Project in development: Inexpensive way to shoot expensive jewelry
I am working on a series of tutorials (not sure how to name it yet :-), but the idea is to develop a very non-expensive DIY lighting and shooting technique to produce stunning results, so jewelry designers and hobbyists can build and use it.

thank you very much,your video is the best..
Slow, boring and doesn't show 'inexpensive way to shoot expensive jewellery'. Using a camera with focal plane movements, hmm, that sounds inexpensive. The quality of your video is rubbish too, maybe you need a few lessons yourself. Excuse the rant but am getting fed up with people posting totally useless tutorials.
Question : Why Not using your skills recording your own tutorials
"talking about better images"
this colors give me a sad boring mood
"Photo" in ancient Greek means LIGHT, "graphic" means PAINT, therefore PHOTOGRAPHY means, PAINTING WITH LIGHT, and this channel is fantastic at emphasising that, thank you for your great tips man ๐
Question: why not use light sources from both sides, instead of just one?
I really love your channel !ย

This is retarded. Everyone watched this because we want to see the inexpensive setup and you never posted it. Why post only one part? It's been a year. Get your shit together, chip.
so when to use those diffuse material like the dome around the jewelry? here you did not use it, and the result is good.
Little boring dude ๐
Holy shit this guy is boring as sin
Morning! Have you tested photo sfxart tricks (do a search on google)? My work buddy Alina made some great photos with their video tutorials.
Have you done Part Two yet?
have you done part 2 yet? I'm chomping at the bit. LOL. Loved part one.
Spasibo, slu4ajno napala na etot clip i okazalos kak-raz to 4to mne nuwno! Idu masterit domasnuju fotostudio ๐
great stuff! wish I could play for a day in your studio! ha, you've shaped the way I do my product photography too! I just made a video today showing my editing workflow.
Alex, thanks for the excellent video again, just one question, when we do focus stacking, you menitoned we should move camera to cover the focus range, not just change the focus point, why? thanks,
Nope, I am not closing the business. I am growing it to a next level:-) My business is education: e-books, masterclasses, etc.. To be successful I need to share more than anyone in this industry, and I love doing this.
Working for a clients is secondary, and I never afraid competition, as my pricing is way to high to be in it anyway:-)
excellent
I am interested in seeing part two. I don't think Alex is suggesting that jewelry photographers not higher professional photographers but rather that you don't need an enormous budget and expensive gear to get good results. Certainly a beginning jewelry artist may not have a budget to pay a professional but a DIY set of photos might result in clients and thus a budget to pay a pro.
bravo
As always, very informative. Alex, thanks for sharing your workflow. Does your wife have any videos on her Photoshop workflow for HDR work? I have you eBook and would like to see her demo that.
@ynphoto I'me sure that there are different types of clients … I design my jewelry and I make photos by myself … I wish I had funds to hire professional to do that part for me … I make my photos only outside on top of my car trunk ))))
I have my light box but it's never came up as good as I can make with the natural light ((
Can't wait to see the second part …
@ViewedVideo ) plenty tutorials on how to use camera on youtube..)) this is just makes my life as a photographer a lot easier …. – your show clients how to shoot, you give them camera, you show them how to use it ) send them bill, relax, play playstation, get paid. Paradise! ))) Well, this is all joke! Seriously speaking-No offense to Alex, he is great photographer, but I feel like with videos like this my photography job becomes useless (((
well done thanks
Damn, how many megapixels is that medium format thingy?
Great video:) love your work..waiting for next part ๐
@ynphoto Made me Laugh LOL
dont forget to show them how to use camera LOL
Alex, are you saying that jewelry designers and other potential clients should photograph their stuff themselves?
Next time clients asks me to photograph their jewelry, I am going to show your video and I am going to sell them my camera… (
