Metal structures and Lips on rings

I really enjoy taking pictures for IED's Jewel Design Exams.

Antonia's ideas about unusual materials. Laser cut metal

A different item for the body: shoulder spike

Gold tone was still missing during photo shooting. The still life pictures have a dedicated colour correction to simulate specific gold plating.

Jewels worn by Antonia show original metallic grey tone.

The second project is the reproduction of Antonia's lips through a complex work of moulds.

Sensual lips with metallic details

The three rings are made of a special resin in two shades.

Antonia's own smile is the main shape of the rings.

Composition on black surfaces help to enhance colour saturation

Some more words on what it means to work with Jewel Design Students:

• most of time there are only few hours to get all the shots
• pieces are prototypes
• There may be a lot of reflections
• the most technical views are shot with Focus Stacking to get maximum details
• no post processing! They get the best from the camera
