Jewellery Photography Process
Jewellery Preparation
In order to create seamless jewellery photography there are certain item preparation required. We need to ensure that there are no fingerprints, dust or marks on the jewellery item. In some instances, marks, dust and product imperfections that cannot be clearly visible by a human eye are well reflected in the image. It is imperative to ensure your jewellery item is clean and ready for the shoot. Prior to the photo shooting, the stone needs to be cleaned and polished with the cloth. The product imperfection can be easily picked up by the camera; therefore, jewellery item needs to be well prepared prior to photographing.
Lighting
The light reflection is a very critical aspect of the jewellery product photography as improper light settings may not only create a shadowing but also make the gemstone looks dull and faded. For example, when photographing opals, we need to select additional flashing option to bring out the gorgeous colour play. The goal when photographing jewellery is to create soft even light with minimal shadow. With soft and even lighting gemstone will sparkle in its natural colours and any jewellery will shine in its best look.
Popular Angles
When selecting the right angle to photograph jewellery, we need to consider a sell-able point of the item. Do we take a front shot only or side view? When the right angle is selected it allows us to feature jewellery product in its best composition and lighting. Most popular jewellery product photography angle is a side view as it’s portrays a whole jewellery item. However, there are instances when customer has precise style that they wish to maintain throughout the whole website or jewellery collection. With this in mind, we need to maintain the image shooting angles as specified by the requirements.

Focus
To get a crispy clear image of the precious stone is an import step in jewellery product photography process. When photographing a jewellery product the focus needs to be sharp to showcase the colour depth of the gemstone. Camera needs to capture all the important elements of the jewellery. One of the first thing to do is to concentrate on camera’s maximum depth of field. This will allow us to focus on the entire item, so that all jewellery elements are captured. Unfortunately, we cannot simply use the auto focus technique here, as the camera focuses on the closest elements of the jewellery, meaning the rest of the item will be blurry. Furthermore, sometimes even with the right balance of light and settings we might need to perform extra image manipulations and cropping.
Shadow and Reflection
Jewellery product photography is a delicate and sensible work of art. When it comes to creating a soft natural reflection, certain things need to be considered. Reflection is one of them. Precious stones, gemstones, metal and fine elements that are used in making a piece of jewellery are highly reflective. When improper equipment, incorrect camera settings and lighting are used in photographing jewellery, the photographs appear with many shadows, reflections, and spots.
In many cases, jewellery product photography is like photographing a mirror when you can see lights, studio surroundings, camera, and yourself. Furthermore, use of bright flash during the photo session may only overexpose the item. In reverse, insufficient lighting may under illuminate the jewellery product and the image will be dark and have uneven lighting.
When photographing jewellery, you may wish to add a creative shadow to your item in order to showcase a 3D look. That’s when we add different shadows and reflections when photographing to produce uniquely creative image.
