I had the idea that lighting played a key role, and this confirmed it. This gave me information on how and what to improve my skills with lights. Keep up the great work, Javier.
Really liked the video and the step by step explanation. Would loved to see a shot with just the keylight so we could see the difference between a 'simple' set up and using 8 lights. But overall a great video.
Editor cutting dead batts into the final. Is fire. That dude will never make that mistake again. These are the kind of people ya need around you to truly get better.
Hi, You lost me on the comment... cutting dead batts? what mistake? Please let us know so we don't do it again. Appreciate the comment but wish I knew what you meant. Thanks
Dead batteries. This comment was not a criticism, but just me empathizing with the camera op not having the batteries charged and/or the wrong batteries in the camera during the take. Editing it in instead of reshooting, is an immortalized mistake. I’ve been there. Never forgot to check % before giving the go ahead again. 🤣
@@DamienFinn Totally get it. Wasn't upset or felt criticized. I honestly forgot about that scene. You mentioned "in the final" so I was looking for a mistake at the end of the video. lol. Yeah we actually left it in cause we still had the audio recored separately so we thought it would be funny to leave it in. (obviously at his expense) But yeah, we've all been there. I appreciate the comment and didn't take offense at all. Glad you enjoyed it 😄🎥
in other word, you means that this guy will make people(photographer) go to NEXT LEVEL in product photography. maybe can move you to category: Advertising/Commercial Photographer
Thank you, and you're absolutely right. The video guy was holding it handheld. I've gotten a gimbal after that video. So no more shakey video hopefully in the future.
Thanks for the input. You can most certainly do it like that, and even if you only have ONE light you can do it and do composite in post. The reason I created this video is to show people how to shoot it in one take and how to use modifiers and other creative ideas to shape the light. I even say it in the end that you can do it with one or 2 lights and call it a day, maybe you missed that part. But there are many ways of doing it. This was just my take on it. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@Javier_Hernandez I agree with you ! This is more a professional approach. That’s the best way to shot effectively. I just said that for people who can’t not afford a such quantity of materials. But you right , for professional shooting this is the way ! Good video by the way ! Big up from France 🇫🇷 👍🏼👏🏻
@@zdelight Thank you. Definitely its the way to go. Wow, all the way from France. Thats awesome! Much appreciate the comments. It's how we all learn. Slowly getting back to the tutorials so I'll be uploading more soon.
hi bro, i am Portrait Photographer(Wedding and Graduate Student...currently happy in these Two fields). Fashion-not yet ... I do (summarize) my opinion in this sentence: ##3 Lights are possible to make picture “wow”. 2 Lights are possible too but need reflector. Shadow is NOT REALLY good to enhance product(shoes) for selling, unless in small area.## (Details) below: For me, Javier can use only 3 Lights and still can make a picture "wow" and get FUN like he want. For me to Javier: 1 key Light + 1 Fill Light + 1 Background Light(Gradient Not make it in Photoshop as we are not Designer.... by GENERAL). If you agree with two Light for him, i agreed in this way: 1 Key Light + 1 background Light for Gradient. Use a reflector to Fill the Light. If Key Light, if you suggested him to use #Big Softbox for (Key Light), he needs to put closer enough. The Light will be VERY SOFT with the Lowest volume power. You need to give OPINION to use a reflector with closer distance...if you want to use BIG SOFTBOX. Otherwise, Small or medium size for softbox is VICE VERSA. The reason WHY use 3 Lights like i suggested you in the first place is because, Javier and also a Studio Photographer are NOT "MAKING picture" outdoor in such background like #grass(Foreground) and #mountain(Background) . So they no need to Light the background. Grass and Mountain are not necessary. Its just an example. - Positive Mindset Photographer. Azrul Aimi Photography, Malaysia.
Hi Javier, how are you triggering the Paul C Buff lights and the Profoto lights at the same time? I'm trying to figure this out on my own but can't seem to find a straight answer on the internet. Thanks!
They are being triggered as a slave. I have the Profoto air remote which triggers the profoto lights and the Paul C Buff lights flash as they are seeing the light and go off automatically because of the slave feature. Hope that helps.
@@Javier_Hernandez Thanks for replying! This worked! I can now fire my Profoto and Paul C Buff lights with just my Profoto air remote. Thanks for this advice and keep making these tutorials. I love your setups.
so far from my experience, if you search something via Google, you will mostly gain straight explanation. unless you read blogger Photographers that writing on their own port and so on.
I can do one another video on editing. Just did this video to should how to shoot it and tricks on lighting it. But thanks for the suggestion. I will do one
@@Javier_Hernandez Hi Javier. Happy to see you at this is first meet your content sharing. i am note sure what he means. For me if you just use photoshop to remove a string. it is Professional Result already. i do have put my opinion to you to others in this video/content.
Not sure what your question or comment means. You can shoot product with one light of 20 lights. I did this video to show you how I shoot a product using several lights and how I manipulate them. I have tons of lights and I watch youtube tutorials all the time from other people so I can learn and get ideas from others. So again, not sure what your comment means or what you are referring too. Please explain and I'd be more than happy to answer it for you

@@malikkvines I don't take your comment negative at all. Just trying to figure out what you mean so I can answer you properly. In the description I literally tell you I'm going to use 8 lights to shoot this shoe. If you want to see it done with one or 2 lights, then you can do that on your own and/or there are tons of youtube videos showing you how to do that. But that's really simple and the reason I'm showing you how to do it with more lights and make it interesting. Also you can do it with one light and do a composite photo which is way more technical and complicated. And i believe you are mistaken that youtube is only for beginners. RUclips does not discriminate and there are much more advanced tutorials from other people on here. I'm basically showing you how I achieved this with 8 lights. Also it can be with any type of light. The point of this tutorial is showing you with what ever light you have you can manipulate it and make this style of shoot. I hope that helps.
@@Javier_Hernandez Frankly speaking Javier, i also don't know what he tried to deliver the message to you. Rather POSITIVE or NEGATIVE message such in DP Review Forum also got narrow minded photographer which had been told from my friend. ("Message") that i learned is a ##meaning inside## from APPEAR words rather on texting or verbal(visible). Such as, a woman get mad ! hahaha
@@Javier_Hernandez ok Mr javier, you already made me involved with Heavy Engagement. First of all for this respond, I strongly agree with you that you ACTUALLY want to be DIFFERENT. It is happen to me too when i tried to showing any pictures of mine which i believed were fall under: CREATIVE. We in the same mindset HERE which is want to be different and Create Our STYLE. However for me as #Wedding Photographer and #Graduation Ceremony Photographer, i will keep photos which ##many photographer## do which not STRANGE( i mean, SAME ) or Totally NOT Signature to 1 photographer(Trademark) for certain reason.... You got it? Bro 1 sharing.. I have 1 friend which #most of his photos are SUPERB in Fashion Category/Advertising Photographer who are NOT AGREE that we can create our own STYLE.

(it will happen to others Neo Classical Guitarist after Ygwie Malmsteen die). It's other example. Same~~.
I am new in Product Photography. From my point of view, whether shoes it self or with a model will depend on the Client(if a shot is paid ). We(Photographer) can give consultation to the client if possible. The client will give final decision,The Decision Maker $$$. So INTERESTING will go second priority.
This man be dressing the exact same as the shoe 😂
We are not going to be using 15 lights..... Only 8.. hahaaaa! Great video :)
hahaha
I had the idea that lighting played a key role, and this confirmed it. This gave me information on how and what to improve my skills with lights. Keep up the great work, Javier.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it and were able to learn a few tips that will help you in the future. Keep shooting and keep creating.
Incredible! Can't believe this hasnt gone viral
Making the shoe come to life was the ‘wow factor’
u r awesome just love the last few minutes when u show different lights ..just love that
This was an amazing video brother. Def subscribed after this
Awesome, thank you!
this was dope ....
Subscribe!!!So inspirational

Thanks. Yeah that's good point, I did mention it but didn't shoot it. Maybe next time. Thanks for watching
good video 👏, 1 suscriber 💪
my only interest is how you edit the fishing line out
Stamp tool or clone tool in phototoshop
sorry..i don't get you? fishing line?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very helpful video! I will say the intro scene was a bit shakey to the point it almost felt dizzy.
Thank you, and you're absolutely right. The video guy was holding it handheld. I've gotten a gimbal after that video. So no more shakey video hopefully in the future.
رائع
How did you synch all the light using profoto, and other lighting systems? Overall nice summary
The non profoto lights on set to slave mode. Once it sees a flash, they automatically fire.
You talk too much
Thanks! It wasn't supposed to be a silent movie lol
@@Javier_Hernandez haha. Bro, if he respond for second...ask him to put a link of his PORTFOLIO. I put my watermark too. Be responsible.
Great Job.
Honestly you can do this with only two light ! Background and key light (big soft box). And the rest only dodge and burn on photoshop !!

@@Javier_Hernandez thank you sir!
Great video..
Glad you enjoyed it
Love it dude
Thank you so much
Great use of lighting. Very instructive. Thanks
Thanks for the Helpful video ! Does it matter what kind of fishing line ? Or is there certain ones that hold a good amount of weight on it ?
awesome video
good work brother
Can we see the photo after you photoshopped out the fishing line?
Sure, on minute 10:35 I show it finished. I should have left it longer but I'll know better for next time 😀
Thankyou 🙏
If i would have that much lightswhy would i be here watching tutorial

@@Javier_Hernandez i appreciate you for commenting on every comment
My point was
That most people who come to youtube are mostly learner
Who are new in product Photography
And have one or two lights
So it will be nice of you if you teach us product Photography with one or two lights setup
So we can practice watching you and try to apply same lights that you teach us
Try to go in a sequence show us what we can do with one
Light
Then two lights
So the beginners like me can teach something
By the way my comment make no sense if you already have done that video 🤣
I am going to explore your channel after this comment
