A simple, reliable shoot for jewellery and fashion jewellery created for everyday e-commerce listings. This option is popular with wholesale businesses and brands selling sterling silver or fashion jewellery, and works well for platforms where high-end imagery isn’t required, such as eBay, Etsy, Vinted, Depop, Facebook Marketplace, as well as Shopify and WooCommerce stores.
Jewellery photography for your website and catalogue. This option is ideal if you need beautiful, high-quality images for an online store or a printed company catalogue — the most cost-effective way to get truly premium detail. Each piece is photographed in multiple frames to achieve crisp clarity across the whole item, followed by careful, professional retouching. The final images are made for zooming in, so your customers can explore every detail of your jewellery without losing sharpness.

A premium catalogue shoot for jewellery, produced to the highest standard with no compromises.

On-model jewellery photography helps customers see the true scale of a piece and how it looks when worn, which can positively influence buying decisions. This type of imagery works especially well for e-commerce and online catalogues, where clear, detailed visuals are essential.
Model e-commerce shoots are often booked alongside product catalogue photography, but they can also work as a standalone option — particularly for websites that support image zoom and close-up viewing. A basic shoot is typically delivered with a small team, allowing the process to remain efficient while maintaining a clean, professional result.
I also offer jewellery photography shot on myself as a model, creating natural, elegant imagery with a subtle lifestyle feel. This approach allows for a more streamlined production process and works well for brands looking for consistent, authentic visuals.
Imagery tailored to your brand and visual style
Prepared moodboard approved in advance
Clean, natural retouching of both the model and jewellery
Consistent angles and framing for online catalogues
Turnaround time: up to 2 weeks from final approval
On-model jewellery photography requires careful preparation and a considered approach to styling. Each shoot is planned in advance, with close attention to the overall look, clothing, and visual direction to ensure the jewellery is presented in a consistent and flattering way. Depending on the brief, the production may involve a stylist and a make-up artist alongside the photographer.
I offer a fully managed, end-to-end catalogue and campaign service, from initial creative planning through to final image delivery. This includes developing the visual concept and technical brief, sourcing professional models, stylists and make-up artists, and selecting the most suitable studio or location to match your brand and objectives.
All concepts, styling choices and key shots are agreed in advance, with a detailed moodboard created to ensure a clear and cohesive visual direction. Each shoot is carefully tailored to your product range and positioning.
Alternatively, I’m also happy to work as a photographer within your existing team, collaborating closely with your stylist, make-up artist and creative direction to deliver imagery that aligns seamlessly with your brand.

RECENT PROJECTS
Catalogue jewellery photography for Bohomoon
Bohomoon already had a well-established visual style and a large online catalogue. The brief was to photograph new collections while maintaining complete visual consistency with the existing imagery — including lighting, colour accuracy, framing and retouching style.
This is an ongoing, long-term collaboration, requiring a fast and reliable workflow, with an average of around 50 pieces photographed every two weeks. This approach allows new collections to be added seamlessly, while preserving a cohesive and recognisable brand aesthetic over time.
This project focused on capturing the authentic character of the Prerna Popat brand through expressive, on-model imagery. It was delivered as a fully managed, end-to-end shoot, with the entire production carefully planned and coordinated.
The model, wardrobe, styling, hair and make-up were all selected and approved in close collaboration with the brand to ensure every detail reflected its personality and aesthetic. As a result, the final images are bold and vibrant, featuring rich colours and confident styling that complement the jewellery and enhance its visual impact.
Catalogue photography for the Zodiac collection for Atelier Romy
This project focused on a premium catalogue shoot for Atelier Romy’s Zodiac collection. The key objective was to maintain strong visual consistency across the series, ensuring the collection is clearly perceived as a cohesive body of work.
Particular attention was given to showcasing the natural brilliance of gold and gemstones. This was achieved through controlled black reflections and subtle light gradients, adding depth and elegance to the final images. The shoot also highlighted different chain options available for the pendants, giving customers a clear view of how each piece can be styled.
On-model jewellery campaign photography for a new collection — Lustre & Love
This fully managed, end-to-end shoot was created for a new Lustre & Love collection, with a focus on a calm, refined and understated aesthetic that aligns closely with the brand’s identity.
The production involved two models, with all wardrobe, hair and make-up looks carefully selected and approved in advance to ensure a cohesive and elegant result. Alongside the main imagery, behind-the-scenes photos and video content were captured and successfully used by the brand for ongoing promotion across digital platforms.
