Photographing products.

My projects end too soon. Either because there's a deadline on them or because there are monetary restrictions. What ever the reason I feel like I'm just getting started when all of a sudden they're done.

This photograph was the conclusion for this necklace. It may or may not be a piece of jewelry that I personally would wear but playing with it and making it into a something desirable is the motivation.


This is just one out of 5 pieces that my cousin had me photograph. Her designs lend themselves to this type of photo and not the pure white sparkly background shots. Those look better with jeweled pieces. She's working with heavy smithed metals and they seem to look better with some weight or color behind them.

The main attraction is the time I get to spend without interruption, creating in my studio. With music on and various forms of light and props, I easily feel like a conjurer either in the lab or a kid in the sandbox. In my own world....and then it's over all too soon.
