[@shutterbug2692]

Using a cup to fix the chain is pure genius! Thank you for this video.

[@maxkiyuna3239]

This was one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Super simple and easy to understand! Great job!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

that's so wonderful!! Thank you so much for watching and kind comment!

[@PabloCimadevila]

I love all but the glass tip was amazing!! Thank you ;)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thanks Pablo! Really appreciate that ❤️ Yes! It's such an obvious trick, yet it has taken me ages to get that idea 😊

[@adriananava5378]

excellent advice to improve the photographs of my products, it has worked very well for me, and you are very right, the image is very important, thanks friend

[@bloochoob]

For someone who says ‘I’m not a photographer’ you’re doing it very well, and know just how to light and style your products. Great work 📷🤩

[@mistywaters4881]

your photographs are beautiful! great tip about the round object. thanks.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

That's wonderful, thank you! 🥰

[@clemographyc5820]

Hello there! I was watching videos today in youtube for almost a couple of hours on jewelry photography and most of them were talking about so many tech. things and lights, which was good. But yours is the only video that gave ideas on creative styling and easy usage of placements and I can see that you are good at it. Keep doing videos on styling... Cheers!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Hi! I'm super happy you've enjoyed my video ❤️ I totally agree, since I'm not a professional photographer, I won't be able to say anything about technical aspects, but I'm happy to share some creative ideas and styling set ups 😀 I have another video coming in the near future, so check back soon!

[@خبيرترميمتحفوحرفيدويةمتنوعة]

أفكارك رائعة ومثيرة للأهتمام انا اتابع قناتك الرائعة دائما فيها الإفادة والتجديد بالأفكار والفنون شكرا لك سلمت يداك

[@r1tl]

Thanks for this helpful video 🩷.

[@YarivGai_Jewelry]

Thank you for sharing. I recommend to ask few clients which photo they like the most. Then share the one they choosed with the rest.

[@rhiannonwhitehead6728]

this was exactly what i was looking for 💛

[@perladoro]

The glass hack is super brilliant, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@PatrickPoet]

Thank you. This was quite nice. Just the curved object to shape the chain tip made it valuable to watch.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thanks Patrick! :) Yeah, it's so simple and obvious yet it's taken me some time to come up with! Now I'm always using a glass to shape my chains :))

[@blakegirouxphotography]

This video needs to blow up more that tip with the glass is amazing and you do great flat lays

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

wow, thanks so much! That's very kind, I'm glad you enjoyed watching it :) It's my favourite trick with that glass haha

[@love2loveu636]

Simple, organic and elegant. Great job! I’ve learned a lot and can’t wait to try some of your ideas. Be blessed!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

happy to hear that! Thank you for watching :)

[@ccbl23]

You just saved me so much time and frustration with the glass trick ❤️ thank you!!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

You are so welcome! It's such an easy trick, yet works like a charm 😊❤ Thank you for watching!

[@lizlloyd4818]

Thanks for such a brilliant video, packed full of so many great tips. It's so good to learn how other jewellers create photos of their work and thank you for sharing how you do this! :)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thanks so much for watching Liz! :) It's definitely not a professional shoot, but works very well and costs nothing haha :))

[@amariah922]

Thank you ! Your video made me smile, everything was beautiful and calming. I was hopeless bc I had no idea how to photograph my jewellery, now I'm inspired

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Glad you've found it helpful! ❤️ I have one more video about jewellery photography, more recent one, I hope it will be helpful too! Xx

[@fashionablyadorned2737]

great tips Basia.. OMG the glass for chain.. genius!!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so much! Hahaha, it's good, isn't it! xx

[@butterkeksgangster6685]

Glad someone is making this kind of content on yt!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

so happy you've found my video, glad you liked it :)

[@prstudios8109]

And you say your not a photographer! these are simple, and have cleared my mind into considering simple setups

[@angeld6811]

Wauw,very nice. Just what I was looking for!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Glad I could help! Thank you for watching :)) ❤️

[@carbonsu]

That was a great tutorial. I've been looking for different ways to take pro-looking photos of my finished jewellery :)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

that's wonderful! Happy you've enjoyed it!

[@madnessintomagic]

This makes it look so easy, yet I can’t seem to get consistently good photos. I’m only pic’ing inexpensive wood and polymer clay jewelry, so it’s not just a few pieces of expensive pieces, it’s a LOT of things same colors but different shapes. So I’m usually irritable and fed up before I even get started. It shouldn’t be so hard. I’ve used iPhone AND a borrowed Canon - the iPhone looks best with portrait mode, but the Canon NEVER focuses on my earrings, ALWAYS on the background. I cannot figure out how to change it. So frustrating. I have always hated cameras and having my own picture taken, and now having to do all this product photography on my own is really upsetting me. I’ve bought lights, light boxes. No matter what I do they come out dull or blurry UNLESS I stand outside in the sweltering heat in bright midday sun, and find that ONE setup that works and just slog through them all. I hate it. So frustrating. Your tutorial makes it look easy, but honestly I don’t want to have to do it at all. Hahaha

[@voiceofjava]

Have you use single focus point? And If you try to manually focus it, and the result is not on the point where you want it to be focus, then I believe theres something wrong with the focusing system.

[@dij6440]

This is a perfect tutorial and I love the ideas! Thank you!

[@valentinacambruzzi338]

Thank you so much for sharing! I love how you use small stones to give your pictures interesting backgrounds, definitely got to try! :)

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

You have to try it! :) Same with flowers, petals, leaves, anything actually :) Get creative, use bigger chunks of salt or whole pepper. Anything can add texture :) Thanks so much for wathcing! :)

[@korneliajewelry]

Great tips! Natural light is the most important, so many people forget that. Loved the how simple you explain jewelry-photography, well done.

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you so Much Karolien! 😊 I've experimented with photo tent but I just couldn't figure it out! I've got lamps too but it all seems like so much hassle and the effect was never what I wanted. I much prefer to just place my items by the window and shoot there :P For me, learning manual mode of my camera was a game changer too, and realising that I can brighten photos in post production. I used to seriously overexpose them because I wanted them to be bright and vivid haha :P

[@MariamSabaArt]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was eye-opening and inspiring.

[@xkaurphotography4275]

Hi... Your videos are the best.....this video gave me so many ideas for jewellery photography....i really loved it

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

[@williammedford5891]

Wow, I hope some of your elegance rubs off on me. Beautiful video!

This video literally just blew my mind! So simple, yet... so effective. Thank you!!!

[@businesswithmariah]

Always so helpful and insightful. I know I don't know you but I appreciate you so much! Because of your videos, I finally got over my fear of soldering and went ahead got materials you suggested. I made my first pendant. 😊💜😊💜

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

awesome! You're very welcome! :) Stay tuned, as I will be posting an updated video soon with more hacks! :) ❤️

[@mkivy]

I own left over video cameras and audio...so I use the Nikon which does it all. I do own Sony tape camera 🎥 and 2 other antiquated cameras so I use all the lighting and mics I already have...ur photographs are beautiful...u r so talented.

[@thecrystalwitchASMR]

Thank you so much for this video! I'm always at a loss of how to take photos of my jewelry and this was so inspiring.

[@Stromboli15]

A little bit of super thin material like silk in front of the table i.e. 2x2 piece will help soften the highlights and take the windows out of the reflecting highlite. Loved your ideas about the natural lighting setup I'm totally going to use this technique! Love your channel!! ☺️

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Great tip! Thank you so much 😉 And thanks so much for watching ❤️

[@Stromboli15]

@@TheArtOfMetalsmithing I've been loving your videos and sharing in your journey. I particularly liked the video for creatives and how sometimes it can be easy to self sabotage just over wether or not one feels truly vindicated by occupational titles. I feel you had a lot of good insights and truth to add on that subject. So many thanks for your kind words! 🤓

[@Stromboli15]

I meant to say in front of the window between the side of the table. Not the front, side facing the camera. Obviously shooting through silk is not going to give you a nice image. My bad. Hahahaha 🤓👍

[@antsone1155]

You are truly amazing. Well done & thank you!

[@BLINGofBOSTON]

Gorgeous photos

[@evib7244]

Hi Basia, many thanks for all the practical tips on jewellery photography! I've been looking for ways to photograph and film handmade jewellery because I want to improve the quality of my KZbin tutorials. You've demonstrated that anyone can achieve a professional and artistic look simply by using natural light, a few simple props and pretty background paper. Thanks once again and keep those photography tips coming! Iza Beads

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Thank you Iza! So happy you've enjoyed the video and found it helpful :)) Good luck with your channel and handmade business xx

Hi! I was wondering if you have any videos on what tools you use to take videos of your work? Lighting, stands, cameras, etc? Your work is amazing and your videos are wonderful and something i'd love to learn more about!

[@TheArtOfMetalsmithing]

Not at the moment, but it's a video I was thinking of making, and knowing that there are people interested in this I might just go ahead and film it 🥰 Thank you for the suggestion! My gear has changed slightly since this video, was made, I invested in a Sony camera, but I still have my Canon and use it. Will be happy to share my gear and how I film! I think it might be useful for short format videos too
