Jewelry shooting skills

In commercial photography, it is also quite difficult to photograph jewelry, mainly because of its material characteristics. From the perspective of material selection, it can be divided into: diamond, emerald, gem, crystal, platinum, gold, pearl, agate, k-gold, pure silver and simulation. Originally, photography has its own unique views on the shooting of jewelry. Different jewelry materials have different lighting methods when shooting. First of all, if you want to take good product photos, you must build a studio. For products such as jewelry, it is enough to build a small studio, which can be several exhibitions of soft boxes and standard photos.

Selection of equipment

The most necessary condition is also the most important condition. The choice of camera lens is also very important to take good product photos. For products such as jewelry, ordinary card machines are not enough. At least you should buy an entry-level SLR, the price is above 3000, and you can buy a macro lens. Why buy a macro head? Because the product needs to take some detailed photos, it is difficult to take satisfactory photos because the focal length of ordinary lens is too far, which requires a macro head, and the imaging effect of the macro head is very good.

How to shoot well when the equipment is selected?

In the light distribution, it is a very important link in the preliminary work. Jewelry is characterized by high reflection, which can reflect all the irradiated light back.

This time, I will focus on the lighting method of diamond jewelry. The characteristics of diamonds are formed after processing. These sections will reflect countless lights under the irradiation of light, which makes the diamond shine. If you want to shoot this effect, choose the lighting mode of the lighting exhibition. According to the brightness of different faces, highlight different corners, so that each edge can produce clear light. If you want to completely eliminate the reflection on jewelry, you can build a small seamless paper studio yourself. This small studio should be completely closed. Open a hole in the front, put the lens in and shoot, and put the lamp outside to shine on the small tent, so that the light will be more uniform and the side and front of the diamond can shoot shiny effects.
