Thanks so much for that. Yes I'm sorry about the almost copy of the video by Akel but I was half way through mine when I saw his. It's very difficult to find something new to make a video about, so the only hope is to find totally new techniques or do the old ones in a clearer form. In fact , I don't have that many subscribers compared with some who have around 100,000 so I'm just a beginner and mine are 60% over 45, I'd love to get some younger ones. All the best. Phill
Yet another great video, I also subscribe to Akel Studio though I find as a basis, your explainations are easily more simplified yet allowing the photographer to grasp the concept and expand on the technique. I have shot a whiskey bottle (full) with the technique shown by Akel and it turned out ok, yet I will re-shoot it as I now know, where and how to improve the shot. You have a well deserved fan base and long may it last!
Hello! Once again, it has been a pleasure to see another one of your videos. A question that came to mind is if you could use a technique like this to photograph a glass of sparking wine, giving a clear impression of the bubbles. Do you think there are certain background-colours that work best for this - such as either white or black?
Thanks a lot for making these video's Phillip, I learned a lot from you! I have some problems with this technique with a transparent bottle, because you can see the backlight trough the liquid. i found that tracingpaper behind the background didn't work either (maybe because my bottle isn't round but has straight angles. (it's a Jonny Walker). Do you have a tip for these kinds of situations? Thanks!
Thanks Phill for your prompt reply, In my limited experience most younger photographers tend to drift toward fashion, journalism or weddings. (Based on friends in the business both here in Mid Wales and Hong Kong.) I shoot for educational publications destined for the far east, therefore most of my shots are product based and finer details of the shot need to be expanded for. I have science based shoot coming up involving flowing liquids - any ideas? Regard Les.
another great tip as always.. in the time its prob taken you to do that shot the bottle would be prob empty in our house so i cant see me ever getting the chance to do a shot like this lol...
Hi Les, lots of ideas but I'd need a bit more info on what you need to have as a result, let me know and I'll try to give some ideas, you can contact me by private message, through either site , mccordall. followed by com or itchyphoto with the same thing following (no urls) allowed here, you can also upload images for me to see on itchy. Regards Phill
how can i do for wine bottle?? the label isnt translucent but made of paper, and the bottle is dark brown! any idea please? the customer doesnt want to see any reflection on the bottle
Frankly there's a time when educating a client is important, this is one of those times, a bottle with no refections will be a black shape , it's light reflecting from it that shows the bottle, the reflections make it look round , no reflections it will look flat. If it's for an effect, then your best way is to shoot the label then add it to the bottle afterwards.
First thank you for answering that fast nd second point thats what i have done yesterday wirh a tripod and different lighting angles will let you know the result
The bottle is made of frosted glass, my problem is the damn shiny bottles and wine glasses (efficient surfaces). I can't photograph a crystal goblet without reflecting my face on it. :(
It's great to see someone who's done the old school techniques teaching! Glad I found your channel and subscribed! Thanks for the effort you spend!
Brilliant! I always appreciate your efforts for making such informative videos. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with us :)

Simple , a snoot is added to reduce the spread of light to a very small area , a bit like a spotlight but without a lens.
Amazing job - as usual Phill
Thanks
Bill
Good lesson but what was the snoot for? You made no mention of the snoot until the end of the video.
It's a pleasure, glad you enjoy them.

So cool ! Master photography
Well done Phill I loved it.
fantastic tips as always
Yes you would just have to get the exposure dead right, with flash of course.
I understand what you mean now, it's shining on the card top right, just to create an uneven background.

Thanks for the tips (classes), Phill. what camera do you use professionally? Greetings from Brazil.
Wow ...What a secret of the trade revealed, I wonder how many I still do not know, I bet many, thx a lot.
How very nice, not sure my wife would agree though. :))

Good day. dude Greetings from Mexico City
Some great techniques, but I think it seems way flat. I don't get the feel of the depth of the bottle, nor does it seem as appealing as one would want
