Photographing jewelry can be a daunting task, you get lots of reflections, glare and shadows, the three strikes against any product photographer. I have photographed jewelry now for seven years and every photo shoot is different. You come up with a lot of tricks to make the jewelry look its best including: Photo tents, light reflectors, positioning the lights in 100s of different ways! I must say though that my first jewelry photo shoot with my newly purchased Canon 5D Mark iii and my Alien Bees 800s really turned out beautifully. I used a light tent to diffuse the light and the colors came out brilliantly. These shots could use a little more post production work but the results out of camera were so beautiful I wanted to post them without finishing it up in Photoshop. Cheers to the Canon 5D Mark iii for such accurate color and shine :)
