<\/p>\nI wanted to write a few lines and share a couple of pictures that highlight the beautiful work of my friend and long time client Jesper Jensen. Jesper designs and makes the most exquisite jewellery in a style that is very much his own. I have shot many pieces for him – the ones below within the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n
Before I begin a job we’ll have a conversation about the piece and share ideas. I am very grateful for the creative latitude that that Jesper allows me in staging and shooting his work.<\/p>\n

These glasses are a one-off design made from titanium. They are incredibly lightweight and very stylish.<\/p>\n
This is a five light setup with the glasses suspended on fishing line which was removed in post. Interestingly the nature of the glass gives it this slight pink edge, which I really like. This final shot is a focus stack of thirteen nearly identical images.<\/p>\n

There is something magical about this coming of age commemoration piece. When I see it I think of the winged keys in Harry Potter so I knew I wanted it to appear as though it was flying. This beautiful soft pink gives it the feminine tone that it needs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Sometimes I get to shoot beautiful stones and gems such as this one. It’s an aquamarine from Sri Lanka and has these extremely unusual inclusions in it. Gem type beryl. A focus stack of something small and wonderful about the size of a very fat pumpkin seed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This bold masculine square cut emerald ring gets a complimentary setting on green hide with the gold and green tones vibrating against each other.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The pendant of diamonds and platinum is beautiful but we should also give props to the handmade platinum chain. Each link hand cut and individually welded.<\/p>\n
Shooting on black velvet and being very particular with the lighting allows it to shine. Literally.<\/p>\n

For someone that is so visually driven Jespers workshop is a rich and detailed environment. I spotted this on a shelf and it caught my eye. I wanted to light and shoot it because of the dynamic shapes and textures and detail even though it’s an unfinished prototype ring hung over the detached bottom of a tiny sized anvil. Phew.. It interests me to look at this picture and I deliberately shot it in such a way as to raise doubts as to the size of it.<\/p>\n
