What a whirlwind summer! We had a great time on our road trip and have been busy on the house since our return. I haven't had time (or a clean photo table) to get photos of my threads, embroidery, beadwork or beady souvenirs since I got home. BUT! Yesterday, I got the studio sink clean and the next 4 hours might see the dye/photo table reclaimed.
I've been thinking about jewelry photography because I have to re-do all of mine this fall. Plus I have lots of new beadwork to shoot.
It isn't easy stuff - the lighting is tricky, important shapes don't always fit into a little square frame right, it's hard to capture key beadwork details without losing sight of what the item actually IS, backgrounds compete with beaded texture. gah.
I went searching on ArtFire this morning to find examples of beaded jewelry that have been well photographed. The results are in this collection. The Holidays are coming! Buy Handmade!
