How does it work?
Depending on my queue and amount of jewelry, most projects can be completed within 10-14 business days once jewelry is received.
Contact me - We'll discuss your needs and work out a look that is appropriate for your business. Committing to professional photography is an investment, so it’s important to establish a look and keep it consistent. Contact me.
Download forms - Print out my Packing List and Shot List forms and fill out. This gives me the information I'll need to capture exactly what you want. Be detailed so I can get it right the first time.
Package your items - Package your clean and polished jewelry neatly and securely in plastic baggies along with your filled out forms. Do NOT package jewelry in fiber pouches. Please insure them in case anything gets lost in transit. Obtain and send the tracking number to me by email. I have an automated tracking app. Keep me informed of any delays.
Your items arrive - When your package arrives I will make sure that everything is intact and that I receive the same number of items that you shipped out. If there are any damages or discrepancies I will inform you immediately.
Project begins - I'll review the shot list and ask you if I need clarification on anything. You are more than welcome to add shots if necessary. This process can take a few days and is included in the timeframe given. For ecommerce images you’ll receive quick proofs of the first 3 images for approval before I complete remaining shots. Styled packages include a moodboard to serve as creative direction for your styled shoot.
Photos - I shoot with a Canon 5D MK IV using a 100mm macro lens in high resolution. Ecommerce images must be accompanied by a shot list so I capture the exact position you want.
Editing - All photos include standard retouching to remove minor flaws, however any major flaws require additional retouching work and cost. I will give you a quote at that time and proceed only after your approval if this is ever the case. Additionally, any re-shoots of a piece that is different than the original Shot List will be considered an additional image and billed at your quoted image cost.
Proofs - You will receive watermarked proofs to ensure that the photos are satisfactory. I'm confident you'll love your images, but if you would like anything adjusted or re-edited you may request so at this time.
Payment - Your invoice includes a link to make an online payment via credit card or bank transfer. I request a 50% deposit for larger projects.
Receive images - You will get a WeTransfer link to download your images. This link will be available for 7 days and is your responsibility to save them in a safe place.
Items returned - You can email me a return shipping label with your package and I'll notify you once the package is dropped off.
