I love your blog. This is my first comment ever. I bought a few vibrant glass bead pieces from bidz.com. They don’t have a lot of trendy stuff but you can find some staple pieces and also things that will make people go “wow, it is spring!”. Well, that is my little secret where I buy jewelry. Hope everyone has a great week!

I prefer to use natural sunlight in my photos. I’m pleased with the results.

Hi Sharon, Thanks so much for your kind feedback! Regarding the colors in your jewelry photos - do you and your husband use a photo editing program, to crop and edit your digital photos? I think you can do all the color adjustment you need with a photo editor. I use PaintShop Pro to edit my photos, and another popular (but expensive) one is PhotoShop. There are also several free online photo editors (which I haven't used, but have heard good things about) - Gimp, Picasa, and Photoscape. In your photo editor, experiment with the color, saturation, contrast, and color balance settings. I bet you'll find you can quickly adjust the colors in your photos so they more accurately show what your jewelry looks like. Hope this helps, and good luck! Rena

I love getting your newsletter, there is always so much to read and learn. However my question is, my husband takes all the pictures for the website. He has invested in cameras, lights. tripod’s and more and yet he still feels he can not get a true picture of the colors of the jewelry. Anyone will to share some ideas , it would be helpful. I have bought your books on all there is to know in selling jewlery and marketing it. But the pictures just are not the right colors.
Thank you Sharon

Helene,

What a lovely thing to say! That really means a lot to me.

Great photo box tip – especially for folks in small homes (like me) who don’t have space for bulky items that don’t get used every day.

Also, I always love things that serve more than one purpose.

Depending on the lampshade, you might also be able to use the wire supports at the top of the lampshade to actually hold your camera, lens pointed down toward your jewelry, like a built-in tripod.

(Similar to how the Cloud Dome photo box works.)

Thanks so much for sharing your brainstorm, Helene!

And I’m glad you stayed on the road and are still with us.

Rena

1. Rena, your newsletters in my inbox makes an okay day great. Always informative and not too much info to take in each time.
2. Cheap Photo Tip: I have been struggling to get an ultra cheap photo box that does the job and is easily moved and stored. Well, a blinding flash of inspiration nearly drove me off the road yesterday. Take a lampshade, the gauze-y white chiffon type, and plop it over your thing being photographed. Adjust your camera to avoid the wire supports at the top and, Bob’s your uncle, you have your cheap, easily moved picture booth. When you are finished with your camera just return the shade to its lamp and it is put away in plain sight.
