Professional mineral specimen photography example

Services

Our comprehensive photography service is designed to showcase your specimens in the best possible light. Each package includes the following core services, ensuring your minerals stand out at earthwonders.com

Core:

  • Professional photo: each specimen is photographed with a white background in alignment with the Earth-modern aesthetic. This gives your storefront a consistent, professional look.
  • Specimen video: each specimen is recorded on video in-hand to give your clients a clear sense for the size and condition of the specimen.
  • Professional caption writing: you provide the locality and any relevant details you want to highlight for each specimen. The professional caption will include the details you choose to add plus additional information on the locality and comments on the interesting features of the specimen.
  • Specimen measurements: each specimen is measured for centimeters and grams; this information is added to the description for the mineral.
  • UV light check: each specimen is analyzed under UV light to evaluate for any repairs or restorations. Any repairs or restorations that are noted will be added to the description for the mineral.

Optional Add-ons:

  • Professional Videography ($100 per specimen): for particularly outstanding specimens, we recommend adding professional videography. This consists of one 360 clip of the entire specimen with professional studio lighting and equipment.
  • Custom Stands ($20-30 per stand, depending on size): custom drilled acrylic stands can be provided for specimens that are suitable for this type of mount. These stands are made of clear wire which is mounted in durable rubber and/or other specialized coatings to give them a softer point of contact on the specimen.
