uccemebug Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 A question for studio photographers of jewelry. On various websites with photographs of rings (such as Tiffany), you often see photos which make it appear that the ring is standing free of any supports. Typically the ring in such a photo has a shadow, but you don't see a shadow for any supports or wires. Is this done in Photoshop, or are there tricks to this done in the studio?

anthonyd Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Most likely done in photoshop. However, you could try a small amount of something like "Quake Hold" on the bottom of the ring to stand it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_mains Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have used a small ammount of adhesive glue on products like rings. For shadowless images, a small lightbox is also useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
