- Using no more than a torch and a plastic bag I’ll show how you can create the look of a high end studio lighting set up.
Studio lighting techniques for visual art still life subjects.
Whether it’s studio flash, speedlight, or strobe, I show how you can produce a high impact visual art photograph with mood and narrative.
Compositing techniques for fine art photography.
Plus, some tips and tricks in Photoshop to help things along a little.
I'll use a Canon DSLR tethered into Capture One to show you the iterations from basic image to completed photograph.
Small LED torch.
White plastic bag.
Canon 24-70mm f2.8 Lens.
Manfrotto 475B with a 410 geared head.
Phase One capture one software.
Brilliant idea! I will use this method from now. Thanks for the fantastic informative video!!!
You're very welcome!
Thx. Simple but effective tools employed
Glad it helped
To me this episode is more than excellent. You did this torch polythene bag lighting earlier in an episode in your kitchen with frost bitten tomatoes. Additionally I learned one use of linear dodge (add) blending mode. Thanks and regards. Have a nice time.
Thank you for the feedback
Thank you. I enjoy the calm, friendly nature of your videos.
Thank you very much!
Lovely. Such an antidote to spend-to-succeed school of photography 😊
Thank you
I've done something, I may say, quite similar coincidentally with 3 apples, but a torchlight blinking & the result was fascinating.
Thank you for your tutorials!
Thanks for sharing!
I very much like your teaching method. It works very well for me. Thank you!!!
You are welcome!
Superb video tutorial! So clearly and patiently explained using "simple" tools. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
WOW! This is just great! Love how simple you make it. I will give it a try soon. All the best from Norway!
Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching.
Thank You Professor, is very illustrative.
You are welcome
Very nice video, I will do some experimenting with my torch this weekend
Have fun!
id like to see more of this kind of lighting tutorial...please..?
There will be plenty more to come. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the very interesting tutorial. Can you tell me which brand of torch you are using?
It was just a generic LED torch. literally anything will do for this. Thanks for watching.
Very interesting, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video..I wondered why your lighting scenario (bag/torch) required movement? Could this look be achieved with a continuous light, perhaps with grid/reflector sand/or a snoot? Shutter speeds will vary to control light or would you accomplish in camera with other adjustments? Video was very helpful to understand the (possible) simplicity of lighting still life photography. Thanks!
By moving the bag the apparent size of the light is increased resulting in a softer light.
The torch is continuous light.
👍
Thank you
almost like a lantern softbox, or would the lantern spread too much light?
That's right, but don't forget limited power from the torch will be spread out further.
A torch led probably does not have the best colour spectrum qualities; would that not be an issue with some subjects?
Yes, as I say in the video, use this method only on subjects that do not require high colour fidelity.
thanks
You're welcome!
Toll...
Wouldn’t a paper bag have make the light softer.
A paper bag may have made the light softer, but it would’ve also taken possibly a couple of stops of the energy. thanks for watching.
Love your videos but that light thingy is called a “flashlight.” 🙂🤓😉
In the UK it's a torch...!
@@CameraClubLive 😀 … And we keep them in the trunks of our cars. 😊. … I really enjoy your excellent presentations.
