oh man, this is what the good old RUclips used to be about. Soooo goooood, this is what I call creativity. More tutorials like these would be awesome. Thank you for this
I feel this should be the poster video for RUclips. Great quality, informative and addressing real situations with real solutions. Best 14:30min I have ever spent on RUclips.
Skyler showcases the HUGE difference between a professional like himself and a scrub like myself. After watching this video, I realize how much of an absolute amateur I am when taking product photography shots for my Ebay store.
I did a similiar photoshoot for Tartufo products Brand here in Italy. The only thing the client didn0t want was the reflection on one side of the bottles so I put the softbox above the bottles to light the front and label, and with a polarizer filter I removed the reflection of the softbox from the glass. Lot of time spent in post production, but I didn't had the budget to pay for someone to do that for me. Patience is the key :D
Such nice end images! You took their nice product and elevated the style for them. I recently lost out on a bid for a Neutrogena job and have been trying to get my product images / cosmetic shots a bit more polished. Love some of your tips here to help to that end. I am def more a "photographer who knows enough PS" instead of someone with a deep knowledge of PS. Every time I see someone like you who is skilled in PS I see how useful this is...(for most of my bigger jobs I send out my images for RT). I did recently do a bunch of RT on many, many files for a job and by the time I finished I was much more adept at PS.
You are such a talent, Styler - both at photography and at sharing your insights and knowledge with others 🙌 You can absolutely make my day when I tune in to RUclips and discover a new video form you 🤩 Such clever and amazingly helpful content - thanks for sharing 👌As somebody else mentioned (the need to learn) I will be looking forward to see if you share more about also photographing not transparent products (placement of lighting etc.) More about creating packshots + Watching you work in Photoshoot would definitely also be on my wishlist for upcoming content 🌱☺ Best from Susanne
The label swap is clutch. I did this for a coffee roaster years back. That one was a bit easier since the label was only the front and a relatively flat surface of the coffee bag.
Hi skyler, Love your content, I am trying to make product photos of transparent storage containers as my first product photo adventure, please give me some advice on shooting transparent plastic containers.
very good! i can't help but feel using a 3-d software (maybe Blender) and lighting in there would be easier. No dust, Very easy to create consistent light and post production process.
Fantastic video and photos! As a photographer myself, I'm very curious as to what you'd charge your client for a shoot like this, given that these are photos they'd only need once to profit from, for maybe years ahead. Is that something you'd want to share more about? Production fee, licensing etc.
Great video! I’d love to know how you price this kind of work 😊 in Australia I find people don’t want to pay a lot for E-comm but with the amount of work you put into a single shot I feel it Warrants a higher price point! Maybe a video on “how to justify your price to clients” is also needed 😅 thanks for your content 🙌
The "T" is silent in "Pinot" just fyi :) Great photos! Incredible how much extra work has to go into each image to make it look like they do. Hope they paid you well!
Yes. But with continuous lights, you would need a completely dark room so you don't have natural light interfering with your exposure or causing unwanted reflections
How would you go about shooting a dark chocolate glossy leather wallet? I make leather items and have some chocolate colored wallets that I just can't seem to photograph properly. Either the color doesn't show up well or there is a reflection on the glossy surface. Any advice would be appreciated!
I'm just playing it out in my mind, I've never photographed a wallet, but I would place a light modified with a dish reflector or maybe soft box from slightly behind the wallet then use a large white card to bounce that light on to the face. You could move the card closer and farther away to control the richness of the color.
Great video and nice to see you again! You will get much better result with labels, if you don't use the whole label. Actually you see only the half of it. So transform only that part! Sorry, but now the left part is not natural.
You should have talked more details about shooting not transparent products as you spoke briefly and it is not clear enough how you shot them on the black background and managed to look natural on white background, also how you managed to eliminate reflections on the front of the bottles
I don't get it. Did you have to do all that post production, with the printed version of the artwork to each bottle, 62 times? I dunno, that seems like a, well, a hell of a lot of work.
This is a nice method but at this point you could as well do everything in CG. All steps from lighting to label wrapping would be a lot more efficient and consistent. Users can't tell the difference. You can pull it off even in Blender.
Instead of gradient tool, why don't you use gradient layer and keep it editable and adjust without making new gradient every time? Apart from this - great tutorial.
As a product photographer I really appreciate this video. I def know the amount of work that goes into these shots. I have a question. however, respecting your platform I think this Q. should be ask as a direct DM or email. Can you provide me your email or DM that I can reach out directly.
oh man, this is what the good old RUclips used to be about. Soooo goooood, this is what I call creativity. More tutorials like these would be awesome. Thank you for this
Wow thanks! If you have any ideas for future tutorials you'd like to see let me know 🤘
This is fantastic. Would love to see more.

Wow, thanks! I'm all for it if we could convince RUclips. 😊 thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it
The world needs more videos from you! Thanks a million!
Dude, you are good. I'm down a deep rabbit hole of this stuff and this was proper, efficient and smart and easy. Love all the tricks, thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
Man you absolutely rock. Awesome hands on tutorial, instant bookmarked. Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Skyler showcases the HUGE difference between a professional like himself and a scrub like myself. After watching this video, I realize how much of an absolute amateur I am when taking product photography shots for my Ebay store.
This is next level. Just my opinion but this is your best work. Editing was amazing and informative!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it

That's craaazy informative! Definitely can learn tons of things from this. Thank you so much Skyler Burt
beautiful workflow
Blown away. Learning so much
The first time I've seen the video open without the iconic hat!
Great useful content Skyler, thank you.
It's making a come back next video.
awesome! adding in the use of Smart Objects for the labels would cut even more time! The bubble brush is dope!
Very inspiring ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. This video has helped me become a better photographer. 📸

grazie davvero per tutti i consigli. Una grande lezione di fotografia

Thanks! I still have a ton of BTS from this shoot with the opaque bottles, maybe I'll put out a part 2
Great job, Skyler!
Master Hand, no doubt.
👍
Thanks! 👍
Excellent, very instructive video. I should watch this on a daily basis until I remember all the techniques described.
Glad it was helpful!
Sweet video, love these practical real life example videos, so many tidbits of useful info, great job :)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It was a fun shoot, with lots of fun problems to solve
such a great video and the part about the label is amazing. Well done!
Your work is outstanding,and inspiring Vasili South Africa
Amazing work like always! Thanks for sharing your knowledge🔥👌
Thanks!
I love the video! Thank you Skyler!! 💯
Glad you enjoyed!
@@skylerburtphotos absolutely! A great video very helpful!!
This process is insane 😮 I could never… props dude
Wow very informative wonderful to see the process and the actual journey.
always a pleasure to see your videos
Thanks for watching
The label swap is clutch. I did this for a coffee roaster years back. That one was a bit easier since the label was only the front and a relatively flat surface of the coffee bag.
Yeah it sure is a time saver and looks cleaner too
These are masterful! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm in need of a lot more PS education! 😅
Thank you for the amazing techniques and great work !!
Beautiful Video. Very informative, Thank You!
Oh wow!
Thank you for making this video! Great job!
i love your video can you please make a full video about your retouching of this type of glassy transparent products
Genius. I have not reached that level of Ps competency yet though.
Great tips, amazing the setup and the final work 🏂
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this knowledge transfer.
Hi skyler, Love your content, I am trying to make product photos of transparent storage containers as my first product photo adventure, please give me some advice on shooting transparent plastic containers.
Exactly what I do now. Thanks for the help.
Thats great! I would love a few more clients in this area, it's a lot of fun
very good! i can't help but feel using a 3-d software (maybe Blender) and lighting in there would be easier. No dust, Very easy to create consistent light and post production process.
Phenomenal information... WOW!
Thanks!
Excellent video! Thank You!
Very entertaining demonstration 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!

True. Clients want the cheapest price and don’t always justify the better photographer. Sad
Great job and tips as always! Thank you!
Thank you I'm glad you like it
great work !!!
Great insight, thank you.
So useful man!
Glad to hear it!
Brilliant!!!
This is steel 😮
The bubble brush is genius!
One question - isn't it easier to do all this in 3D? 😎
Yeah, I don't know. I'm not knowledgeable about 3D.
The "T" is silent in "Pinot" just fyi :)
Great photos! Incredible how much extra work has to go into each image to make it look like they do. Hope they paid you well!
Thanks for that! I can never say it right. Thanks for watching. It's fun work and I'm really happy with how their site looks now
any tipps on how to get rid of dust ? some plastic bottles and caps are such dust magnets it is crazy
Dude, amazing work truly top notch🏅. Question, what's the ballpark invoice fee💸 for a job like this?
una domanda, pensi che si possa ottenere lo stesso risultato usando la luce continua anzichè i flash? Grazie della tua risposta.
Yes. But with continuous lights, you would need a completely dark room so you don't have natural light interfering with your exposure or causing unwanted reflections
I'm sure you get this question all the time. You lean more towards strobes than constant video lights? I understand with the beverage stuff.
Can you make a photoshop video on how do u edit
How would you go about shooting a dark chocolate glossy leather wallet? I make leather items and have some chocolate colored wallets that I just can't seem to photograph properly. Either the color doesn't show up well or there is a reflection on the glossy surface. Any advice would be appreciated!

@@skylerburtphotos Thank you for your reply! I'll give this a shot. Your videos are very helpful.

I'll try and make another video that covers that more in depth. Thanks for watching
How much would this cost hypothetically?
I don't get it. Did you have to do all that post production, with the printed version of the artwork to each bottle, 62 times? I dunno, that seems like a, well, a hell of a lot of work.
This is a nice method but at this point you could as well do everything in CG. All steps from lighting to label wrapping would be a lot more efficient and consistent. Users can't tell the difference. You can pull it off even in Blender.
Igor Sakharov from St. Petersburg shoots such bottles in one shot without Photoshop and it looks better.
Instead of gradient tool, why don't you use gradient layer and keep it editable and adjust without making new gradient every time?
Apart from this - great tutorial.
Please level out your audio. Great video, but your audio levels are all over the place.
И тут я понял, что не умею фотографировать
