I have always struggled with getting photos that are decent enough to post online, which is the reason none of them are posted. I would absolutely love to be able to take ONE picture and not have to delete it. I believe the Modahahus would definitely be such a great help. Sandra Woerner popspet@comcast.net
That's a very generous giveaway, Pearl, I'd love to win it! Thanks for the opportunity ~ and I will try to get tonight to the presentation, I'm just about an hour away. ~Alicia
Shortly after you discovered Modahaus and blogged about it, i sent off for one ( the smallest) and have experimented with it but I am really looking forward to your presentation this evening . Winning a bigger, better tabletop studio would be an added bonus! Thanks, Pearl, for a GREAT blog, as always. Nahed
pick me!!! I want this so bad.. my shop photography has improved, but this would help me knock it out of the park! I also tweeted this giveaway, follow you on FB and subscribe to the blog. :)
I've loved the Modahaus since you first featured it, and would be thrilled to win one!

Hi Pearl. Awesome give-away. I love Modahahus! I would love to win this. I am a subscriber, I follow you on facebook, and I am going to do a shout out on facebook.
Thanks for the great tips in this article, I learned a lot.
Pearl, that is a really great idea and thank you for having the give away. I would love to win that so my pictures would be better. My blog is http://bleekreations.blogspot.com/ and I'm going to put this on my blog.
This would be a great asset for me. I'm just starting to post my jewelry designs, and I'm never happy with how my pictures turn out. So most of my jewelry I've never posted. I would love this please!
I was just looking at your blog for photography helps yesterday. This is very timely for me. My EXTRA entry is because I'm already a subscriber. And me next EXTRA entry is a FB post.
What a wonderful giveaway! And what an awesome product!
In addition to the great giveaway, I love your blog (I'm a subscriber). I have just begun making jewelry and I get a ton of inspiration from your posts!
I've followed your blog for a while now and the info you offer is very much appreciated. I'd love to win the Modahahus set-up as my pics could sure use a boost. I plan to open my Etsy shop early next year and this would be a such a treasure to me. Love how you have shown what it's done for your presentation of your gorgeous jewelry. Thanks for the opportunity.
What a great giveaway! I am just beginning to sell my jewelry and this would make it easier to look more professional and get clearer pics of my wares. Thanks for the opportunity!

This is an exceptional giveaway and I would love the chance to win one. I have never tried taking photos of my jewellery before, but I bet it's harder than it looks. Susan Samuel shw_samuel@sky.com
Well Pearl - If a Modahaus will help taking photos of my jewelry easier then I'm all for it! I've read before that it's a wonderful product and hearing it from you is like the icing on the cake!
i do make a lot of pictres of jewellery but i always improvise with an piece of paper and mirrors.The result is not bad but this would be so more simple ! I do follow your blog for a while now !
I enjoy your blog a great deal- always something new to learn! This sure would beat my freezer-paper-n-desklamps technique, LOL! Thank you for the great giveaway- wish I could attend your presentation....
This looks like such a great tool. Where I live it is super windy and can be hard for me to get good photos of my products inside. Thank you for the giveaway!
This would be fantastic. So many times I've photographed jewelry and it looked horrible. After multiple tries I would just give up. Thank you so much for the chance to win! Love your articles!Julia Freeman: grinchswoman@hotmail.com
Another great post and giveaway! Since lighting is a major issue with my pictures, this would be amazing. I follow you on FB, by email, and on Twitter. Thanks! Christie charisdesigns@hotmail.com

Wow what a great thing to win to have better pictures of my jewelry. Right now I lay it on my bedspread because the color is gray blue but does not fit into every piece of jewelry I photograph so this would be a great thing to have. Thanks for the chance to win it.
Pearl, I've been dying to win one of these so I should get extra entries for being a subscriber and for posting on Facebook. This is a great prize (once again)!!!
I didn't know things like this existed. I take pics out back with my little digital camera and they mostly look pretty shadowy. I'd love to try this out! Debby wretched2@live.com
I am so glad I came across this article this morning. I spent a good part of yesterday looking at photo light boxes. I'm really happy that I didn't make a decision as the TS320 never came up in my search and its just what I was looking for. Thank you for the great article!
I posted before under Kathy's Kreations and left the following comment but forgot to add an email address. I added it this time:

The articles about the Modahaus studios just keep getting better and better. I would love to win one of these, but if I don't I think I know what I want for my birthday.
OMG! I would just die for this! I make a lot of Swarovski Crystal jewelry and I have trouble with light (even natural light) bouncing off the sparkly crystals. I am just starting out (but made 30 sales since March 2013, Yay!) So I could not afford to buy this right now. Pick me! Pick me! Thanks so much for your give away. Whether I win or not, I think it is a very kind thing for you to do!

I was very lucky to have stumbled on Lex McColl's very first Modahaus tabletop studio a few years ago. It, together with the camera tips this professional shared, has greatly improved my jewelry photography.
[Image]
Modahaus TS320
It's not like light tents which get wrinkly and dirty. These studios not only are wipe clean and anti-static (no dust or hair!) , they are also portable and can be stored flat. The design is clever as the smartcase doubles as the diffuser. It was his very own need as a professional jewelry and watch photographer that led him to create it first for himself and then for others.
I bought the smallest one soon after it was launched. I've gone on to review the steady stands and the largest model, the TS400, in past posts. I recently decided to buy the mid size one - the TS320 - shown in use above. You can see the relative sizes of the TS216, TS320, TS400 below. The TS 320 is a good compromise (between use and cost) size.
[Image]
The latest tabletop studio models, unlike the early ones, now come with 6 advanced polymer background sheets - blue, red, black, grey, matte white and shiny white. This is the principle reason why I wanted the TS320 . Modahaus listened to feedback from artisans who pleaded for black and grey as these are excellent colors for jewelry besides white.
[Image]
Photo credit : Modahaus
The tabletop studios are very fast to set up.It's a breeze to swiftly change the backgrounds. Check the TS320 guide for more information on how to use it. The one great feature about these studios is the infinity curve - there are no horizons in the backgrounds!
For white background photographs using natural light, I find the shiny white tunnel really helps brighten the shot. I also adjust the EV settings (exposure compensation) on my camera and made sure I used spot metering so I didn't have to do much post editing. See links below for photography tutorials and tips.
[Image]
Here is the resulting white background shot I took for a Goody Beads review and giveaway.
[Image]
The plain metallic color also allowed for other colors. The backgrounds can be laid over another to extend the color range. The photographs below show the same heart pendant with blue on black as well as blue on red for purple.
[Image][Image]
Grey is the most versatile colored background color because it will go with just about any jewelry piece. If you are struggling to get white backgrounds to work, try grey as I did for this Goody Beads post photo :
[Image]
I find gold colors and bright brass or bronze designs look great on black as with this kumihimo bracelet from my tutorial post.
[Image]
I tend to take natural light photography. But reader and past featured designer, Heather Botteron O'Cain of BluKat Design uses artificial light for her wonderful pictures. She is a highly productive and hard-working artisan! Not too long ago, she shared this photo of her TS320 in action on Facebook :
[Image]
The clothes pegs keep the fishing line in place for her earrings. She actually uses 2 lamps - the left one (not shown) is a broken photo lamp which she holds with her left hand! She uses a full size tripod in front of the Modahaus and says she doesn't use the diffuser case. Heather sent me one of her original "as is" images of her earrings :
[Image]
It is a wonderful picture as it is but Heather prefers white backgrounds so with some photo editing, this is the final picture that ended up in her Etsy store :

I am giving a presentation at the Grand River Bead Society on How to Photography Jewelry today at 7.00 pm in Guelph, Ontario. Check the website for details. It's free for members and for first time visitors. The society charges $5 for non-members. Check out the synopsis here.

Those look like such a great tool. I especially like the store-flat options. Like many other commenters, I have a hard time getting a "list-able" photo for my items, but the reviews I've seen from the Modahaus setups are all very impressive
October 23, 2013 at 10:49 AM
