How to Shoot a High-End Jewelry Campaign in a Small Space with Lindsay Adler

High-end jewelry campaigns may feel out of reach because of the high costs and large productions often involved, but you don’t need a big studio (or a ton of gear) to create professional results! In this video, I show you how I build a luxury jewelry campaign for my portfolio in a small studio space using a progression of one to four lights. My approach focuses on technical control to create the specularity and separation that high-end clients expect, even when shooting in a smaller space (such as a converted office or spare bedroom). You'll learn how to: • Maximize a small studio space for high-end beauty and jewelry photography • Build a lighting setup from one to four strobes for greater control and separation • Use an optical spot to create hard, specular highlights on jewelry 💡 Lighting Setup • Main Light: Westcott Optical Spot (with 150mm lens) used to create hard, specular light and controlled slices of light. • Fill Light: Bare bulb strobe fill add shadow detail and increase sparkle in the jewelry. • Rim / Hair Light: Boomed Profoto B10X Plus placed behind the subject to create separation and highlight the shoulders. • Background Light: Bare bulb on a floor stand used to create a gradient and add depth. 📸 Camera Settings ✅ Aperture: F13 ✅ Shutter speed: 1/200th ✅ ISO: 800 SUBSCRIBE AND BE PART OF THE ADORAMA FAMILY: ➥ https://www.youtube.com/user/adoramaTV __________________________________ Be the first to shop our great deals and sales by signing up for emails from Adorama! https://www.adorama.com/MyAccount/Login 🔷 Save 5% Every Day† or Special Financing* On purchases of $199+ with the Adorama Edge Credit Card.
