Jewellery and watch photography guides
Fine jewellery, watches and bridal — the hardest small-object photography there is: reflection, sparkle, scale and true metal colour.
3 guides
Black background or white: choosing a backdrop for jewellery
Why white backgrounds flatten diamonds and dark ones bring out fire, how each affects gold and silver, and how to satisfy a white lead-image rule anyway.
Photographing hallmarks, engravings and certificates legibly
Raking light for shallow hallmarks, focusing on a curved inner shank, shooting certificates flat without glare, and why these images must never be enhanced.
Building a commission portfolio when every piece has already shipped
How bespoke jewellers can build a photo step into the bench process, shoot the progress frames enquiries respond to, and get client permission properly.
