Small Object Photography
I've been updating my Etsy site this past week and photography is a big part of having a shop. Etsy has some great tutorials and they provide links to other sites that can help with photography. One of them is Small Object Photography for Artists and Craftmakers. It's a new site and I'm interested in following Marlo's site to see what tips I can pick up.

Your jewelry is absolutely stunning! I love the ancient, ethnic vibe. They make me want to touch them!
Gail, wonderful photos (and of course your work is gorgeous as well)!
Would you mind sharing what type of camera you use and if you take your pictures in the same lighting? Aside from using your macro setting, what EV (exposure) and white setting s do you use?
Also, what background do you use?
I guess the question is - what is your photo setup? :)
Thanks!

Thanks everyone!! I use a point and shoot...a Canon SD870 IS. I have a small light tent and use fluorescent lights. I bought a small black shelf at Target and place the jewelry on that. I put in on manual and set the lighting at fluorescent high, center weighted. I don't set anything else. I have hot spots due to the lights focusing down so I just started shooting the lights up at the ceiling and that's seemed to help some. The rest I am still trying to figure out...which is why I am looking at photography sites.
Your photos are looking good! Reflected light is definitely the way to go esp. with jewelry :) Glad you like the blog so far...and thanks for the mention! - Marlo M. http://smallobjectphotography.com
Hi Marlo!! I think all jewelry artists are looking for more info in taking better photos. Thanks for doing a blog!!
