Hello all,
I have two small jewellery web sites and run on a limited budget. I always struggle to achieve good quality photo's and have decided to spend some money on some studio lighting as I think this may be where I'm going wrong, I've read the post's in this forum but I'm still left with questions.
My current set up is that I have digital canon ixus 500, a 30cm cubelite box, and I use 4 18watt daylight helix bulbs in aluminium reflector's.
I was looking at something like buying two 500w Tungsten 3200K (int 100) which are around £45 to £55 each with bulb.
Would this improve the quality of my pictures?
Would anyone have any advice on jewellery photography or my set up and how to improve it. I really only have about £100 to spend.
Please see attached file to as my present photo quality, this has been edited in photo package.
Please excuse my limited knowledge, I'm a complete beginner.
