A reader asks ...

Hello,
I am Alexander of Mexico City, working in the jewelry and I love photography so I want to buy a digital camera to help me create my catalogs for jewelry, both for print and for uploading to the network. I can recommend the best camera on the market to help me meet my needs?

Alejandro:

The first thing you should do is see how much you spend, because it also can depend on the results that you have. One option might be to buy a reflex camera with a macro lens, but that might become too expensive for what you want, but it will have the best results. The other option is to buy a camera easier, but it has the function of macro, but they must find a camera that has the option of manual settings to close the opening and have a greater depth of field.

One of the main problems that we face in the photograph is the lighting of jewelry. Most of the jewelry or metal parts are reflective, which complicates the use of flashes, as they are in the final photo causing unwanted reflections. There are a type of flash called override, which consists of a flash that is around the lens, in SRElectronics have some models. This type of flash can cause the picture comes out flat, without texture. The other option is the lighting to create something that blurring the illumination of the flash. There is a product that is called "light tent" (which comes across like a house of light) that allows blur the flash light. These are often expensive, but there are some cheaper options (you can visit the page CreativePro, where they have ways of making them). The difficulty of this lighting is that the flash can not be in the chamber.

Something that will be essential for this type of photography is a tripod. This is so that you do not have to be accommodating the camera and lights in each photo.

With regard to a specific recommendation in a chamber, said at the beginning is like will depend on how much money you want to invest. Currently Reflex cameras have dropped in price, but the lenses are the ones who are still expensive. In terms of quality, varies according to the kind of impression you want to perform. A camera with a larger number of pixels on the sensor, Permira you make prints larger and better definition. As of this quality can be downloaded for use on a web page.

If you do not want to make a big investment, another option is to talk to a photographer who has the necessary equipment and agree to give you credit for your catalog in exchange for a reduction in the price of the photo session.

We hope that this will be helpful for your project.
