Shooting Jewelry in a Tent / Diamond ring

Shooting fine jewelry can present a big challenge to those without photographic experience and, for that matter, to a seasoned pro as well. Anyone trying to sell their own jewelry on the Internet, either on-line auctions, business websites, knows all-too-well the challenges of making it look competitive.

Because most pieces of fine jewelry are highly reflective, lighting these items can be a real headache. Making the metal look good and getting just the right sparkle in the stones often times seems impossible.

But with a little know-how and the help of the proper lighting tools, this task can be a snap. This lesson demonstrates how to light and photograph your jewelry for professional results simply and easily.
