Question 1

What kind of jewellery photography works best on Etsy?

Accepted Answer

Etsy rewards warmth and craft over cold catalog shots: natural light on the metal, a lived-in surface, and detail that shows the maker’s hand. The briefs are built around that handmade feeling plus the macro detail buyers look for in artisan jewellery.

Question 2

How is Etsy photography different from Amazon for jewellery?

Accepted Answer

Amazon wants the piece alone on white with no props; Etsy rewards styled warmth and context that signal handmade craft. On Etsy a sterile pack-shot can read as mass-produced, so these briefs lean into natural light, texture, and considered scenes.

Question 3

How do I show craftsmanship and detail in my listings?

Accepted Answer

Craftsmanship reads through macro detail and honest light: a close frame on the setting, the texture of the metal, the maker’s finish. Several briefs are built around macro and detail frames that celebrate the workmanship Etsy buyers pay for.

Question 4

How do I show scale and how a piece is worn?

Accepted Answer

Scale and wear matter as much as sparkle. The supporting frames handle them, an on-body or in-hand shot for real size and a warm styled still life for context, so a buyer knows exactly what they’re getting. Several briefs are built around these.

Question 5

Do I need a real camera or a studio to use these?

Accepted Answer

No. Each brief is a photographer’s shoot recipe written out in plain terms. You upload a photo of your piece, adapt the brief to it, and ioli generates the finished image on its photography-tuned model. No camera, no macro lens, no re-shoot.

Question 6

What is the difference between a hero shot and a four-shot campaign?

Accepted Answer

A hero shot is one warm, handmade-feeling lead image. A four-shot campaign is four coordinated images that read as one shoot, consistent in light and styling, ready to fill the Etsy listing gallery with product, macro detail, and on-body context frames.
