Im currently looking into putting together a lighting setup that will be specifically used for photographing jewelry. I need to give these images a professional look as it will be used for a website. ive picked up a copy of Light, Science & Magic so that i can learn how to set and arrange the lights.
I currently have a light tent but im also interested in purchasing a light table as i notice that pictures inside a light tent can be alittle...soulless?
Can someone please advise me on what type of lights i should be using? continous lights? strobes? LED? florescent? Im thinking of going with JTL for all my lighting needs, is this a good brand? I just noticed they sell certain types of kits that are convenient for me
my current equipment is: Nikon D300, lenses; Nikon 105mm f/2.8 D AF, Nikon 60mm f/2.8 AF, Nikon PB4 bellows, tripod, remote shutter release, Stack Shot Focus Stacking Rail, Helicon Focus, Photoshop CS6. i photograph all types of jewelry, from simple bands with and without engraving all the way up to larger size diamonds and colored stones, bracelets, pendants, etc.
