An obvious part of launching a new line of jewelry is photographing each piece to put on the website, make line sheets and pitch to the press. I do all of my own product photography here in the studio, which I did Friday afternoon and evening. My product shots include photos of the jewelry flat on a white surface and on a mannequin. A couple of years ago I figured out my current way of shooting in the studio for the white backdrop shots, but I'm always tweaking the mannequin shots. I currently am dragging it outside from 6-7 pm when the sun has become more diffused.
Taking the photos is however only half the battle. I am by no means a fantastic photographer and have to compensate by spending a great deal of time in photoshop making it appear as though I am. That is my mission for today. Spinning photoshop madness. By no means should you envy my plans for the day. The up side is that once the edits are done, I am super close to being ready to launch the new line!!

How exciting! Congrats on your new line!!
Good luck with your photoshop day! As time consuming as it can be, it’s amazing what a little editing can do to a photo. Thank goodness for the digital age.
