Even more so when trying to capture the intricate details of a Rolex watch. Regardless of whether you&#8217;re using your smartphone, a point and shoot camera, or a DSLR camera, your best bet will always be to use as much natural lighting as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find a spot close to a window or go outside under the cover of a patio or tree &#8211; or in other words, try to avoid direct sunlight. Watches are often made up of shiny components, such as polished metals and crystals, so it&#8217;s essential to keep reflections in mind. Taking your photos away from direct sunlight prevents washy and distracting reflections on the crystal.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM6819-2-Edit-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Pictures Day-Date Everose Gold Meteorite Dial\" class=\"wp-image-51955\" title=\"Rolex Day-Date - Meteorite Dial\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM6819-2-Edit-1-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM6819-2-Edit-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM6819-2-Edit-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM6819-2-Edit-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM6819-2-Edit-1-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Take Better Watch Photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a quick checklist of things to keep in your mind when you\u2019re taking a picture of your Rolex watch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blurry Images:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If you&#8217;re taking a picture of your watch with your phone, the camera can sometimes focus on the object behind the watch if it is too close, so be sure that you get the focus on the watch. This can also sometimes occur when the camera is focusing on the date rather than the dial of the watch. When the camera focuses on the date, it can sometimes blur the rest of the watch.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Glare:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Since watches are very reflective objects you should always be aware of any type of glare that you might be getting. For example, overhead lights are commonly found when people are trying to take pictures of their watch indoors.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Direct Sunlight:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The sun can be difficult to work with since it will often distort the color of the lighting or can cast shadows or darken other parts on the watch.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if it\u2019s too dark, it may result in blurry or grainy images. Finding the right balance between natural sunlight and shade is important. You can also add some drama to your photos by taking advantage of interesting light, such as a single small window in a room, the glow of a neon light, or a flashlight pointed at an angle towards your watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great tip that doesn\u2019t require any specialized equipment is to photograph your watch inside your car. The combination of surrounding windows and the roof overhead creates a lot of indirect light and makes a perfect environment for photographing watches.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1644-2-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Photos GMT-Master II 126710BLRO Pepsi\" class=\"wp-image-51954\" title=\"Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126710BLRO - Pepsi\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1644-2-Edit.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1644-2-Edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1644-2-Edit-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1644-2-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1644-2-Edit-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Focus on the Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The dial is the first thing anyone sees when they look at a Rolex watch, so it&#8217;s important to highlight it as much as possible. Setting the hands at 10:10 keeps the wording on the dial unobstructed and frames the logo nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking your photo at an angle also helps to accentuate specific features of the watch. Don&#8217;t just shoot your timepiece straight-on, you can also focus on cool aspects such as the crown, bracelet, or lugs. If you have a rare watch or one that has unusual design features, images of those specific details would make for excellent photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1535-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex Images Daytona 116508 Green Dial\" class=\"wp-image-51953\" title=\"Rolex Daytona ref. 116508 - Green Dial\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1535-Edit.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1535-Edit-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1535-Edit-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1535-Edit-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20JM1535-Edit-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Props and Framing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To take your watch photos to the next level, try taking a picture of the watch next to something that&#8217;s relevant to that model or its intended purpose. If you&#8217;re shooting a Rolex Daytona, try photographing it on the steering wheel of your roadster or on the fine leather of the bucket seats. If you dive, surround your Submariner with some of your dive gear. A dress watch might look nice next to the morning newspaper or your favorite cufflinks. Shooting your Rolex on an interesting surface or texture (i.e., bricks, stones, or natural elements such as moss or tree bark) can also help to showcase each watch&#8217;s specific features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to get close; your watch should fill up the frame. If you&#8217;re using a DSLR, choose a macro lens. This will allow you to shoot a closer photo and will produce an amazing shot. A DSLR camera also gives you more control. If you go that route, you should also consider using a tripod to achieve the sharpest images possible, as photographing anything close-up can often be a pretty shaky process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most importantly, just experiment. Taking a good picture of a watch can take some time, but if you follow our tips, you&#8217;ll be well on your way to capturing excellent photos.
