Taking pictures of jewelry

Let me tell you that taking pictures of jewelry is a whole other art form…one I have not yet conquered. I want you to see my jewelry like I see it and so far have not been overly happy with my pictures. I am a perfectionist, but not as bad as I used to be, thankfully. I’d hate to think I have to invest in one of those expensive cameras and then learn how to use it. BUT, if I’m going to try and sell jewelry online, the pictures have to do it justice. I’ve done a little research and found out I need to make, or buy, some type of light box to set the jewelry inside for the pictures. I’m supposed to use a tripod, haven’t done it yet, and I actually do own one. I better go dig it out of the closet (after I figure out which closet it’s in). So, in the meantime, I am still going to take pictures with my little Olympus Stylus SZ-15 or my Samsung Galaxy S4 and do the best I can.

Peace and love, Phyllis
