Do you know that great looking photos can dramatically make a difference in what the perceived value is of the item you are photographing? Yes, it’s true. Several years ago I started helping my wife build her eBay business while creating the photos of jewelry and small products that she was selling. Over and over again I saw her sell her items on eBay for many times more than what she paid for them. Her items sometimes would sell for 35 or 50 times more than what she paid. Sometimes even more than that.
What’s the difference between the items? Nothing, except the photos that she showed were beautiful. They were lit and composed beautifully, had interesting backgrounds and overall, had the look that you might see in the photographs displayed at high end jewelers and department stores. As the result, this gave them a much higher perceived value and her customers were willing to pay more for these items.
You are probably wondering, what’s the big deal? What makes these photos look so great? Can anyone learn to take photos like these? Yes, I absolutely believe anyone can? Here’s why:
I have been a professional photographer for many years. Our studio specialized in portrait & wedding photography and we were quite busy. When she asked me to help her take her photos of jewelry and small products she started selling, I started doing so in a simple, easy and quick way since I didn’t have too much time to spend on her photos, I was quite busy taking my own photos and running the studio.
What started as a simple and quick photo session of her items, has evolved through the years. I was able to fine tune the lighting, the set-up and overall way we photographed her items. Our method has remained simple, quick, easy to learn, and consistent. We step into our small studio room we have designated for taking these photos, turn on the lights, and begin the photography.
If you would like to learn how you can take photos of the small products or jewelry you are selling, consider enrolling in this course. Instead of photographing your items on a carpet or bed spread with bad lighting. Say NO to bad photos and start making more money. Whether you are selling your own products on your own website or small products on eBay, I truly believe this course can help you.

This course is full of steps to make your product images shine. It teaches you how to make your own light reflectors, props, backgrounds and offers some interesting post process techniques.

Having worked on fashion brands as a graphic designer, I think some of the presentations need a bit of update. But the lecture/presentation on using Photoshop to improve the images are pretty good :’) The techniques are pretty simple and easy to follow, but gives really clean, uncomplicated outputs. The final result really depends on your creativity and openness to experimentation. Start shooting! :’)
He still updates the course with other techniques and new materials as he discovers them or to add more value to the course. Very good starting point for jewelry photography.
Jorge Olan –
Ideas and concepts are user friendly. Once I’m able to apply various techniques to photographing jewelry I’ll have a better idea of their applications. My area of interest is photography of diamond rings and so a lot of the lessons are applicable to my work.
Thank you so much for your sense of direction and lessons.

When I first decided to take this course I only did it because I was curious, but I really got a lot out of these lessons. I’ve always had a tiny interest in small product photography and I figured this course might be just what I need to learn a little bit more on the subject. You see, before I retired I used to be a professional photographer. Nikon cameras were my choice but I have been known to shoot with a GoPro from time to time. Now I mainly shoot with my Nikon D600. I still use Photoshop almost every day. And I’m also an illustrator and because of that I use a Wacom Intuos Pro digital tablet to draw and paint with on a regular basis and to edit my photos too ( Now I contribute many of my photos to stock photo agencies) . So much of what I encountered in the course I already knew. I’ve even sold many, many items on Ebay for myself and for friends as well. I’m also a former wedding and event photographer. But I have to say the information you provided in the course was concise and right on point. Because of that I enjoyed the course very, very much.
So keep up the good work. I think this will be a great way for anyone to pick up an extra source of income with just a minimum amount of effort.

This was a great course for anyone who wants to take their own photographs of their artwork or jewelry. I felt like I had gotten the teachings from a master photographer and many of the tips and tricks he taught were incredibly useful. I highly recommend this class.
Terje Brattelid –
This course has been very informative and I have learned a lot. The instructor has a nice voice which has been pleasant to listen too, he does not speak too fast nor too slow. If you are serious about learning small product photography but also photography in general I will highly recommend this course.

Kashi Everett –
Great content and experience. Room for improvement with delivery of content however overall this is an excellent resource for small product photography!
Fabrizio Magrini –
Ho appena cominciato. Vediamo il resto. Per ora ok. A questo punto devo aggiungere che mi aspettavo più esempi pratici con dati tecnici sull’uso delle luci nelle varie situazioni. Questo aspetto è stato un po’ marginale o poco sviluppato.
Fabio Roma –
The content was really helpful to me.
I want to improve the quality of the photos for my e-commerce, but I’m a business grad with no prior interest in photography.
Mission acomplished!
Lorena Shaffman –
