Invitation to My How to Photograph Jewelry Talk!  More Recent Articles  Search The Beading Gem's Journal Invitation to My How to Photograph Jewelry Talk! As you know, I love sharing all the new things I learn about taking jewelry pictures on this blog. - always an ongoing learning experience.  Photography is a tough subject for the majority of online jewelry artisans as good product photography is important but for many, still a stumbling block.  I've now completely revamped and improved the talk I gave last year at the Grand River Bead Society, where I am a member. That's because the ladies at the West Toronto Beading Guild have invited me to present it at a guest speaker event at 7 pm on Tuesday April 14 at : John Paul II Polish-Canadian Cultural Center 4300 Cawthra Road Mississauga ON L4Z 1V8 I would love to have you come if you are reasonably close by enough to attend.  My talk is free. There is a guest fee of $5 to the Guild if you are not already a member. The talk simplifies the whole process of jewelry photography so YOU can begin to take better pictures.  Don't rely on others! I cover what you need to know about the different types of cameras - especially smartphone cameras, demystify the conditions and settings required and share with you many tips and tricks.  There are loads of photographs from my blog as examples. Please bring a pen and paper for notetaking.  If you wish, bring your camera (and manual). There will be time for questions after the talk and perhaps a look at your camera. If you can come, let me know via email - I would love to meet readers. ______________________________ Original Post by THE BEADING GEM Jewelry Making Tips - Jewelry Business Tips           Share Your Comment!
