Jewelry Photography, Summer 2011

These photos appear on the web at JCK Online.

Bangles!!! Lots and Lots of Bangles!

Spring is fast approaching and we can finally bare our arms and adorn them chiming bangles! These are the latest jewelry photos that I had taken for Zachary’s Fine Jewelry in Huntington, NY. Also, I have done a lot of photography for print advertising for them last year - most of which appeared in Hamptons Magazine and other local papers. 

There is not much magic to these bangles except a bit of Photoshop cleanup – to achieve the pristine white background and to remove my “rigging.” I had put some tape to keep them stacked.The first photo held up on its own, stacked nicely. The one above needed to be propped. Personally, I do not like the jewelry to be overshadowed by Photoshop effects. The pieces are already beautiful, shiny and sparkly by themselves.

These baubles are real. Made with Oxidized Silver, 24KT gold and adorned with precious and semi precious stones. They will ship them anywhere. Email them at zacharysfinejewelry@yahoo.com

Yes you want them. Or maybe you can get them for your significant other.

The Best Knitted Winter Hat EVER!

I saw this nice man coming into Westville East, Feb 19 at around 7pm. I asked if it was okay for me to take a photo of him because I was VERY impressed at his winter hat! It has an attached knitted red beard as a wind protector for his face!!! Oh the warmth, the humor, THE DESIGN GENIUS.

I could be the Sartorialist.

Summer Lovin' in the City and in the Hamptons (Magazine)!

I havent been updating this blog, but i do have a VERY VERY good reason why I havent. As you can see, my name is now officially longer.

Dave and I got married on June 1 2010 at Roosevelt Island Lighthouse Park. Being a bride is not only stressful, it is also tiring. In any case, I had fun.

Some of the photos are here. Our wedding slideshow is here.

Thanks to everyone who came, and super thanks to Angie Dykshorn of Angsnaps Photography for our wonderful wedding photos!

In this issue of the Hamptons Magazine, I have more photos than our weekly ad. I love seeing my photos come out in the editorials and the table of contents.

That 8-karat gold ring (yes, that's right, EIGHT karats), has also appeared in the JCK magazine. They also did a small write up for the store, and there are more photos there.

I didnt take the turquoise ring photo - but i sure did take the 24KT Gold Necklace (yup, its pure gold!) with rose cut diamonds.

YAY! it really is the summer of love!

Surprise, Surprise!!!

In this month's JCK magazine, I was told by Mayda (the boss' wife) that not only do we have one photo (see previous entry) but TWO!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!

That's MY PHOTO! right above the page number!!! WHOO HOO! i have sent this photo to them a couple of months ago and i didnt think "it made the cut" so i was kinda sad, i really thought my styling of this photo is superb, and im glad that they thought so too.

In any case, JCK magazine has answered my email with regards to the wrong credits. Im just waiting to see that erratum notice in next issue.

YAY!!!

YAY JCK Magazine Editorial!!, Wrong Photo Credit, BOO!!!!

The May 2010 Issue of the JCK Magazine came in the mail today. I was ecstatic. There on the bottom left is a photo that i have taken and submitted to them to be considered for this editorial. (JCK Magazine sends out mass fax messages to manufacturers for inclusion in their editorial. I send one in, almost every time - this is my third inclusion, so far)

Upon closer inspection, I noticed the small caption on the side that says "The Jewelry Book". I didnt give it much thought at first until i realized that they were all photo credits!!! (AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!)

I have never put my name for a photo credit for these product photos i submit, because they never really put any names beside the editorial photos - with the cd, i just send a letter that says the photo was taken in-house. What a huge mistake that is.

I have sent an email to the editors of JCK. I am hoping to get the proper credit i deserve.

Or at least a logical explanation.

Still, I got published again, YAY (sadly, i dont sound too credible. Boo!)
