Hello! I’m Dominic, and I specialise in jewellery photography from my studio in Nottingham. Capturing the brilliance, detail and craftsmanship of fine jewellery requires precision, expertise and an eye for perfection. I specialise in creating stunning images that showcase jewellery pieces in their finest light, whether you’re a boutique jeweller, an online retailer or a luxury brand.
Using professional lighting, macro lenses and meticulous post-production, I ensure every image highlights the sparkle of every gemstone and the gleam of every precious metal. From engagement rings and wedding bands to statement necklaces and bespoke pieces, I photograph all types of jewellery with the same attention to detail. Get in touch to discuss your jewellery photography requirements.
Professional Jewellery Photography Services
Jewellery photography is one of the most technically demanding areas of product photography. Reflective metals pick up every light source, finger mark, and dust particle. Gemstones need careful lighting to show their brilliance without overexposure. Delicate chains and settings require extreme precision in focus and depth of field. I’ve developed the specialist knowledge and equipment to overcome these challenges consistently.
E-Commerce Jewellery Photography
Clean, consistent white or light background photography for online retailers. Every piece photographed to the same high standard, with consistent sizing and presentation – essential for a professional online shop. I can deliver images to exact platform specifications for Etsy, ASOS Marketplace, your own website, or any other channel. All e-commerce jewellery images include professional retouching to ensure perfect colour accuracy, removal of dust and fingerprints, and enhancement of sparkle and shine.
Macro & Detail Jewellery Photography
Specialist close-up and macro photography that shows the intricate craftsmanship of each piece in extraordinary detail. Ideal for showcasing hallmarks, stone settings, engravings, and the fine details that make handmade jewellery truly special. I use specialist macro lenses and a focus-stacking technique for pieces with significant depth, ensuring every detail is sharp and beautifully rendered.
Lifestyle Jewellery Photography
Jewellery worn by a model or styled in a beautiful setting creates an emotional connection and helps customers visualise wearing the piece themselves. I work with experienced models and can handle all aspects of the styling and shoot direction, or work alongside your own creative team. Lifestyle jewellery photography works brilliantly for social media, brand campaigns, and editorial features.
Brand & Campaign Jewellery Photography
For jewellery brands with a strong identity and specific creative vision, I collaborate closely to bring that vision to life. From lookbooks and catalogues through to advertising campaign imagery and social media content, I have the experience and the eye to deliver jewellery photography that matches premium brand aesthetics.
The Technical Challenges of Jewellery Photography
Jewellery is one of the hardest subjects to photograph well, and it’s why specialist skills really matter. Highly polished metals reflect everything around them – including the camera, the studio, and even the photographer. Transparent and translucent gemstones need light to pass through them in exactly the right way to show their true colour and brilliance. Intricate chain links and tiny settings require depth of field control that simply isn’t achievable with a standard camera setup.
I use specialist macro lenses, controlled lighting with diffusers and reflectors designed specifically for reflective surfaces, and focus-stacking techniques that combine multiple exposures to achieve full sharpness across a piece. Every image is edited individually – no automated batch processing that misses the details that matter.
Jewellery Photography Pricing
Jewellery photography is priced per piece or per day depending on the volume and complexity of the shoot. Get in touch with details of your collection – the type of pieces, the number of items, and the type of images you need – and I’ll give you a transparent quote. First-time clients are always welcome to request a test shoot to see the quality before committing to a larger project.
Why Choose Image & Light for Jewellery Photography?
Specialist Equipment – Macro lenses, specialist lighting rigs, focus-stacking capability – the right tools for the job, used by someone who knows how to use them.
Meticulous Retouching – Every jewellery image is individually retouched. Dust, fingerprints, scratches and reflections are removed carefully, and sparkle and brilliance are enhanced.
Over 20 Years’ Experience – I’ve photographed jewellery at all price points and for all types of clients, from independent designers to established retailers. I know what works.
Flexible Service – From a single piece for an Etsy listing to a full collection for a brand launch, I’m flexible and can work to your timeline and budget.
