What is the best way to photograph Jewellery?
Jewellery photography is fun and simple. There is no trickery required, just practice and patience. If you are looking for inspiration, here are a few of our favourite jewellery photography ideas.
1. Be creative
Jewellery photography doesn’t need to be traditional or formal. Your images can be colourful, quirky, bold, funny, artistic, romantic, or whatever else takes your fancy. Think about your photo ideas and what you want to say in your images.
2. Play around
Make sure you have the right lighting for your jewellery. Look at some jewellery photos you like, then think about how you could recreate the lighting.
3. Practice
Take time to practise jewellery photos. Get familiar with your camera settings, practise different types of lighting, play around with different colours and shapes, and practice using different accessories.
4. Keep it simple
There is nothing wrong with having simple jewellery photos. All you need is a simple necklace, a shot with just a few colours, or a shot where the jewellery is shown off in a natural light. Just be sure to get close up images where the jewellery can really stand out.
5. Mix it up
It’s great to have a consistent look in your jewellery photographs. But don’t feel you need to stick to the same outfit each time, mix it up a little. Try mixing a variety of jewellery photos, including shots with a variety of clothes.
6. Experiment
Have a go at photographing jewellery outside of the house. For example, try taking some shots of jewellery on the beach or at the park. See if you can find new ways to show off your jewellery.
7. Play with angles
Try photographing your jewellery with unusual angles. For example, you could stand on a chair and shoot down on to your jewellery. Or you could use a mirror to reflect your jewellery in a different direction.
8. Experiment with shape
You can show off the shape of your jewellery by shooting it with a round or oval lens. Or you could use a wide angle to create a landscape shot.
9. Have fun
Be creative and have some fun with your jewellery photography. This is a hobby for you, so enjoy yourself and have fun.
10. Share your work
Sharing your work with others is a great way to get feedback on your work. Plus you may inspire other people to create their own jewellery photography.
Other tips
• Pick a spot that has interesting background features. The most effective background is one with a lot of colour contrast – bright colours work especially well.
• Have some props around. A lamp or some candles can add light and help you focus on the jewellery. A small mirror is useful too – it will allow you to check your makeup and adjust your hair before taking the shot.
• Use your camera to shoot in aperture priority (A) mode. This will allow you to control the depth of field, making it easier to blur the background and keep the jewellery sharp.
• Adjust your settings to allow plenty of room between your subject and background. If there are too many objects in the frame, your image will look busy. If the scene is too close, the jewellery will be too small.
• Choose the camera setting you like best – this will depend on your type of jewellery, and your preferred style. Some people prefer a shallow depth of field to make the jewellery stand out against a blurred background, while others prefer to have a sharper, more detailed image of the whole frame. Experiment with different settings to see what works best for you.
If you’re using a smartphone, apps like Filmic Pro will allow you to experiment with different camera settings to get the best possible picture.
• Keep your jewellery in its original packaging until you’re ready to photograph it. You’ll be able to see if you need to clean it up before your shoot.
• Find a jeweller who can help with your jewellery, as this can make a huge difference to the way it looks in a photograph. They can suggest ways of displaying it that will work for your image, and make suggestions about which settings to use.
• Once you’re happy with the results, remember to share them! If you upload a picture to Facebook or Instagram, make sure to tag it with #nofilter. This will help other people who search for pictures online find your picture and get in touch with you.
How to choose a perfect ring
The most important factors when choosing a ring are its size, design, and colour. There are lots of factors to consider when choosing a ring. These include its size, style, the quality and material of the ring. A diamond ring that fits your finger perfectly, is in a good-looking shape and has a nice cut, is a true statement of your personality. You should always choose a ring that looks good on your finger.
Size matters
While the shape of your finger may determine the size of your ring, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to buy a specific ring size. Your finger tends to swell with the heat of the day, especially when you sweat. So if your ring does not fit properly, this may be a sign of poor quality.
When buying a diamond ring, try to select one that fits your finger perfectly. You want your ring to fit snugly without slipping or pulling away. To ensure you buy the right size, you should measure the length of your finger and compare it with the available sizes. The easiest way to do this is to buy a piece of string at the local hardware store.
Style matters
When choosing a ring, you should consider its style and shape. The ideal shape is circular, because it allows the full view of the ring to be seen from all sides. An oval ring is also a popular choice, but if you prefer a circular ring, you should consider the size, since there will be less of a chance of the ring slipping.
Design matters
What makes a diamond ring attractive is the cut, or how the diamonds are shaped. Diamonds can come in many different styles, such as emerald, pear, oval, marquise, etc. You should also consider the number of diamonds in the setting. A high-end ring will usually have a large number of diamonds, while a cheap ring will have fewer.
Quality matters
The price of a diamond ring does not always match its quality. Cheap diamond rings are not as attractive as expensive rings. A diamond ring made of real gold may cost more than a gold-plated version. Real gold is more durable, so a ring made of real gold will last longer. It’s also worth considering the size of the diamonds. A smaller diamond will last longer, and a larger diamond will look more impressive.
Colour matters
Colour is another factor to consider when choosing a diamond ring. Natural diamonds are usually clear, but you can choose to have your diamond ring coloured. Coloured diamonds will add colour and dimension to the ring, making it more attractive.
