You can be sure about having less demand, if your photos of jewelry don’t look as inviting as they should be. However it isn’t a matter of concern if you are careful about not making these mistakes.
- Remove price tags or stickers before shooting the piece.
- Check for missing stones, marks and other defects before you begin to take pictures. It will save you a lot of time and money.
- Clean the piece properly before you take photos, because even a single speck of dust would show up on your screen with a high resolution camera.
- The main problem with jewelry is the fact that they are reflective. Ensure that your reflection or the reflection of the camera does not get into the picture by chance!
- Props or mannequins can only be disturbing, if not helpful. Avoid them as far as possible.
- Lighting arrangements should ensure that no part of the piece is underexposed, or it ends up looking dull and unattractive.
- Don’t use pictures of different sizes. Maintain consistency to avoid confusion.
- Finally, don’t over-do it in the retouching department. Make the piece look natural.
