Shooting with Jewelry E-Commerce Photographer Kate Benson
When I was a child, I would pour myself over jewelry catalogs in complete fascination. I loved seeing each piece and how they looked in the images. It has been a long journey, but after almost 20 years as a professional photographer, I’ve become the jewelry e-commerce photographer I am today.
Jewelry is an extremely challenging and interesting product to shoot. It seems like the smaller the product, the larger the set and production needs to be to get that perfect photograph. And even the nature of shooting jewelry alone can be difficult, too. I’ve done shoots with armed security guards watching, and locked in vaults with multiple security checks before even entering. I’ve shot in the personal homes of jewelers, and almost everywhere else you can think of. I also find the lighting to make diamonds and other cut stones sparkle, can be the exact opposite of what the smoother metals need. But I absolutely love all of it. I refuse to compromise my standards as a jewelry e-commerce photographer, and I want to make every piece I handle to look absolutely stunning.
Jewelry e-commerce photography is one of my specialties because in addition to taking perfect pictures of jewelry, I bring my 20 years of expereince in e-commerce photography. After thousands of shoots, I’ve learned why companies choose the angles they do for each piece of jewelry. I bring the direction and choices creative experts at national and international level companies to your project.
Being a successful jewelry e-commerce photographer is more than taking a picture, it’s consulting and guiding companies starting or changing a jewelry website through decisions that create the highest number of sales and fewest returns possible.
Below are some examples of complete website jewelry photography I’ve done. With these, everything from the on model shots in to the still life were photographed in my studio.
