Style a Long Necklace for Product Photography

Video Transcript

"Hi. I'm Micheal Seto. In this clip we're going to talk about how to style and shoot a long necklace. There's a couple of choices when shooting a long necklace. You can try and shoot it from an angle, and that way you're focusing on hopefully the pendant or the part of the necklace that's most interesting or you can shoot it from top down. Let's say I have the pendant on the floor, have the camera on a tripod and shoot down to get the entire necklace. So it's a couple of basic ways to shoot a necklace. Usually with a long necklace that has a pendant, you really want to focus more on the, the pieces of the pendant themselves. It's a style choice, but it really is a choice of your client. Do they want to say maybe take a low angle here with the, with the necklace itself in the background? There's many ways to style this to get that to look interesting as your shooting a low angle into the piece that focuses on this and then you got a little bit of the necklace in the back. Or, if your client prefers, they want a top down shot then the, the pendant itself of course will be smaller relative to everything and will require slightly different styling. So with a long necklace, there's several ways to shoot it and you've just got to play around with it, see what looks good for you but most importantly what your client likes."
