Horizontal View

  A natural progression that has come from the Classic Low Angle and the Hanging Jewelry Set-ups is the Horizontal View set-up. This set-up puts the camera angle of view perpendicular to a jewelry item like a ring. This view helps to create a unique, eye-catching photo of the piece. There are endless possibilities for backgrounds, stages, and jewelry arrangements with this set-up. In working with this set-up the past six years, I feel I have just scratched the surface of its creative potential.

What this service offers

A unique horizontal view of a ring or other jewelry

A unique way to combine different types of jewelry in a single photo

Many creative possibilities for staging and backgrounds

 
 

Special Considerations

With rings, this set-up is good at showing side shank detail. If a design is top dominated or has a featured center stone, the ring must be laid down or cranked over sideways. Some customers find this is OK to do, while others feel it makes the piece look to unnatural. So this set-up is not for everyone and certain styles will not photograph will in this set-up.
This set-up has very limited depth-of-field. All pieces will have to be aligned along a single plane. This will make certain grouping of jewelry impossible.

Usage

This is a creative advertising shot and not a documentation of the jewelry. Photos are best used for display advertising and promotional mailings and not for catalog or portfolio.

Cost

Price is the same as the Classic but all multi piece photos charged at the Classic Group rate.

Turn Around Time

Usually the same as the Classic but some complicated backgrounds and stages may require additional time.
