How to create a photo shoot for jewelry and watches

Photo shoots have a Jewelry category for pieces worn on the body: earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, rings and watches. It works like any photo shoot — you pick a product, models, angle shots and backgrounds — with angle shots framed on the ear, the neck, the hand and the wrist so the piece is the subject of the image.

Jewelry photo shoots are being rolled out. If you do not see the Jewelry card yet, it is not available on Veeton yet; this article applies as soon as it is.

  1. Use Create at the top of the sidebar, or open Photo shoots under Studio.
  2. At “What are we styling today?”, pick Jewelry (earrings, necklaces, rings, watches…).
  3. Add your piece as the main product, then choose your models, angle shots and backgrounds as in any photo shoot.

You can also start from the product: in Library → Products, open More actions (the ⋯ on the card) and click Photo shoot. A product filed as earrings, a necklace or pendant, a bracelet, a ring or a watch opens straight on the Jewelry category; other jewelry (anklets, brooches, sets) opens on clothing, as no jewelry angle shot frames it.

The Jewelry tab of the angle shot picker holds eighteen angle shots, each framed so one kind of piece reads clearly:

Angle shot Best for
Ear profile Earrings, ear cuffs
Head and neck profile Earrings, a fine necklace
Neckline Necklaces and pendants
Hand on cheek Rings, with the face in frame
Back of the hand Rings, close up
Chin on hand Bracelets and watches, waist-up with the face
Wrist across the chest Bracelets
Watch on the wrist Watches
Face close-up Earrings, both in frame
Back of the head Earrings, both seen from behind
Head bowed Earrings, with the eyes lowered
Chin up Earrings, from a low angle
Hand at the neck Necklaces and pendants, rings
Lying down Necklaces and pendants, seen from above
Hand on the shoulder Rings
Open hand Rings, bracelets
Hand in the hair Bracelets, cuffs
Hand in the pocket Bracelets and watches

Pick the angle shot that shows where the piece is worn: a ring on Neckline has nowhere to go. The tighter the angle shot, the larger and sharper the piece in the image; on a waist-up angle shot such as Chin on hand, a fine bracelet stays small. Your own angle shots work too — upload a photo framed on the ear, the hand or the wrist and file it under Jewelry (see How do I organize my angle shots into categories?).

  • The piece comes from your product photo. Its shape, stones, metal color and details are reproduced from the image you uploaded, so use a sharp packshot where the whole piece is visible.
  • One piece per product. Each photo shoot image shows your main product on the model. Earrings are shown on the ear the angle shot faces, so a profile shows one earring of the pair.
  • Size is read from the photo. Veeton has no measurements for your piece, so a chunky ring or a long chain can come out slightly larger or smaller than in real life. Use Fix a detail or Edit with AI on the result to adjust it.
  • Aspect ratio. Jewelry angle shots are square or 3:4. With Aspect ratio set to Auto, the images follow the angle shot; choose another ratio if you need one, and the frame then shows a little more around the piece.

A jewelry photo shoot costs the same as any photo shoot image.
