Competition winner: Kim’s style set for photography makeover

September jewellery making competition winner Kim Styles made this ring by hand. It is sterling silver and has 42 solder joints done without paste, just using torch control, and is set with a large faceted cabochon prehenite.

Kim says she “struggles to get her jewellery photographs to do justice to her jewellery”. So she is over the moon to win a professional photography shoot of five of her pieces by photographer and LJS tutor Matt Cheetham.

Here at the school were are excited to see which pieces Kim chooses to have photographed and the final images, some of which we will hopefully share with you here on the blog.

Meanwhile if you want to improve your photography skills, find out how you can learn from Matt on our one-day workshop.
