Welcome to Van Rossen PhotoGraphics.

If you are looking for a photographer that offers first tier commercial photography for advertising you are at the right site. I am best known as a gemstone and jewelry photographer but I do work with a variety of other subjects. I strive to produce pictures that have impact (get attention) and communicate a message. Most of the pictures I create are for use in advertising (to sell) or editorial (to inform). I am currently located in Portland, Oregon but I work with clients through out the nation. You will find on this web site examples of my photographs, more on my background, information on photo services I offer and what new areas I have been exploring. Please take sometime to look around and let me know if may be of help on your next project.

Gemstone and Jewelry Photography

Gemstone and jewelry photography accounts for the bulk of my commercial work. I have worked with this subject and the Jewelry Industry since 1981. During this time I have developed and built over a dozen special lighting set-ups that make jewelry pieces look their best. This variety of set-ups not only gives creative options when photographing jewelry but also helps solve technical problems that arise with things like phenomenal gemstones and unusual (creative) jewelry designs. These special lighting set-ups also work great on other very small products for advertising or editorial (ball bearings to coffee beans).
