Photographing jewellery

- create sharp, correctly exposed, colour-correct images of jewellery using a digital camera
- photograph your jewellery against white, black, coloured and textured backgrounds
- use a macro lens or macro facility to photograph small items
- control the contrast of your images
- prepare images for web and print (resizing and sharpening) using relatively simple software techniques.

Please bring your own jewellery to photograph in each class. We can provide digital SLRs, some macro lenses, tripods and lighting in the studio but if you have a camera with manual settings please bring this to the class. You may also wish to bring your own small backgrounds.
