Mistakes To Avoid When Shooting Jewelry

• Do you sell jewelry online? If you do, you are in
  a great company, some of the most prominent
  jewelry stores are online, and demand for these
  products is also high.
• But how particular are you about professional
  jewelry photography? Do you ensure that all your
  products are displayed in the best possible view
  to the customers?
• Selling jewelry online can be more challenging
  than other products because of its high price and
  highly picky customer base. Common product
  photography mistakes can prove to be more than
  just a hassle. They can force you to reshoot the
  entire line of products, which will cost you more
  money and time, but thats not as significant a
  loss as the loss of the trust of any potential
  buyers..

• Ensure that all products are clean
• Jewelry items are unlike other products and can
  easily get smudged by the fingers. This is why
  wearing cotton gloves or using a lint-free
  microfiber cloth when handling jewelry products
  is essential.
• If you are not careful, you can spend many hours
  postprocessing and editing images to remove
  fingerprints caused by the oil from the skin. If
  your jewelry items are not new, you should
  consider using a high-quality jewelry cleaner to
  remove any dirt buildup. Not only jewelry items,
  but you should also ensure that the camera lens
  and sensor are clean.
• We always use a microfiber lens cloth for
  cleaning our equipment and have arrangements for
  cleaning jewelry items at the studio.

• Not using the correct professional jewelry
  photography equipment
• The demand for jewelry photography differs
  significantly from other products because of
  their smaller size and highly intricate and
  delicate design. You will miss specific details
  if you do not use the right equipment for product
  photography in Atlanta.
• A dedicated macro lens for jewelry products is a
  must. The megapixel count on your camera doesnt
  matter if you do not use a macro lens for jewelry
  photography service. The lens is necessary to
  make the product appear closer and capture all
  the required details you want your customers to
  know.

Apart from a macro lens, appropriate lighting and
a tripod are mandatory to take the best shots of
jewelry products. We recommend a macro lens with
a focal length of 60mm if its your first time
using such a lens. This is the right focal length
because it can easily create half-life-size
magnification (0.5x). For our white background
jewelry photography, we use more expensive macro
lenses that produce life-size magnification
(described as 11).

Mistakes To Avoid When Shooting Jewelry
Incorrectly displayed products with distractive
backgrounds Whatever kind of jewelry you are
trying to capture, putting it against a white
background will always outsell any other
background combination. We are experts in white
background jewelry photography and understand how
easy it is to represent your product in the best
light by putting it against white
backgrounds. To avoid incorrectly displaying
products, ensure you put them at the right point
on the table, have enough studio lights to
illuminate them properly, and have the equipment
to hold them in place correctly. It is easy to
create a stand with some wood glue to 3 pieces of
white cardboard with the studio lights hanging
from the top. White backgrounds are essential
because they provide a distraction-free view of
the jewelry piece. For instance, when the
necklace is positioned flat on a white backdrop
and photographed from the top, the image
perfectly replicates the natural curve of the
necklace chain. This is just one of the
techniques that we use in professional jewelry
photography.

Mistakes To Avoid When Shooting Jewelry

• Not setting the camera correctly
• If the jewelry photography service you hired uses
  a camera with an auto setting, you will not get
  the best quality images. For jewelry products, it
  is not the ideal setting. You must use the camera
  in manual mode. This mode gives you complete
  control of your camera settings so you can take
  full advantage of Flash, white balance, ISO,
  aperture, and other features.
• While the actual camera setting that might work
  for you depends on several factors like the size
  of the product, level of design intricacy, and
  angles to be captured, there are some standard
  setting adjustments.

We recommend using the following settings in
the manual

• 1. Set the white balance to Flash
• 2. Set the aperture to either F11 or F16
• 3. Set the ISO to the lowest setting, which is
  usually ISO 100
• 4. Synch the shutter speed with the Flash
  (generally shutter speed of 1/180 for most
  cameras)
• With these manual mode camera settings, you can
  capture the jewelry items in their correct color
  and exposure. If you feel that the images have
  underexposure, you can increase the ISO value or
  increase the output on the studio lights.
• Conclusion
• We hope these professional jewelry photography
  tips will help you avoid common mistakes when
  shooting jewelry. For professional product
  photography Atlanta, you can rely on EtherArts
