My Photo Studio - A Tour

This is a quick walk-through of how my photo studio is set up. I photograph all my jewelry using this set up. You can find my jewelry at http://noadi.etsy.com

The camera I use is a Panasonic Lumix FZ35 which I really love. You should use the highest quality camera you can afford, it really makes a difference.

looks like your reflectors are foil-covered cardboard? But I can't see how they're attached so that they face into the tent. thx for this video - great info! I have the same camera:-)

@1100bunz They are foil covered cardboard. The one facing in the tent is being held by a little clamp that's on a magnifier sitting next to the tent. I bought it for my sculpting work but it's also handy for holding my reflector.

Your Etsy photos always look so professional, it's cool to see that they are just photos from your homemade studio. I am building a studio of my own so your tips in the video will help me a lot. Thanks for the video :)

@stargatefansg1 Thank you so much. Best advice I can give honestly got left out of the video: experiment. Set aside a couple hours and sit down and play with settings and lighting to figure out what works best. Also don't be afraid to tweak your photos in an editing program, I use GIMP (which is free) to fine tune color as well as cropping and resizing.
