Light and gold, an art of brilliance and elegance || monomad challenge

in Black And White17 days ago (edited)

As a photographer, I have a special feeling when I photograph gold. Gold is not only a precious metal, but also has many stories and emotions. Definitely, its designer and manufacturer has something to say with a background of a design or something that he has set as a model. Each piece of gold, with its shine and details, can depict a world. When I point my camera at the gold, I try to control the light as best I can to bring out the beautiful details and patterns. This work is like a game with light and shadow. I want the viewer not only to see the external beauty of gold, but also to feel the story behind each piece.
For the beauty of gold photography, I considered single point and focused lighting. This type of lighting allows me to show off the details and shine of the gold in the best possible way. By using focused light, I can highlight certain spots of gold and keep the rest of the image in shadow. This will draw the viewer's attention to the details and beauty of gold

For this post, I've taken photos of a few bangles and rings. Bangles with their special shine and rings with their unique designs can make a wonderful combination. I hope that these photos can convey the beauty and value of gold to the viewer!

In this lighting, I used a flash and covered the light output with snot. I also asked my assistant to hold a prism-like piece in front of the flash to capture a better reflection with the camera. This technique made the light spread in a more beautiful way and created attractive effects on the ring.

In all the photos that I share in this post, I used the same technique and tried to control the remaining light output with the speed and aperture of the camera according to the size of the gold piece.

The next two photos you see are a picture of the same type of bracelet but with two different widths and diameters, which I shot from two different angles.

As you may have guessed, the more I held the camera at a tangent angle to the gold piece, the light got a little darker, and in the next photo, when I raised the camera angle a little higher, more light passed through the camera aperture.

In another way, if I want to say that in this type of lighting, every time I took the angle of the camera a little higher or lower than the desired object, or with a more left or right angle, I was waiting for a new result.

And of course, the type of that piece of gold and its gems, and even the mirror state of that piece and even its chips, might change the levels a little.

Here you can see this change of light in the output reflection from two different angles and according to the chips of this beautiful bangle.

If you pay close attention, you can see this effect in the last two photos due to the chips of that piece of gold and the type of reflection.

And see the beauty of light reflection in this other beautiful bangle.

And one more thing that I have to explain to you, as you can see in the photos, we edited the logo of our friend who came to take pictures of their own gold and intended to have these photos on their Instagram page and do something as advertising.
And at the end of this post, I will share the Instagram page of our dear friend for you. If you need and if you like, you can visit his Instagram page.
I am very happy that I was with you with another post and another interesting photography session and I would like to know the opinions, suggestions and criticisms of all friends, colleagues and artists of this page so that I can use them effectively in my work.

And this was another post and another @monomad challenge that I was with you.

I love you, have a nice day and goodbye until another photo session

Hello @azamsohrabi.
Can you please add the word Hive to the description of this Instagram account, so we can verify it is yours?

Yes, of course, dear friend. I edit in the caption. I had forgotten

I see.
So if you shot it, why are you using your friend's images with hers/his watermarks on them, instead of using your original files?

Yes, you are absolutely right. Because after several photography sessions, I deleted the original files due to the file size of the hard system, and all those with watermarks remain. In several previous posts, this is not the case

For example, in this post, there are no watermarks. These were photographed during the initial sessions
