Merci pour ce partage passionnant. J'aime beaucoup votre humour et votre façon d'être pédagogue sans en avoir l'air. J'ai aussi visité votre site internet, beau travail !
Been binge watching all of your videos this week. I love watching you go through the process on each shoot. Incredibly valuable information...and thanks for presenting it with a sense of humor! 🙌
Thanks for your smart guidance for this chapter of watch photography, if you hadn't mentioned that the reflective blur on the glass needs to be covered with a simple piece of black cap, i would have thought that the flare on the glass of all watches is inevitable. thanks again
Love your teaching style .Just created custom RONAN2 rain cover system. Now I need to shoot my product shots. All black carbon fibre frame and clear windows , so many contours of black areas. Hey, This would make a great video tutorial. Maybe Ronan will sponsor it! So much to do. Cheers, Lori Longstaff
All great videos !!! I can hardly believe my first steps into product photography were a complete mess, a quintessence of all existing mistakes (and some extra), a total absence of process and method, a I-shoot-so-I-get-a-picture attitude. Quite hilarious when I think of it... years later. You put the dots on the "i"s... and do it with tons of talent/skills/inspiration. Many thank-yous, well deserved !
apart from the fact that you're using a Hasselblad with a tilt-shift lens :D but as you've mentioned, you can achive the similar result with focus stacking :)
Another fantastic video with some great tips and tricks. I will definitely be trying some of these out thank you, and once again your presenting style makes for very easy watching. Top channel! 🙏💯
Är det här en go-to uppställning som du använder ofta när du plåtar klockor? Förstår att det blir annat med andra vinklar, men ska man ha den liggandes på bord så är det det här som gäller som utgångspunkt eller? :)
I can not say for sure, have not tested all the 5 TS lenses. I have the old 90mm Canon TS lens and that one works good for products. Probably I would go for the new 90mm TS. If you're shooting with a 1.6 crop factor camera I might go for the 50mm... but probably not :)
I just found this channel and it's amazing! I like how You 're showing this process of lighting the subject, but I feel like You could sometimes also show how You set up proper angle of shot and subject alignment.
@@botvidsson Still not sure how this works? Is this using multi exposure setting in the Canon? And how are you using this to enhance the final shot. Nice tutorial btw!
@@SpikeColgate In this video I'm actually using the Hasselblad Multishot camera. Don't mind the multi exposure, it's a special thing for some Hasselblad cameras. Just takes 4 shots and then automatically stack the together. Thanks!
Once again an excellent video. It's very rewarding to see your videos. The simplicity of its light set is proof that it is not necessary to use a large number of tools to obtain excellent results, knowing the behavior of light the simple one becomes effective. Is that diffuser you're using from Rosco? Do you know the Rosco 3026 model? or is it very transparent? Do you think you would get the same result? grateful
Hi Daniel and thanks for the kind words. It's not Rosco but they might have a similar one. I use Savage, see all info on my gear page: www.botvidsson.se/gear It might work with a regular diffusion plastic. The only worry I have is that the reflection on the surface might not be 100% perfect, but again, I might be wrong. I have the Savage 'Heavy Weight', it kills a lot of light so I would like to try the 'medium', hard to find here in Sweden though...
Man, stumbled across this channel and I'm so glad I did. You sir are very informative and entertaining. Keep the videos coming! You deserve way more recognition!
Love all your videos, really fun and informative. How do you stand the large plexiglass please? I want to do it for clear plexiglass to have white background underneath but I think if I use superclamp it will snap. Thank you
In this shot the plexi are laying on the keyboard stands. I think you can use superclamps, the plexi board is very flexible. (Not sure I understood your question 100% :)
@@botvidsson Thank you, I will try super clamps. I want to try this (skip to last 20 seconds) ruclips.net/video/boD3zQUg5e4/видео.html for clear plexi shooting table with background underneath. Really look forward to seeing more videos from you, always a treat! Best wishes.
Just saw that SARB059 thumbnail and had to go find it on your site. Nice one! Also, thanks for doing these videos, they are informative and enjoyable :)
Thanks, that Seiko shot was made during a watch photography master class I had. Probably I should re-shoot the shot and record a video for this channel. It is a very popular photo, so popular that the biggest watch seller in Sweden stole the image for there web site 😂
@@botvidsson multi shot camera/mode means camera will do the focusing all by itself ?? for the stack ?? and u get many images but the focus is just shifted ??
@@hardyboi1593 The Hasselblad multishot cameras take multiple shots (separate RGB) and put them together to one image with outstanding sharpness and color quality. Nowadays the Hasselblad software Phocus can also do what you are saying, do automated focus stacking. In this video this function did not exist so if I did a focus sacking I moved the focus manually to get the stack.
Martin, I have a question. Is the Savage Translum Heavyweight Plastic, White or Frosted? If you use both, which one do you think is the most versatile?
@@botvidsson Sorry, No I did not get it. Could you resend it to my email? Leon@videoxfactor.com, I'm putting together a studio in my garage it's small about 20' x 14' should work. I love the format and editing of your videos, but, maybe, throwing up some info on screen, about setup or details on a product used in your studio, Thanks! Have a great Holiday Season my friend!
Hi again, I use the white... I think. It's called Savage transom heavy weight. Think there's only one? I want to buy and test the medium because the heavy weight is so thick, kills a lot of light.
Dear Martin, Greetings from Canada. I have a couple of questions. (1) What frame are you using above the watch to shoot the watch? I know you are using Savage Translum heavy, but is the frame a Chimera 72x72" Standard Panel Frame? (2) And if so, did you remove the material and just use the translum as the diffuseer? (3) Lastly, did you use 2 C stands to hold the frame? (I'm almost a coffee supporter, as long as I don't go bankrupt during the Covid crisis) Pat
Hello Pat! It's a Matthews frame, I think I have a link in my Amazon shop, you find it in the description under all videos. I got the frame without any diffusion or black fabric, then I put on the Savage, it's NOT a good solution, it works but not perfect to use gaffa to attach the diffusion. I just use 1 c-stand, the frame has a metal pin that fits into the c-stand arm. Thanks for the support Pat, stay safe!
this man is amazing, and am always learning something new from his videos, come on guys show some love and share the channel, thanks a lot for this amazing videos :D
swedendive Hi, it depends a bit what kind of photos you like to have. Catalog style on white background or creative commercial kick ass style? You can email me directly at martin@botvidsson.se
Hi Stephen, well the should be reflected in the watch but you need to have them at the correct distans. If you have a big diffusion over the watch you can also just place the cap on top of the diffusion. But the diffusion must be very close to the watch so it will cover the whole face of the watch.
Your videos are a wealth of information pal, surprised the robots only recommended them to me now! Jag Tycker om! It would be great to see a video of where you started out and your journey in photography. Thanks again
Good CG is really expensive so it depends I think. Pure and more simple product shots will be CG but when it comes to advanced still life set ups I think photography will stil hang around .
Preventing get lost if installed zoom camera and infrared flash then timed aerial photograph without drone or plane is not hard all we need calibrate sound and light speed then take air photo after flash light and sound out with briefly then the camera lenses open capture sky and zoom out to bring in the ground view from above how large depend on timer set and weather
I could watch this all day! Truly amazing!
Very nice to hear! 😁
I have come back to this video so many times for tips! Your videos are awesome.
Wow, thanks!

It started quite clumsy, but oh man do you deliver in information! Great advice and mentality.
Glad it was helpful!
@ 6:00 i was like "he's gonna do the polarised light trick" and you just put a lollipop on a stick :)))) brilliant as always!!!

What is the app to collect all shoots in one final pic...i want to learn that
You can do it in Photoshop, the one I use cost $ and its called Helicon Focus.
Awesome video! Thank you!🙏🏻
Thanks 🙏🏻😃
I was hoping you'd go into more detail of how you use the flash and how you place it/them
Sorry about that. Hard to squeeze in everything in 10-15 min video. I will do more watch tutorials in a near future.
Thanks for all your videos. But I have one question. Why you did`t use polarized filter to fix the reflection?
Because all can't afford a P.F.
Thank You, FANTASTIC

@@botvidsson thanks!!
Thank you Sir I really learn a lot with your tutorials Sir if you may can you pls recommend some lens for this kind of photography thank you
I always go for macro 100mm on a full frame camera.
Why did you do the multiple shot?
It will make the image super sharp and top notch colors. My camera have this feature so why not use it 😃

would tracing paper work like the transium plastic does? Love your videos.
Hi Anthony, yes a tracing paper will work just fine, the only thing is that it might have a yellow tone to it so make sure to white balance correct.
