How We Started Working Together
Design Works Studios are a new client for me, but in the short space of time that I’ve known Tuula and the team, we’ve already worked on 3 shoots together.
When they first approached me, they had seen previous work I had done for Enibas Jewellery, you can see that album here.
Initially they were interested in white-background, catalog photography to start, with potential to work on more branding style imagery down the line.
In our first shoot I shot a few rings with large gemstones, and a wedding band, you can see a few examples below, and the full album you can see here.
Another Catalog Shoot
Tuula was really pleased with the first set of photos that I delivered, and from there we began working on another catalog shoot.
In order to be more efficient I shot a larger volume of rings this time, and you can see a few examples of the final images below.
I was really pleased with how they turned out, as jewellery can always be a tricky product to light. You have to really pay attention to reflections in the piece, and then in post it requires an in-depth knowledge of lightroom and photoshop to get the final image to a high standard.
Commercial Branding Photography
After shooting predominantly white background, catalog photography, we decided to focus on some more branding style imagery.
This was needed as they are currently updating their website and need content that’s fresh and on brand with the direction they are going.
This shoot was done only the other week and you can see the more rugged, gritty style to the images that matches the workshop environment where the jewellery is made.
I hope to continue work with Tuula and Design Works, and hopefully will work on some video content as well.
