How I Photographed This Pink Earrings

Awhile back my wife ordered some earrings from an online store. They are cheap, nothing too fancy and delivery was actually super fast. I was looking at them and decided to setup a photo shoot for it.

I am not experienced in still photography but just wanted to get a feel of it. After all practice makes perfect.

I setup my table near the window for the strong natural light, drew the white curtain to a close to mimic a giant softbox. Large white paper on the table top for a white background and a small white paper opposite the window to act as a reflector to cover the little shadows in the opposite direction.

Put a glass bowl on the table and hang the two earrings at the edge of the bowl. Camera secured on a tripod and tried very hard to make still the two earrings. Managed to get a shot where the front earring does not overlap the one at the back. This shall be my keeper.
