Lampwork Etc. - 30-Day Online Workshop for Jewelry Photography

First, we will go over the various aspects of our cameras, what certain “terms” mean, and how to get the most out of your set-up. You don’t need a fancy/expensive camera to take this course as I will help you get the most of everything from a pricey DSLR to a point-and-shoot to a cell phone camera.
In the second section, we’ll talk about the “set-up” and I’ll show you some tips and tricks to create “staging” for online sales or show applications, and we’ll discuss how to get a great photo on the first try. We don’t want everyone’s photos looking the same but we do want everyone to improve their own process of taking photos, so we will cover a few different set-ups.
In the final section, we’ll discuss photo editing. I will cover techniques in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and GIMP (free online photo-editing software). Other programs will work too and some of you may even be able to do editing from cell phone apps. My goal is to have you in and out of editing as soon as possible. With better photos, comes less editing.
