jewellery photo shoots.
This class provides a detailed explanation of the entire process, from selecting and creating backgrounds to testing lights and adding interesting props. Karl also explains a few common mistakes when it comes to jewellery photography and how you can overcome these.
Using just three lights, he combines a graduated ambient light with a few extra light sources to make the gems sparkle. He then experiments by adding small black stones for a more interesting final shot.
