Berlin photo studio with softboxes for jewellery photography

Can I send jewellery to Berlin for photography?

Yes. HB Photography photographs jewellery for companies from Germany & Austria in the Berlin studio. Before shipping, we agree on pieces, image types, price, date and return. Packaging, tracking and securing must match the value of the goods. Collection in Berlin is possible by arrangement.

If you are planning the recordings for your assortment, you will find the process and the services at jewellery photography in Berlin.

Professional jewellery photography is also possible if your company is located outside Berlin. Together, we agree on a suitable shipping solution for your products. This includes packaging, tracking of shipments as well as a back-and-back security that matches the value of the goods. This guide helps you prepare.

Before shipping: agree every detail

The Comparison of product images on white background, on-model photos and lifestyle images helps with the selection. Price overview for jewellery photography explains the costs.

Before a package is on the way, we clarify together:

  • which pieces are photographed
  • which types of images you need, for example Product cutouts or On-model photos
  • until when you need the pictures
  • how the return should take place

Then you get a fixed price and know exactly what to expect.

Create a Pack List

Add a list of all the pieces to each package, preferably with article number or name, as they will later be called in your shop. This has two advantages: When unpacking, everything can be instantly adjusted, and the finished pictures can be directly correctly named.

Tip: Before packing, take a quick photo of all the pieces and the packed package with your smartphone. So you have an overview of what has been sent.

Packing jewellery properly

  • Each piece individually: Pack each piece of jewellery in your own small bag or box and label it with the article number.
  • Protect chains from knots: Place chains stretched in a flat bag or thread them through a straw and close the closure.
  • Earrings in pairs: Fix the plug in a card or box so that no one is lost.
  • Protect sensitive surfaces: Polished or matte pieces should not touch each other to avoid scratches.
  • Stable carton instead of envelope: A solid cardboard box with upholstery material protects against pressure and shocks. Nothing can slip back and forth in the package.
  • Inconspicuous from the outside: Do not write "Jewellery" on the package and do without brand logos on the outside.

Choose safe, appropriately insured shipping

  • Always with tracking: So you always know where your package is. A simple letter is not a good idea for jewellery.
  • Checking liability: Package services are only liable up to a certain amount, depending on the type of shipping, and special conditions apply to valuables such as jewellery. Check the terms of your shipping service provider before shipping and choose a suitable protection or a suitable value shipping for valuable items. We agree on the shipping option in advance.
  • Keep receipt: Keep the receipt until your pieces are back with you.
  • Not before the weekend: Send your parcel at the beginning of the week, so that it is not in a parcel center for the weekend.

In the studio

In the studio, your pieces are unpacked, cleaned and photographed. The pictures are then processed naturally. By tracking the shipment, you can see for yourself when your package has arrived.

Return shipping

After the shoot, you will receive your pieces carefully packaged back. We will coordinate in advance the shipping method, shipment tracking and the security matching the value of the goods for the return shipment.
