| Lighting and background are very important when taking pictures. Natural lighting or lighting coming in from all angles highlights the different dimensions of the pearls and gives a better portrayal of the pearls' qualities. Also for background, always choose a neutral background such as light gray or white. Pearls are very hard to photograph even for professionals because there are so many factors that need to be captured to give a representative picture. If you want to be able to take the pictures yourself, I recommend doing so in bright natural lighting using no flash and a flat light gray background that has no texture. Also it helps to use the macro option on your camera.
Best of luck! |
