About the Photography Course

This jewelry photography course will break down the process and editing involved in creating this stunning visual. It will explain how to achieve the lighting, composition and styling of the vertical light beam as it pierces through a stack of leather bracelets. A special emphasis will be placed on the set up, as well as, post-production editing. The leather bracelets used for this image are from Dora Fashion.

I am excited to announce that I’ve set up a world map where my students, and those that have signed up for the course, can leave a pinpoint to where they are based in the world. It is always interesting to see where others are living, and how global the still life photography community is.

The Subject

Adhesive tape played a big role in positioning the leather bracelets in a way that made them appear to be floating. Initially, I tried using fishing gut (nylon) but the stack would not remain in a vertical line. It also didn’t offer the same rigidity or firmness that the tape did. I started with taping two long strips of adhesive tape onto the c-stand.

They ran in parallel to each other downwards. Next. I attached four leather bracelets over the two lines of tape. So that the sticky side of the tape attached to the inner surface of the bracelets. To make the stack of bracelets appear natural, I taped them to sit at opposing angles from each other. You can see that each bracelet is sloped diagonally.
