What camera setting is best for jewelry photography?

Your customers want to see every detail. Use an aperture of f/11 or greater and an ISO of 100 or less. Set your white balance to get the colors you want. Set it manually or use your camera’s automatic mode and check the results.

6. Take the photo. Put your camera on a tripod and angle the lens down at the product. Position your lights above your product on either side, angle them down, and set them to the same power. This setup should evenly light your product without ugly bright spots.

7. Edit and finish. After taking the pictures, prepare them for your online store. Post-production makes photos look professional and beautiful.

How do I take a picture of my engagement ring on my iPhone?

3. Find the right camera focus. The center stone area should be the main focus of the photo. Experiment with different ways to capture details while keeping them in focus. Your iPhone camera can’t focus if you’re less than 4-5 inches away. You can use optical zoom on newer iPhones and Galaxy phones to focus on the ring while zooming in. Newer iPhones with a 3-lens camera have better optical zoom than older models. The iPhone Pro 13 has 3x zoom, the Pro 12 has 2.5x, the Pro 11 has 2x, and older iPhones only do digital zoom, which compromises quality. If you need to borrow an iPhone, borrow a Pro and try portrait mode. Samsung Galaxy S20 series and up have optical zoom from 3x to 10x. We had good luck with a Galaxy S23.

4. Should I get a macro clip-on lens? There are many clip-on macro lenses for your phone that won’t damage it. They’re not essential for photographing your engagement ring, but they’ll show the details of your diamond. Some buyers value those details, while others don’t. This photo lets buyers see the details of the ring they want to buy. If you use a macro lens, don’t use it alone to photograph the ring. It will distort it. It’s great for a close-up photo.

How do I take a photo of my engagement ring?

Take the photo outside. Take an engagement ring selfie outdoors in natural light. If you’re taking the picture right after the proposal, include the setting in the background. If your partner proposed on the beach, include the waves or sand behind you. Ask your partner to be in the background, smiling or jumping for joy. Try different backgrounds so you have more to choose from when you post it.

Focus. Use your phone’s camera to get the photo just right. Most cameras focus on faces. To focus on your ring, touch where you want the camera to focus and hold for a second or two. If your S.O. is in the background, this will blur their face and show off your new ring. To get the exposure right, tap the exposure icon and slide your finger up, down, left, or right to adjust the brightness.

How to get the best picture of a diamond ring?

Lighting. Diamonds look best in soft lighting. No on-camera flash. This will make the photos too bright and cast shadows. Use continuous diffuse lighting for diamond photos.

Stability. To get a great image of a product, make sure it doesn’t move. You may also find yourself looking for a shot where the jewelry piece is placed in an awkward position. Know your prop wax! You can position the piece however you want and edit it out when cleaning up the final picture.

How do you look good with a ring?

Style influencer Michele Fedecostante suggests picking one color of metal and building around that. “I make sure my rings match my necklace or bracelets to keep my look on point. I don’t mix silver and gold, but I will wear black and gold or black and silver. Matching metals keeps your look clean and uncluttered. We’ve seen socks and sandals go from dad-only to mainstream thanks to Beckham. So who says rules are meant to be broken? Wearing one ring with both metals lets you choose any color for your other rings, bracelet, or watch. It makes your choice look planned, not random.

Speaking of dark (or light)…matching metals to your skin tone is another way to make sure your jewelry looks good.

  • Your tips are so much more helpful compared to other photographers. Right now I am using a t7, the crop sensor is now driving me crazy and I am ready to upgrade. I am struggling with a lot on knowing what camera I should be getting next. Betweenness a r6, rp or just go for the 5dmark iv. Ugh lol i have so many questions lol

  • Hello, I been asked to take pictures of the wedding rings next Saturday. Currently I do not have a macro lens. I may be able to rent one in the next day or two. I have a Canon 50mm f/1.4 and a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens. I also have a Sigma 70-200mm that I been told I can use. Would I been able to use a filter on my lens. What would be my best course of action to use. Limited money to go out and buy a lens. My camera store has a used one for $450. Is it worth purchasing for a couple of shots if the rings?

  • Good tips here katelyn. The most common mistake photogs make with ring shots is shooting wide open at 2.8. There is so little dof at that macro distance that there becomes no practical or aesthetic advantage to shooting at 2.8 instead of even f4 to f8 even. Especially with how virtually any current camera model handles higher ISO’s. I would even suggest using manual focus now with so many cameras equipped with live view and focus peaking.

  • Thanks. That was great. I think the biggest difference with your “preferred” shots and the one “not-great” red-background shot showed in the e-mail is the dreamy hi-key backgrounds that you show. Part of the dreamy-ness has to do with the color. Also, don’t the plane and position dictate each other? Once I choose a plane, doesn’t that indicate where the camera sensor needs to be – either in line with that plane or at an angle to it? Just thoughts – from a philosophy student turned photographer.
