I was having such a problem the background color. Anything I was using to
lay the jewelry on did not work, the color always changed once I downloaded
the photo , but when you put the items on that “dated” stand, I said YES!!
I have plenty of those – put it on the stand and it solved my coloration
problems. Thank you for taking your time and posted the video. Evie
@mystudiobyprocyc Great answer. Thanks! I agree with you. Flash can often
be too much. What shutter speed and aperture do you normally use together
with the light tent? Perhaps I can use my external flash, or some lamp,
from the top to light up the tent instead of the jewelry piece? 🙂
It is an older Canon Powershot SX100 IS. It is not made anymore. The camera
was used to show that you can get good photos even with a consumer level
camera, however I would recommend that you purchase at least an entry level
DSLR camera for product or jewelry photography. You will have much more
control over your photography and better final quality.
Do you ever use the flash for jewelry photography? Does the “tent” and
other lights make the flash unnecessary?
@Fantamonkey – the answer is the best camera and lens that I have
available. To get the best photos I would recommend at least using a DSLR
camera (one with interchangeable lenses). Canon and Nikon both make good
entry level DSLR’s with decent kit lenses (you would want to use the max
zoom on the kit lens). Even better would be to use a Macro lens as
MDCCCLXXIV suggested.
hi i am jaffer from INDIA i like the tutorial wich camera model u have
youse taken those images canon model
i loved this video so much
Great video, thank you!
Hi Cheryl, yes you can purchase the “MyStudio MS20J” kit from Amazon, B&H
Photo, or Adorama Camera.
@1OliviaJay – I would use the 50mm. The lens most likely has a larger
aperture than the 18-55 so you can get shallower depth of field and faster
shutter speeds, and the longer lens you have the more you will compress the
background.
What camera do you use when shooting jewelry please?
thnx for the great upload, i am the owner of two jewelley shop,and i just
bought canon 1100D 18-55, 55-250 for jewellery purpose. and planning to buy
macro lens also, i was told that i need a external flash around $273, but i
guess after seeing this video has saved my money and will build light tent
like this since its not available in India i guess. it really helped, and
will share my experiance once will have hands on all equips.
I am looking for such a kind of a photo table. Where can i buy this
MyStudio MS20J table top.Would appreciate if you can Kindly guide me about
the whole set up pls. Thank you.
Hi Guna, you can purchase the “MyStudio MS20J” kit from Amazon, B&H Photo,
or Adorama Camera. You can also purchase it from our website. The link is
above in the Info section of the video.
@rakettfua – It really depends on the shape of the piece of jewelry and the
look I am going for. If it is rather flat, say a bracelet lying flat or
just the face of a watch, I will start around F/4 or so, and about 1/20 or
1/30 shutter speed and then adjust from there (obviously use a tripod with
slow shutter speeds like that). If it is an intricate ring or something
where I need a lot of depth I will usually go F11. Shutter speed will
depend on your lighting source if you’re using your own.
@rakettfua – I avoid using flash when photographing jewelry. Jewelry is
generally highly reflective and flash often creates blown out (overexposed)
areas or “hot spots” which create a harsh overall look to the jewelry and
take away detail. Soft, even light is preferred which is why I’m using the
MyStudio MS20 photo studio. So yes, I definitely recommend using the
MyStudio MS20 or similar light box or tent to create wrap around lighting.
SO NISE I LIKE THIS
thank you very mach for tippss !!!
I agree with you. I’m sure it’s much easier to photograph jewelry (or other
small objects) using a stand or prop, rather than trying to photograph them
directly from above. You would need a whole new setup.
heya love the vid which lens should I use i have a 18-55mm and a 50mm
thanxxx
Truly enjoyed your video and tips. Is there a kit I can purchase such as
yours? Thank you! Cheryl
I would probably use a 90 or 100mm macro lens. Can have more distance
between the object and less distorsion
@Muilkorfje – Thanks for the comment. You are right in the sense that most
jewelry photos do not actually show the items on a display stand. However,
the purpose of most of the props in the jewelry kit are to enable you to
hang or position your jewelry in a natural manner so they are easier to
photograph in close, usually without the actual prop showing. The majority
of the final photos in the video also only show the piece of jewelry rather
than the whole stand. The props just help.
I loved the tutorial!!
Canon 600D with 60MM micro lens is it ideal camera for Jewelry Photography
with ur MyStudio MS20j kit?
