Create beautiful small product & jewelry photographs regardless of the type of camera you are using. Students will also be able to create these images using a multitude of different lighting styles such as window light, electronic flash, LED and fluorescent lighting. Lighting does not have to be complicated nor do you need to use expensive state of the art equipment, unless you want to. This course has been designed for all levels and teaches many ways how a student can create beautiful images and make the best with the equipment they have available. Advanced students can also learn to create outstanding images using their DSLRs along with the proper lighting. An interesting use of backgrounds and material is also revealed.

要求

Students taking this course will have an advantage if they understand some of the basics of photography such as f-stops, exposure, focus, lighting, as these are some of the things discussed in this course. Students will also need some type of camera to capture their small product or jewelry images. However, these cameras can include using an iPod, iPhone, iPad, smartphone, point & shoot, mirrorless or DSLR camera. Whatever camera you use, it will be helpful if your camera or lens has macro capability. It will be helpful if students have some understanding of an image editing software program that will also be needed if they wish to do some final cropping on their images. An understanding of Adobe Photoshop will also be helpful if they wish to perform some of the more advanced editing that is discussed in this course.

LATEST: Course Update - April 2019



Do you know that great looking photos can dramatically make a difference in what the perceived value is of the item you are photographing? Yes, it’s true. Several years ago I started helping my wife build her eBay business while creating the photos of jewelry and small products that she was selling. Over and over again I saw her sell her items on eBay for many times more than what she paid for them. Her items sometimes would sell for 35 or 50 times more than what she paid. Sometimes even more than that.



What’s the difference between the items? Nothing, except the photos that she showed were beautiful. They were lit and composed beautifully, had interesting backgrounds and overall, had the look that you might see in the photographs displayed at high end jewelers and department stores. As the result, this gave them a much higher perceived value and her customers were willing to pay more for these items.



You are probably wondering, what’s the big deal? What makes these photos look so great? Can anyone learn to take photos like these? Yes, I absolutely believe anyone can? Here’s why:



I have been a professional photographer for many years. Our studio specialized in portrait & wedding photography and we were quite busy. When she asked me to help her take her photos of jewelry and small products she started selling, I started doing so in a simple, easy and quick way since I didn’t have too much time to spend on her photos, I was quite busy taking my own photos and running the studio.



What started as a simple and quick photo session of her items, has evolved through the years. I was able to fine tune the lighting, the set-up and overall way we photographed her items. Our method has remained simple, quick, easy to learn, and consistent. We step into our small studio room we have designated for taking these photos, turn on the lights, and begin the photography.



If you would like to learn how you can take photos of the small products or jewelry you are selling, consider enrolling in this course. Instead of photographing your items on a carpet or bed spread with bad lighting. Say NO to bad photos and start making more money. Whether you are selling your own products on your own website or small products on eBay, I truly believe this course can help you.
