This course is for jewelry photographers, and it is about light painting technique that you can use in your jewelry photography work.
After taking this course photographer will know how to create stunning artistic jewelry images with a single light.
Unlike with most jewelry and product photography, there are no light modifiers that will be needed: we did not use softboxes, diffusers or reflectors for this course. Only a camera with a macro lens, LED light and a few other DIY things were used to create the images for this course.
Low-Cost Lighting Setup:
Setup: No special lighting gear is required, you can do light painting with any flashlight or LED fixture (more about this during the course gear lesson)
Unique Look For Gemstones:
With a special technique shown in this jewelry photography course photographer will be able to create a very detailed image of large gemstones, with a unique look of internal and external facets, and create the best look for a jewelry piece.
Easy Background Color Switching:
Ability to switch between white/black and any other background without changing the composition or re-mounting the jewelry piece.
With light painting, a photographer is not limited by the shape/size of light modifiers which allows creating a true artistic photos for the most beautiful jewelry pieces.
Since Focus Stacking is not possible, the photographer is limited by the maximum DOF (depth of field) of the lens. Therefore, a good macro lens is more preferable. More about this on the course’s gear lesson.
