How do I hire a jewelry photographer?

 The process of photographing jewellery is quite different from taking photos of other objects because you must face reflections and scratches on metal the glare of gemstones, etc. Here is a list of questions to ask yourself before you begin working with the hiring of a photographer. Check out Our portfolio as well as pricing here.

Q1 How many jewellery item images have he/she shot to sell to clients?

It is difficult to shoot jewellery and requires specific props and light modifiers in order to get it right. Many of the product photographers online only have a few examples of jewellery in their portfolio, so make sure you inquire about the amount of jewellery they've shot. You're searching for someone who's taken hundreds or even thousands of jewellery pictures.

Q2: What amount of editing are included within their cost?

If you're looking for white backgrounds, ensure that it's part of the cost. Certain photographers will provide you with an unnatural light grey background and will not be cleaning in Photoshop.

Because jewellery photos are larger than actual size, especially for rings and studs as well as similar smaller pieces it’s normal to see each tiny scratch in the image. This means that some form of editing is necessary. Make sure that this is in the package.

Q3: What sizes of images are included? And what are the formats included?

For use on the web for web use, jpg files with a resolution of 1000-1500px are usually sufficient. The size for printing is determined by the size at which it will be printed. If you are printing on A4 size paper, then you require an image that is larger than a web-sized. Printing is measured in dot per inch (DPI). Ideally, you will require 300 DPI to print. A 1500px by 1500px image can print on a paper of 5x5 inches clear (1500/300=5).

Certain photographers will offer photographers will provide a TIFF file. TIFF is the most preferred file format used for prints with large sizes such as full-page colour magazines. Printing catalogues in sizes of 3-4 inches it is recommended to use jpg.

Q4 How many rounds of revisions are in the plan?

Common issues that clients contact me about are colours. The colours can vary depending on the settings on your monitor, and at times, it may require some adjustments in Photoshop. Are small changes like this included in the cost?

Question 5: Does the company provide assurance?

If you're still unhappy with the image you have received after the alteration has been made, will you still have to pay for the change?

These are the issues I consider to be important and I am honest with my clients before commencing their project so that we know what will be the end result of the project. For DIY ideas and gear recommendations
