Photographing jewelry is a mix of science and technique.  Science in order to understand the effects surface reflectivity and materials used will have when lighting the piece to it's best advantage.  Technique, in order to photograph it such a manner as to make the item as 3 dimensional as possible in a two dimensional medium.  We have worked with all types of jewelry from fine gold and silver to other metals, glass and dichroic materials more common to semi-conductors and silicon wafers.  Our images are used for web, catalog, display, jury submissions, and book illustrations.

A lot of my recent work has been for Beth Williams, a local jewelry designer who creates one of a kind glass beads and jewelry by hand (hers are the hands you see in one of these images).  Each piece is unique and thus presents unique challenges for which we use a variety of backgrounds, lighting techniques and props to do her work justice.  More of Beth's unique pieces can be seen at www.bethwilliams.com.
