  • Exposure: We’ll discuss just how important the exposure triangle is and how to use it to your advantage.

  • Optimum shooting environments: How can you create the perfect setting for the best shots? You’ll experience how to control the shooting environment to bring out the very best in each piece.

  • Lighting: You’ll be given techniques to make a gem sparkle on the page as well as it does in your hand. I’ll show you how you can bring dimensionality, life, and realism to each photo.
