Here’s a bit of show and tell from recent Close Up Jewelry Photography Classes. I have before and after shots taken by 2 of my recent students. Well, truthfully, the after photos were taken in class. But, these are pictures taken by the students with their cameras. Add some instruction, proper lighting, focus techniques and staging and improvement happens.

And this is a picture that Maureen took during class:

Maureen works with Polymer Clay and created the pendant and earrings in the pictures. Somehow she combines the Polymer Clay with Swarovski Crystals. I think there’s a bit of magic in there.

Maureen doesn’t yet have a website, but that should change, don’t you think?

Here’s a picture Sue sent me - this is Before class:

And here’s After:
