Professional Jewelry Photographers can break the bank! Learn to do it yourself.

If you are interested in photography in general with practice you can take beautiful pictures of your jewelry or any other precious item. I have tried various lights (artificial and natural), different backgrounds, different positions, distant or close up pictures( with or without the macro lens)… After taking literally hundreds of pictures I found the perfect angles for my jewelry. Although I have bought a Studio-in-a-box I figured that the best pictures I took were under the natural sun light. I like holding the camera and trying different creative angles rather than using a tripod and the box. The pictures I took using the tripod and the box turned out to be very commercial looking, artificial studio pictures. I wanted more creative and exciting pictures that reflected the true nature of my pieces. So sunlight, jewelry on the floor on natural brown paper and jewelry with blue sky used as background turned out to be really nice ( that actually was my husband’s idea). To test my pictures I have sent a mass email out and told my friends that I hired a very expensive photographer to take pictures of my jewelry and asked their honest opinions.Everyone believed me, they said the pictures are beautiful and it is worth every penny I paid!!! The thing is I did not pay a penny.. except of course for the camera and the lens. I use Canon Digital Rebel XT. None of my friends suggested that the pictures looked amateurish. And guess who the model is in the pictures? ( The older pictures are on http://www.nerselirene.com/. )
