Timepieces
Watch Photography — Eight
Distinct Disciplines
A watch is not just a product — it is a machine. Watch photography requires understanding both its visual aesthetic and its mechanical identity. Each of the eight shot types below builds a different dimension of the watch's story. A complete watch image library covers all eight.
We photograph all categories: luxury dress watches, sport and dive chronographs, fashion timepieces, independent watchmakers, and smartwatches — for e-commerce listings, brand websites, campaign imagery, and editorial.
Our Work
Jewellery & Watch Portfolio
Every image shot and retouched entirely in-house. No outsourcing, no stock photography — only work produced at Three Sixty Plus.

Behind the Lens
How a Jewellery Shoot Actually Works
Behind every finished image is a structured, repeatable process. Here's exactly what happens from the moment your pieces arrive at our studio.
Post-Production
The 10-Stage Editing Pipeline
Each image passes through ten post-production stages. The time each stage takes determines the final price — understanding the pipeline demystifies jewellery photography costs. Click any stage to see exactly what happens.
Diamonds Have Three Distinct Optical Properties — Each Requires a Different Light
A standard product photograph works with one thing: how light reflects off a surface. A diamond does three simultaneous things with light, and each requires a different capture condition. Capturing all three in one hero image requires multiple exposures, multiple light configurations, and compositing in post.
Scintillation
The sparkle pattern when the stone or light moves. Requires a moving point-source or multiple separate point-source lights at precise angles.
Brilliance
The return of white light from the stone's crown. Requires broad, even light from directly above. The "brightness" of a diamond.
Fire
Prismatic dispersion of light into spectral colours — the rainbow flickers. Requires a narrow point-source light at a low angle. Opposite of brilliance conditions.
A single hero diamond image may be a composite of 3–5 separate exposures with different lighting configurations.
Diamond Photography
Why Diamond Photography Costs 3–8× More
The most common client question — answered completely. Diamond photography is not more expensive because of brand or prestige. It is more expensive because diamonds are optically unlike every other product.
Price Type | description |
|---|---|
Plain gold ring or bangle | 30–60 min |
Silver jewellery (standard) | 30–60 min |
Gemstone ring (non-diamond) | 45–90 min |
Diamond solitaire ring | 3–5 hours |
Diamond pavé engagement ring | 5–8 hours |
5-piece diamond bridal set | 20–35 hours |
Loose solitaire diamond (isolation) | 4–8 hours |
Post-Processing Time Comparison
This is where the cost difference is most visible. Every stage of editing takes longer on a diamond piece than on any other jewellery category:
Specialised Equipment — Beyond Standard Studio
Standard jewellery photography requires a camera, macro lens, softboxes, and a background. Diamond photography additionally requires:
-
Diamond point-source light (fibre optic or LED loupe light)
-
Polarising filters to eliminate unwanted surface reflections
-
Black and white V-flat reflector cards for fire control
-
Precision motorised focus rail for frame-by-frame stacking
-
Anti-static brush — diamonds attract every micro-particle of dust and skin oil
-
High Pixel sensor for stone-level cropping without quality loss
-
Zerene Stacker or Helicon Focus for professional stack merge
-
100–150mm macro lens minimum; standard kit lenses not usable
The Prong Problem and Dead Zones
Every prong that holds a diamond casts a reflection across the facets of the stone. In a 4-prong solitaire, this creates four reflection lines across the most visible part of the stone. Removing prong reflections without destroying the brilliance pattern beneath them requires manual painting at facet level using luminosity masks and selective frequency separation — one of the most technically demanding retouching tasks in product photography.
Dead zones — areas of the stone that appear black because the camera body is reflecting into the stone — are the second major challenge. These are addressed either through cross-polarisation at the shoot stage or through multi-exposure compositing in post.
AI tools and automated editing cannot solve diamond photography. Every dead zone, every prong reflection, every fire enhancement must be made by a skilled retoucher who understands the optical behaviour of diamonds. This is why diamond photography pricing reflects the time of a specialist — not just studio overhead.
Focus Stacking Multiplies Both Shooting and Editing Time
A 1ct solitaire ring may need 15–40 frames per hero shot at precisely different focus distances to achieve complete depth-of-field across the stone and setting. A pavé ring with 50 stones requires 40–80 frames minimum. After capture, frames are merged in stacking software, then artefacts — ghosting, fringing, halos at depth transitions — corrected manually in Photoshop.
Additionally, dust removal must be performed on every individual frame before stacking. On a 40-frame stack, that means 40× the dust removal work of a single image.

What "Light Retouching" Means
Background removal or replacement → colour correction for metal tone accuracy → basic dust removal (visible particles only) → crop and resize to platform specification → file naming and delivery. Each image processed in 5–15 minutes, not 3–8 hours.
India's jewellery market runs on volume. A Ludhiana exporter sending 2,000 SKUs to a Dubai buyer needs every piece photographed, background-removed, and colour-corrected — in 48 hours, not 48 days.
A Surat diamond trader listing 500 certified stones on a marketplace portal needs consistent, compliant images — same lighting, same angle, same white background — not individual artistic treatment.
Bulk jewellery photography is a separate service with a dedicated workflow, separate pricing, and separate delivery timelines from our studio and bespoke shoots. Light retouching. Fast pipeline. Platform-ready output.
