My Photoshoot with Estate Diamond Jewelry
Tuvel Photography recently partnered with Estate Diamond Jewelry and created a photo-shoot of the beautiful ring from their collection.
The pictures were shot with the D7000. We used flags and speed lights to enable the diamonds to sparkle.
Estate Diamond Jewelry is located in Manhattan, New York on 5th Avenue and specialize in are the finest purveyors of vintage engagement rings in New York. They've been in business for over 30 years and have a lovely collection of the rarest and finest jewelry in the antique market. They also have a rare collection of three carat engagement rings that are really worth looking at.
The rings were shot on tiles, wood, sandpaper and cloth materials.
Tips for jewelry photographers:
- Clean the rings before you shoot them. Every fingerprint sticks to the diamonds and will show when you publish the photos.
- Use speed-lighting instead of continuous lighting.
- Keep the depth of field very low in order to avoid refraction, but not too low as to have too much blurriness.
- Focus stacking (expert tip).
- You can use LED lights to hyper-focus any sections of the jewelry where the diamonds are dark or angled away from the primary lights.
- Use wax to stick the jewelry into the position that you want.
- Use photo shop to edit the pictures. Take online courses if needed. All jewelry needs photo-shop to make it look the same as the jewelry actually looks in person. Just make sure that you don't over-edit the pictures.
- Buy a proper camera and proper lenses. Your phone camera is not good enough to take professional jewelry photography pictures.
