What does jewellery product photography cost?

Marketplace listing images run Rs 150 to Rs 500 per image. Studio and creative work runs Rs 500 to Rs 2,500 per image. Jewellery sits at the higher end because each piece is lit individually and macro detail takes longer than a standard pack shot. Send the piece count and we will quote.

Do you shoot on models?

Yes. Model and hand shots are worth it wherever scale matters, which is most necklaces, earrings and rings. A piece photographed alone leaves the buyer guessing at size.

How do you keep gold looking like the real piece?

Tone is matched against the physical item under neutral light before files go out. Yellow gold, rose gold and plating all shift differently, and a mismatch is obvious the moment a buyer compares two listings.

Is my jewellery safe with you?

Pieces are logged in and out, shot in a single session rather than held longer than needed, and couriered back insured where the value calls for it. Tell us the declared value when you book so the return leg is covered properly.

Jewellery is small, mirrored and expensive, which is an awkward combination. Every polished facet reflects whatever is in front of it, so the studio has to be built around the piece rather than the other way round.

What makes jewellery different from other product work

A polished metal surface is a mirror with curves. It does not show light, it shows the room. A bare studio produces a dull grey piece, so the reflections have to be built deliberately out of white and black cards until the metal reads as metal.

Gold tone is where most jewellery photography falls apart. Yellow gold, rose gold and gold plate all shift differently under the same light, and a buyer comparing two listings side by side notices immediately.

Gemstones need light entering from the right angle to show fire. Lit flat they go dead, and a stone that looks dead in the image reads as glass regardless of what it cost.

Scale is the last problem. A ring photographed alone could be any size. Something in frame has to answer the question before the buyer asks it.

How we shoot it

Reflections built with cards and gobos so the metal has shape, rather than lighting the piece flat and hoping.
Gold tone matched against the physical piece rather than a screen, because yellow and rose gold drift in opposite directions under the same light.
Stones lit for fire, with the light angled to enter the facets rather than wash across them.
Macro detail on clasps, hallmarks and settings. These are the images that answer the trust question for a high value purchase.
Model and hand shots where scale matters. A necklace on a neck and a ring on a hand end the size question in one frame.
