Transposure

Over the course of the last six months, I had the pleasure of befriending Mrs. Sophie Shor of Roman Jewelers in Flemington, New Jersey www.romanjewelers.com .  Sophie is the owner and CEO of the company and quite a lady.  She is the sweetest lady and also an ingenius businesswoman.  We were recently discussing jewelry photography and I offered to shoot one of her pieces.  It happened to be a ring, and just in time for Valentines Day!

I figured I would ramp things up a bit and see where the chips fell.  The ring was very pretty and I decided to juxtapose it against a grungy background, in pink of course, just in time for Valentines Day!  I think it works!  What about you?

The project did get me thinking….

What if we started offering high end photography of wedding rings?  This kind of thing could work well in the bride and groom’s album!  Thoughts?

It’s off to Imaging USA 2010!  This year PPA (Professional Photographers of America) has made arrangements with the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee.  I previously stayed at this hotel in 2002 when I participated in the Gumball3000 cross country race, but that is a subject for another conversation…hehe.

Anyway, the complex is absolutely enormous, but more importantly, it is attended by approximately 20,000 professional photographers from around the nation.  The three days are filled with a variety of workshops and seminars giving all a chance to learn the latest and greatest tips and techniques from the industry leaders.  We always enjoy the show as we come back full of inspiration ready to implement new ideas and products into our business.

In the end, this effort benefits our clients, further bolstering their confidence in our abilities and product line.  Case in point, we found a wicked new album line that we will be integrating into our lineup.  If any of the current brides are reading this, and are interested in discussing the possibilities, leave a comment!

Be back soon!
