Taking pictures

She though me a lot and now I help her now making pearl jewelry. The rest of my familly also make jewelry, my brother is better at working with metal. I design clasp and he makes them for me.

I want to learn the most I can about pearls to start my own company in the near future. I dont want to only make the necklaces for other store, I want sell them the finish product, the pearls and the clasps.

Can anyone please help me with my background and lighting?

Then I'll be able to show you my littles creations
