Mastering the art of jewellery photography — Jewellers Academy

Visual interest and making your photograph eye catching helps to stop someone in their ‘scrolling tracks’. Lighting and crisp imagery is one of the most important elements, but paired with composition, whether that be on a model, held in your hand, or as a flat lay.

I use a combination of both self photography and outsourcing photography. When I need to show jewelry on a person, it is very helpful to have someone else do those photos. Otherwise, I enjoy taking images of my work in my studio and around my home.

Some of the images of my work were shared on other accounts when Instagram was more image based. Outsourcing my photographs for studio shots also presented me with the opportunity to have my images in various publications as well. I also use Pinterest to share my jewelry images too.
