I see a Canon. What you rocking for a film Camera?

Good eye, that was my grandfathers camera. I’ve been meaning to fix it up and put it to use one day but right now it’s just sits on my desk.

Cool 😎, I inherited my Uncle’s Canon AT-1. What model is yours?
Colour and light! I'm just a novice and shoot pictures with my phone, but a background that matches with your watch is the cherry on top of any photo. There's also that thing that photographers call the "golden hour" in the morning and evening when the light is diffused well enough to provide some awesome shots; take advantage of that. Most of my best shots were shot on a cloudy summer Saturday evening.
This picture used artificial light. It's literally an LED lantern with a tissue taped over it to diffuse it somewhat. (Is it ghetto? Yes. Am I a photographer? No. Do I plan to buy camera and lighting equipment? With so many watches out there, do I even have to say no?) Compare it to natural light.
There's more glare, yes, but the lighting is so much warmer and uniform. Note my background which matches the dial a little bit.
Blue and yellow is becoming a new favourite combination of mine. The background is an old Dieldrin advertisement.
Don't be afraid to play around with filters either. I'm far from an expert, but the pink tinge adds a nice '70s quality to this picture.
With enough editing, you can make even a bad shot somewhat usable.
I hope something in here helps!
I was a professional photographer for many years. Truthfully, the equipment isn’t as important as many believe. The important components are the subject, the composition and the light. No matter if you use a $6,000 dollar Nikon body with a $2,500 lens or an iPhone if you get the components right you will capture a great image.

Whoa! Very interesting read.

This one says AE-1 it’s gotta be from the 70s or 80s by the look of it.

I see great phone shots all the time. Can’t quite nail the shot like I can with the Sony A7’s autofocus.

Sony makes great equipment. If that works for you then you should stick with that. My experience shows people usually stick with the camera they start with. Mostly because of the investment in expensive lenses. It’s hard to switch when you have thousand’s invested in a particular manufacturer’s lenses.
One of the best tips I’ve heard is to have multi-height objects in your picture to create depth and interest. I did this for one my SKX photos and I think the results came out great!

That’s a nice shot!

Very true
Use a timer! Mine is set to 2 seconds. Helps keep the camera still.
For phone shooters: clean your camera lens! Good light is your friend. Also phone shooters: shut off digital macro mode, use your telephoto lens, and shoot raw files. The less your phone thinks the better for editing.
Lighting, colour coordination and good angles are the things you should consider for great watch photos
Some examples from my pictures

Very nice.
Play with the light, don't shot on full auto, experiment...
Good lighting, contrasting colors, contrasting shapes (circles against lines), reflections for some sparkle, depth of field helps highlight the important thing….when you hire the right photographer, all of things can be yours!
Whoa! Very interesting read.
Brilliant. Thank you. I’m the same just mess around with my phone and try different things

That movement shot is extra 🔥

I believe they came out in ‘81 or ‘82. Great Camera. The AT-1 is a full manual version of the AE-1 released in ‘77. Beautiful SLR Cameras.
