Jewelry Photography: Taking Photos of Silver
Photographing silver jewellery can be extremely difficult, but it can be done on a budget. Let me start out by saying that when I say “on a budget” I do mean about £700, you can spend far less but in my recent experience it will reduce the quality of your images. In the grand scheme of things £700 is still cheaper than outsourcing the work and if you are selling items it’s an investment you need to make. Let me start by explaining what I have tried to give you an idea of the experience I have had! Photographing silver jewellery close up is called macro photography (the photography of items up close), the D3100 has a guide mode that allows me to select macro mode and avoid all the jargon around shutter speeds, aperture settings and all the other technical things.
