Green

Found a tiny tripod but no lightbox. Just a kitchen table and a dirty well worn LV.

That lume shot is fantastic (and so is the quality of the pictures!), thank you for sharing!

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it.
This was a really quick photoshoot, just a jacket on the kitchen island with a watch on top of it.
Not a lot of photoshop either, just some sharpening and color correction. The most time consuming thing here (about 1 minute) was the crown. I shoot with the crown out to stop the watch then I push it back in digitally.

Any photography tips you can share? I try and try and never get anything even close to this - and I'm sure it's not my camera. Until I saw these pics I was convinced it was because I don't have a light box, but through the process of elimination, I think the culprit is my complete lack of photography skills / knowledge.
