Photographing a watch is never easy. From shiny surfaces to infinite curved angles, to glass over the face, the challenges of shooting a timepiece is particularly daunting.

Which is why we love to do it.

And that is our assignment this week. A perfectly lit, and styled, shot of a watch or fancy timepiece.

It can be a product/still life approach or you can shoot it on someone’s body. Just remember how important the lighting is to presenting the watch as a perfect, high-end piece of jewelry.

Here is a wonderful article on watch photography by someone who owns a watch company. You will learn a ton of great info there.

Another good source for shooting a watch.
