The first lesson features a three-hour-long webinar in which Alex Koloskov shows effective lighting setups for shooting rings, pendant and earrings. He demonstrates cost effective DIY solutions and shows how using inexpensive LED bulbs will enable you to light jewelry pieces simply and affordably.

In this lesson, Alex demonstrates an elegant and simple lighting setup for shooting jewelry on a completely white background. He shows you how to get consistently beautiful images of your jewelry pieces using a lighting setup that is ideal for e-commerce clients.

In this post-production lesson, retoucher Luciana Rilpol works on the diamond ring on white background. She starts out in Camera Raw before bringing it into Adobe Photoshop to perform all of the steps necessary to produce the final image, from cleaning up the metal and stones to smoothing the metal surfaces while retaining the important reflective properties of the metal. Luciana completes the retouch by applying color corrections, placing the extracted ring on a pure white background and adding a simple, multilayered shadow.

In this post-production lesson, Luciana demonstrates the first part of the retouch for the blue gemstone earrings woth diamonds.

Luciana completes the retouch of the blue gemstone earrings by duplicating the diamond setting of one earring for use with the second earring. She then extracts the pair to place them on a separate background and performs a series of color and “cleanup” adjustments to obtain the final image.
