Professional Jewelry Photography and DIY tips

Saturday June 14th, 2025 10am-4pm

Being held at CMAG's Makerspace, located at 5040 SE Milwaukie Ave., Portland, OR 97202. 

Capturing the perfect image of your jewelry is essential for selling, branding, and standing out in a

competitive market. In this engaging and practical one day (6hr) workshop, professional photographers

Scott Erb and Donna Dufault will guide you through the fundamentals of jewelry photography, equipping you

with the skills to elevate your product images—whether you’re using a smartphone or professional gear.

Jewelry presents unique photography challenges—highly reflective surfaces, intricate details, and color

accuracy. We’ll cover lighting techniques, including how to use natural light and DIY studio setups on a

budget. You’ll learn to rig your own gear using simple, cost-effective tools that yield professional-quality

results.

This course also explores different photography approaches for various platforms, from high-end ad

photography to engaging social media content and clean, consistent website images. You’ll learn when it’s

best to DIY vs. hire a professional, and how investing in the right photography can boost your brand.

Expect hands-on demonstrations, on-screen examples, and real-world case studies—including recent

shoots. Whether you're a jewelry artist, small business owner, or content creator, you’ll leave this workshop

with practical tips, creative inspiration, and a clearer vision for showcasing your jewelry in its best light.

Join us for this immersive experience and discover how to transform your jewelry photography into a powerful selling tool.
