In addition to the vogue idea Devon had also expressed an interest to shoot jewellery style images. These are typically close up as the purpose is to show the jewellery rather than the model.

She had brought along a number of pieces to wear and I added to them with a dragon ring that my wife had given me as a Christmas present. It made for a very interesting image.

In order to focus solely on the jewellery it is fairly common that the models do not wear anything that will distract from the items.  Devon was happy to shoot topless although we insured that nothing showed in the images.

For this series of images there was no need to change the lighting. The main light was in a beauty dish positioned above the camera. A second light was positioned camera right. This was shooting into a 7′ umbrella with diffusion to fill in the shadows.

All of the images in this post was shot with my Lumix G9 with settings 1/200s f10 SO 200 with focal lengths ranging from 26mm to 50mm. The setting ensured that I had full control of the light while also giving me a good depth of field. 

Devon was happy with the resulting images.
