You’ll have to forgive how far behind I am on my blogging! I haven’t updated since the shoots that I did in December. I’ll be spending the coming weeks getting caught up on the exciting new projects I’ve had so far in 2017. Here was a fun one I did for Crooked Pond. I shot about 15 pieces for their line sheet.
I did this photo shoot for Vaya Island, and love the way they came out. They had a very specific look they were going for as far as lighting/positioning of the pieces, and I think they turned out really nicely with the dramatic shadows and light/dark contrast on the metal.
I love these shots from the second photo shoot I did for Zina Sterling Silver. Everything was shot on a white background. I love that their jewelry is always so well polished, makes it easy to make it look good!

I love-love-love Carolyn Morris Bach‘s jewelry. Love.
Carolyn found me earlier this summer and sent over these pieces for our first photo shoot together. I love when jewelers are able to blur the line between jewelry and art, and Carolyn definitely is both a jeweler and an artist. She uses various materials and finishes to create these stunning pieces, and the result is really wonderful. Having previously stuck with black gradient backgrounds, she wanted to try white background images with me and we were both really happy with the results. The shapes, color contrast, and textures really pop nicely against a blank slate.
I recently had the chance to do another shoot for LeightWorks‘ hand cut crystal jewelry. This time, we stuck to a clean white background. Each image is actually a compilation of two photos; a necessity due to the “phenomenal” nature of the glass. I first take an image of the piece with a dark (gray or black) surface behind or around the glass, to make the color appear. Then I take an image of the piece on a white background, per usual, so that the reflections in the metal are of the white surroundings and not black. I then layer the images in Photoshop to show the best of each image.
