When it comes to product photography, few items can be as frustrating as jewelry. Reflective surfaces, tiny details, and amorphous shapes are just a few of the challenges confronting photographers brave enough to tackle this subject. Luckily, with the right tools and a little planning, many of the headaches associated with jewelry photography can be greatly reduced.
Choosing the Right Camera Setup
Most cameras fitted with normal-length to telephoto lenses can produce passable results photographing jewelry. However, if you want the best-quality images, you should invest in a macro lens. This will allow you to get closer to your subject and relay maximum detail. For tips on choosing a macro lens, check out Todd Vorenkamp’s article. If a new lens isn’t in your budget, close-up filters are a cost-efficient workaround that will allow you to reduce the minimum focusing distance of your existing lenses.
