Foxtail Jewelry

☞ Last week, I shot my first product photos for Betsy, the designer behind Foxtail Boutique. I met Betsy last November through my friend Melissa and when I found out that she had a jewelry line, I volunteered to help her photograph her work. I love all of her pieces, but my favorites are in the last two photos. 

☞ We met up at her studio* in the industrial district, and we used one of her friends' work tables as a background. Betsy brought some props from home and did the styling. We both liked the rugged and rustic look of the work table and I'm glad we didn't cover the stains. The good light didn't last, so we moved everything to the staircase where we shot** a few pieces before going back to the table and dealing with the lower light. 



Notes

* The studio is home to many local artists and you can see some of their work on the workspace's website. I recommend watching the OPB clip. 
** I shot some pieces on film, but haven't had the film developed yet.

    1. Thank you! The designer staged them, actually. She has a great eye, for sure! I'm really happy with those because they're exactly the sort of look we were going for and they're so true to her style.

  2. These pieces are SO beautiful! Great work! Love the stains on the wood, too. I've been wanting to wear more jewelry so I'll be checking their shop out for sure.

    1. Isn't she super talented? I can't wait to work with her again.
      I'm getting one of the necklaces in the second to last photos and can't wait to wear it! I hope she starts making rings soon too!
