I just finished a shot I was doing for a local jewelry company and the setup was so fun I thought I'd document it. I don't go into much detail here, but if anyone wants to ask a question about how I did such-and-such, I'm certainly open to communicating. Jewelry is particularly difficult to shoot amongst the many different types of products I photograph. The camera shows everything, so if it's going lo-rez on a website, we're fine. However, if it is for a full page advertisement or something where detailed closeups are going to be used, I always budget several hours for retouching and digital work. There is a lot more to this type of photography than meets the eye.
