May I ask what desk stand you are using for your Mac in this video? I am after something similar for tethered shooting. Another great video too, thanks a million!

OMG!

[@nikhilbendre7316]

Hi Lauren! Thank you for this video, it's really helpful. I've been struggling to tether my Nikon camera to my Macbook Pro and have tried multiple softwares without any success. Any tips or suggestions for this?

❤❤❤

[@riccardoimperato569]

this video is great, thank you. Please could you tell me how do you play live video mode on caption one? thanks =)

[@Graham_Wood]

Maybe a plan view of how the camera, backdrop and strobe are positioned in relation to each other. It took a little while for me to figure it out.

[@MonibTraboulsi]

Hi Lauren, great video i must say and thank you for that ... a small tip though, there is an easier way to open your photos in photoshop (stacked) by simply highlighting all images and right click on them -> Edit in -> Open as Layers in Photoshop. And when your done, you just hit that save button in photoshop and it would be readily available for you in Lightroom to export ... cheers :)

[@LaurenCarisShort]

Thank you so much! I actually learned this AFTER I filmed this video (typical!) but you are correct, that is most definitely an easier way to do it!

[@MonibTraboulsi]

@@LaurenCarisShort a pleasure :)

[@sjmedia_official]

Very helpful, can you do the "hamburger" layers shot as well?

[@momshomemade]

Very Nice. What is the that light source called which is on your LHS in starting of the video.

[@SusanneGeert]

Lovely video Lauren! May I ask what brand the glasses are? Is it from Ferm?

[@Birdsparty]

I'd love to see some tips on your food photography backdrops? 😊

[@edrees6834]

hi, i found your video very informative, could you make a video on photoshop compositing? that would be very helpful

[@JoeCosentino]

Look up flash duration vs exposure time

[@radosawhacia4824]

In Lightroom
-> Select all images You want
-> Right Click
-> Choose "Edit in"
-> Choose "Open as Layers In Photoshop
and You don't need to use scripts to open and stack them as layers anymore ;)
