In this video, Don from the Online Jewelry Academy demonstrates how to make and use a jewelry photography lightbox that will solve many of the problems associated with jewelry photography. With this setup you'll be able to quickly take high quality photos of your jewelry for use on social media outlets using your smartphone.
The cameras on our cellphones are often better than our digital cameras. And, with the wide range of photo editing apps available, it has never been easier to adjust and edit photos.
The photos you take using this system, made from up-cycled materials, will help you give your jewelry photos a professional look.

Another great video John and Don! You are the best. I just happen to have the necessary parts and am going to make one today.

You can't beat sunlight. Plus, it saves you from having to make a ton of color adjustments in your photo program. You can always use artificial lighting if you need to work in the studio. We've had really good luck with LED lights. Thanks for your support! : )

Hi. I really enjoyed your video. You are a fantastic teacher. Do you have any tips on how to make jewelry video reviews? I had such a hard time focusing the objects when I would bring them up close to the camera. They are mainly colored crystals. Thank you.

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 8 лет назад

+Welfm Shop Glad you enjoyed the jewelry photography video. I'm not sure what you want to accomplish when you say you want "tips on how to make jewelry video reviews". Photographing or making videos of crystal objects can be very tricky. You're just need to practice and take note of what does and doesn't work. Good luck. Thanks for your support! : )

@Welfmshop 8 лет назад

Yep. I realize that. It's all practice. Thank you for your input.

@tammyambrose6977 7 лет назад

Finally, a way to photograph jewellery without spending a fortune AND seems easy too. I just have one question for you, did you have to cut a small hole in the bottom side of the base to get the led light to fit in the middle? It looks like you did but I'm assuming you only have to do that if the light will not fit underneath without having to lay it on its side. Thank you for sharing a great and easy way to photograph jewelry 🤗

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 7 лет назад

Hi Tammy, The only hole cut was cut into the base of the waste paper basket (or bleach bottle). The styrofoam plate was given legs in order to lift it high enough for the LED lamp to fit under it. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for your support! : )

@spicydamesvintagejewelryth2155 4 года назад

I go through bleach like water ... I use it for everyday cleaning...lol

@barbra429 7 лет назад

Hello, such a creative technique. I make makeup bags and want to sell them online. Can you tell me if this technique would work as far as lighting, will it make my product look washed out? Also, I think the bleach container would be too small, so do know of any other "cheap" item I could use...Thanks so much.

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 7 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed the video. As far as photographing larger items goes, we haven't looked into it at all. You might investigate using a white pet tent to photograph your items. Good luck! Thanks for your support! : )

@btnbtnful 9 лет назад

Interesting video. I need a better method to capture antique buttons which are 3D. Was using an old CCD scanner, (camera-like), but the new CIS scanner technology is entirely flat. The only available scanners with CCD are $$$'s models. On your Samsung, what is the editing app you're using? I don't think my Galaxy III has this built in. It's time to replace this phone soon, and after seeing this video, that new models will perform as replacement camera/scanner is a plus. I was considering the Note as the newest eliminate the SD card = less storage. Since you're using smart phone As Camera, any thoughts guidance on the available phone-cam models, and photo storage?

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 9 лет назад

+r's mom I am not an expert in cell phones, so I can't really give you much guidance on purchasing one, other than mentioning that the one I was using is a Samsung Note 3, which I love. In comparing the Note 3 to the Note 4, I don't see any major advantage for me to upgrade. The editing program I was using is called Photo Editor Pro by Zentertain. It is free from Google Play Store and very easy to use. There are other programs that probably work as well, but that is just the one I chose, and since it worked well, I didn't investigate further. Best of luck with your project.

@btnbtnful 9 лет назад

+OnlineJewelryAcademy Thanks for your quick response and surprisingly the Note 3, not the 4 was recommended for its slightly better quality/stability, and ?? there was another reason I don't recall on the spot here. Perhaps storage, which was why I was not looking at the most current models, minus the card. Lighting for these small 3D objects has been an onlgoing huge issue. Thanks for assembling a extremely modest cost, quick, do-able solution.

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 9 лет назад

+r's mom In my case, I already own the Note 3 and when the Note 4 came out, I didn't find the upgraded features to be substantial enough for me to spend the money to upgrade. The big thing I don't like about the Note 4 is the lack of an external memory card. Otherwise, it is overall a slightly better phone than the one I own. Thanks for watching our videos.

@kathleentomczik5782 6 лет назад

How about flat jewelry photos? I do teracotta.

@OnlineJewelryAcademy 6 лет назад

The same techniques shown in the video will work for your terra-cotta jewelry. The diffusion of the light with the stability of the "dome" over your piece(s) will help you to perfect your photo on your smart phone. Try it out! Thanks for your support! : )
