    Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you guys had good tips on taking pictures of products for an e-commerce site. I'll be taking pictures of jewelry and want to make it look professional. Any tips regarding lighting, camera angles, etc...?
    thanks!

    If it's jewelery, I suggest making a white 3 sided box, or buying one, possibly with acrylic surfaces. And place your products within this box, and take pictures of them inside the box. I found this the best way when I ran a small company a couple of years ago.
