$\"\"$ <\/a>I even own a light cube!
<\/span>I am so photo challenged, and more I try, the more confused I seem to get. I\u2019m currently trying to improve my jewelry photos, with not much success. Much of the information that I have gleaned has come from my jewelry related online groups, where they suggest a solid background in the black, grey, white scale, not using props. I did get some decent photos with a white background, but they just seem to be missing something, not really to my liking. So today I decided it was time for me to try using a black background, and found that I liked them much better than the white background. I fiddled with natural lighting, and artificial lighting. The natural lighting was more successful, but even though it\u2019s a cloudy day, the sun moving in and out of the clouds, proved to present problems. <\/span> <\/p>\n

It has been recommended by other artisans not to use props, but out can the props away, why not try to take a chance and see if I could take a photo that I actually liked. Much easier to photography earrings if your using props, and yes, I liked the photos using the props.<\/span>
$\"\"$ <\/a>
Now I need to decide to watermark the photos or not to watermark the photos. In some ways a watermarked photo looks more professional, but the question is, does the watermark distract the viewers eye, as they view the jewelry.<\/p>\n

<\/span>I did come to a conclusion; I personally think my photos listed in my Etsy Store<\/a> look better when I\u2019ve used props. Yes, I like the black background, and props. Still need a lot of practice, as practice makes perfect. Now if I could make a decision on watermarks. Check by my blog or Etsy Store<\/a>, and see how my photography improves\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
