GEEWIZZ CHarity collaboration…
I recently collaborated with the GeeWizz Charity to help take some images that they needed for their website regarding a charity auction. They had kindly been donated huge amounts of handmade jewellery made by Imogen Sheeran (Yes, that’s Ed Sheeran’s Mum!) with the idea in mind that they would be auctioned off and the money raised would go to charity! The rest of the pieces were being put on Etsy to sell, again raising money for the chosen charities.
The images were nothing like anything I have ever done before and they needed a lot of trial and error to try and get the setup right. But I knew how much of a difference it would make to the selling of the pieces, if they had been photographed well. They needed to show off every aspect of the jewellery and ultimately make people want to buy them!
There was loads of pieces to get through ranging from necklaces, to bracelets, earrings and more! It took me a fair while to get through them all, but once I have the correct set up, it was then a fairly straightforward process just swapping in and out the different items. The main thing was making sure that I had captured all of the relevant areas of detail on each item.
It was something very new for me to photograph but I am glad that I agreed to help as I learnt a lot from the process about using natural light to its full potential. My clients were really pleased with the outcome too which is always great, and I am glad I could help out such a good cause.
