Tiffany-style jewellery photography
High end jewellery warrants the Tiffany style of jewellery photography! To achieve the ultra-polished look – stylistically it looks like a cross between photography and technical drawing – requires extra studio time and a HUGE amount of extra post-production (Photoshop) time compared with the jewellery packshots above.
The Tiffany style has a lot of sparkle, a shadow/reflection and slightly blue tint. All the tiny imperfections in the jewellery are painted out in post-production to achieve the ultra-smooth, almost technically drawn look.
We have to charge a lot more for Tiffany style photography to cover the time involved, so we only recommend it for high value jewellery – please call Mike on 020 8255 9623 to get a quote for a Tiffany treatment that will be tailored to your needs. You will also need to factor in the cost of insurance and security for high value jewellery whilst it is on the photoshoot.
