Professional jewelry photos without professional budgets
In this course, Alex Koloskov will show you how to start in jewelry photography with minimal equipment, and still take beautiful photos of various jewelry using inexpensive cameras and lighting.
DIY light modifiers
Instead of expensive lights costing hundreds more, we use $15 LED lamps or $60 Speedlites. Instead of expensive light shades and filters, you’ll learn how to build DIY, easy-to-customize light boxes and cones, shooting on a crop-sensor budget camera on top of it.
Effective techniques to capture jewelry
The key is understanding the physics of light and the ability to use that understanding in practice. This is where you’ll really shine: the most effective, easy-to-use techniques in jewelry photography, with an explanation of why each one works.
