Hi, my name is Michael Seto. I’m a professional photographer and in this clip we're going
to talk little bit about lens selection for jewelry photography. Jewelry photography is
a very specific type of photography and in order to really do it well, you need some
special life lenses. Let’s look down on this table and talk little bit about some
of the lenses I have here. You got to your basic kit lens that typically comes with any
camera. This is a seventeen to fifty-five millimeter. This often will do an adequate
job but not a great job of jewelry photography. The key lens you want to buy is called the
macro lens. These are specially designed to focus very close up. This is a sixty millimeter
macro lens by Nikon. This will get you a great close up of a piece of jewelry or an insect
or whatever you’re photographing from about a foot away. The next lens we want to talk
about is the hundred-five millimeter lens and that will get you a little closer. So,
if you really want to do some good jewelry photography, remember the lens is important.
You want to get a macro lens. This is going to get you the best image of your jewelry.
