Yes. I used to do catalog work for bloomingdales. Not Photography, but I retouched it all.

I have not shot jewelery, but I have shot and made a lightbox for small products with fantastic results. I have shot prods for 3 different companies.

Nope. But I did it for a year. Hundreds of images. I never saved any because it was not that interesting to me.
Images like these.
http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/index.ognc?CategoryID=3376&PageID=14502903908192
All the golds had to be consistent.
Shadows were consistent. Flesh tones were very specific too.
Lot's of montage work. Mostly silo's, color corrections, Removing color cast and outside reflections that effect the color. and shadow work. Fashion work when there was a model.
Notice all the silvers look the same.

They were very picky.
They would actually send us all the jewelery to swatch match.

i lost most of my raws, but these are 2 of my functionals..

Im no pro, dont claim to be, but scissors are a pain in the ass to shoot because of their rounded edges. Also, my box (which takes up more room than blurks..lol) and 1 raw photo, no processing, only resized.







The box


side shot. this box is lit from all sides and top. I have even stuck a light inside of it before.


Looking into the box


This is how I control the lights.. not exactly a hotshoe, but it works well for me.


This is an unedited image straight from the box.
