fantastic video. Just what i needed to take my tshirt photos to the next level. Thanks!
Great to hear!
You're an amazing teacher the way you explain how and why! And love the over all message of "Make do with what you have, and get it done."
Thanks so much!! 😊 That means a lot and we really appreciate it!!
instead of the wand you could go to the select option go to colour range and select the background colour, it will be selected and then you can delete it

Woo , can’t imagine how lucky I am for seeing this , I am exactly suffering from this photo stuff as a new e commerce shopper, love it🎉
I like how he talks and produces the instruction video. Easy to watch and learn from. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
DIY videos are the most satisfying to watch. That was just a typical studio.
Thanks Man!
If you're doing it outside, use a white fabric sheet to smooth the sunlight...
For sure!! A sheet works fantastic as diffusion! Thanks for dropping some tips.
@@GoldenPressStudio there was nothing else to tell🤷🏻♂️ great video!
Where would you use the sheet? As a backdrop?
@@toxickistoxic8382 The sheet (something like a chiffon fabric) would be used in between the shirt and the sunlight. The backdrop is separate, most likely paper as shown in the video :)
Very useful tips! In Lr you can also hit the backslash tool ( \ ) for before & after instead of Reset and undo ! Cheers 🙌🏼
Bro! thanks! I don't know why I have been snoozing on that!
This was so helpful for me. I'm just starting to style clothing for my clients and create e-commerce content using their merch. Thanks so much. Just joined the facebook group :)
You're so welcome! It's a dope group with lots of knowledge floating around in there!!!
Hey! Just a friendly tip... In the video, at 15:42 you checked before and after with "RESET" button, but you can do it more easily. Copy-paste from google search, how to do it: "The backslash key [ \ ] is the quickest way to see Before and After in Lightroom. With this approach, you can use a keyboard shortcut to switch between the original and edited photo. On most keyboards, the Backslash key [ \ ] is normally located above the Return or Enter key." I have this button on my windows PC on ET ENG keyboard next to the main enter button. The key usually types symbol '
This was so helpful. I can’t wait to try out these amazing tips!!! Even more thankful for your kind and patient demeanor… thank you🙏🏻
Finally a video with actually explanation !! Thank you for making this
Glad it was helpful!
Great personality 😃 Makes your videos easy to watch
Thank you so much 😀
What's everyone's thoughts in the pros and cons of flat lay vs mannequin photography for casual lifestyle fashion?
The literal best tutorial on this app for this kinda stuff
We appreciate that!
Couple tips:
1 If you do this a lot I recommend going to Home Depot and getting a piece of painted hardboard that is sold as wall paneling. (Looks a big dry erase board) much easer to keep clean and the gloss finish sort of helps get the raw background closer to white.
2 Use the dodge tool set to “highlights” and with the “protect tones” box checked. It should speed the process of cleaning up the background without making jaggy shirt edges.
3 Definitely take advantage of the liquify tools to correct any asymmetry in the layout of the shirt. Making the bottom hem straight, sleeves even, and collar perfect will go a long way to making your product photos look more professional.
4 I if you shoot beanies: Cut a piece of cardboard out in “the perfect beanie shape” and stick it inside the hat. Cuts way down on retouching.
5 There are a lot of good mock-up packs available that have pre-fab texture maps to add realism. We’ve build our own with some of our cut & sew products. Now we have one perfectly photographed template that we can swap fabric colors and graphics on at will. Definitely more work upfront, but less work than photographing 50 different shirts a year and retouching every image.
This video has given me some great advice! Thanks brother!
Glad to help!
Grabbing my snippers is something I've been doin for years now
Awesome video, I could not find the link for the overhead rig, do you know which one is it? Thanks!
Thanks so much! The rig we like to use is a combo of c-stands along with a super clamp from smallrig.
Nice tutorial, thanks for the tips.
Thanks for making this vide0, it was super helpful! And the tshirt designs look really nice!
Thanks so much! glad it was helpful!
Subscribed. Thanks for this video, it's exactly what I needed!
Thanks for the sub!
Awesome video. I see you're using an 18mm lens. Any lens tips or recommendations?
Thanks! My biggest recommendation is find a high quality lens in your budget. We like zooms so you can cover multiple focal lengths.
thank u bro this was super helpful!!
Glad it helped!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS😭🔥💖
Really useful tutorials so far. Exactly what i was searching for
Awesome, thank you!
hey, love this video - wonder if you have any tips for how to photograph a white t shirt where the back print is visible from the front - what is the best way to photograph or edit this so you can’t see the back print? Appreciate any tips ✌🏼
Great tutorial bro
Appreciate it!
Thanks for the motivation hope you guys are doing great cheers ♥️
Thank you! You too!
Very helpful video
Thank you bro
I compared the pictures I took with my iPhone 11 and DSLR and the difference is negligible. Perhaps if you're working for a bigger company then it is needed, but if you're running your own small eBay, depop, and/or etsy store then I do think you could get away with using your smartphone if you have good lightening/backdrop as demonstrated in this video. Also my workflow is faster than if I were to use a DSLR as I'm part of the apple ecosystem and all my pictures are synced up to my macbook.
Great video! They are definitely experts in their craft.
Hey great points and we would mostly agree with you. If you only have a smartphone you can for sure get by especially with good lighting. We definitely prefer to shoot with a camera vs. phone to ensure the best image possible. At the end of the day you gotta do what works best for you!! Thanks so much for the feedback and we appreciate the love!
Good stuff, this a solid video Mai guy
Appreciate it!
Very dope + very helpful
Glad to hear!
Just a thought for anyone who this might help. If you’re creating mock ups to sell it’s better to use a medium or large shirt. I buy mock ups now and but I want to learn how to take my own, which is why I’m here. I absolutely hate that most people only use small shirts. On camera it looks like a kids shirt. And I sell adult shirts. And most of my sales are large and above. It is such a small percentage of people who buy a small shirt. And also the brand of the shirt matters. Not all need to be overly staged or knotted. Bc that limits the target market to only women. I need neutral shots. Another reason I want to learn.
Keep growing i love it
Thanks for the support!!

Thank you
Hey man I’m trying to shoot more photos for my clothing brand, what are the over head lights called 😂😂 I can’t seem to find anything like the one u had
We were using some lights from amazon. I'm not sure which ones they were.
Things to consider when purchasing lights:
1. - Find something within your budget. You don't need the latest and greatest to get great results.
2. - Figure out what you need for your space. Not all studio setups are the same.
3. - Decide what kind of photos you want to take. Flat lay vs. model shots are different setups
Great video I sped it up 1.5
Big 🧠 move right there!
That's a really dope video, thanks for sharing behind the scenes of a photoshoot. Do you find the 18-105 f4 sharp enough for product photography because a lot of people complain it's soft and not sharp enough?
It's not the sharpest lens but I usually stop down a bit for these e-commerce photos to ensure every part of the shirt is in focus. I'm also cutting the background away so i'm not worried about the corners. In my other photography it works great for what we do here. If we need something sharper, we have an A73 with a 24-105 f4 we like to use as well. Thanks for watching!!!
Thank you
You're welcome!!
What is the name of the bracket that holds the camera??? I need it!!!
It is a ball head mount attached to a superclamp
This really helped.
Glad to hear it!
Nice video! I’ve been asked to photograph a clothing line for someone and they have over 40 articles of clothing. I just watched your video and I think I’m gonna be overwhelmed with how much editing you did on that one t shirt. What would you charge if you had to do that for 40 clothing items? Also if the client wants to use the clothing items on their website or e-commerce how do you figure out the usage licensing and all that?
So this tutorial is pretty in-depth so you don't have to do all of these steps every time. Also for most of the shirts you can copy and paste your settings in light room. And then just cut out the background in photoshop. I feel like if someone wanted me to do 10 shirts I would charge $150 - $200. For 40 I feel you could easily charge $300-$400.
I hope that helps.
@@GoldenPressStudio cool thanks for the response!!!
Hi your video was really helpful but I do have 2 questions
1 on your big light what type of soft box did you use?
And do you prefer continuous or strobe lights for flat lay photography?
We use continuous lights because we do a lot of photo and video in our studio.
Great work! What are the light bulbs used for the soft-boxes? Temperature?
Daylight. 5600 Kelvin
@@GoldenPressStudio Thank you so much!
what kid of overhead rod is that and how did you connect it to the light stands?
It’s a kit from Amazon. It had connectors in the kit
@@GoldenPressStudio Thanks! You wouldn’t possible have a link?
very educational
As a photographer, How to charge for the photography service? By number of items? Or numbers of pictures? Or by hourly rate? Thanks.
There’s a lot that goes into that decision, but if I had to simplify it I would say figure out how much you wanna make per hour and compare that to your local market. Mane sure it’s reasonable for both you and your market.
thanks from algeria man
You're welcome!
Great video if you set up the affiliated links for all the gear used in this video is happily help out and the items using them.
That was tasty. Thanks gents!
Appreciate the love!
What kind of lens do you use? I have 50 mm, but I have to be on a super tall ladder to get the whole shirt in frame.
Yea a fifty is gonna be kind of long for this I would recommend anywhere between 20-35mm. If you go too wide it will distort the image. 24mm is the sweet spot.
@@GoldenPressStudio Thank you!
Absolutely!
I did 11 listings in the time it took for this video.
I have a small all white room with a bright ceiling light and no windows. Would you recommend me buying photography lighting? I've taken some good photos in there before but I'm not sure if the professional lighting would help.
I feel like it could work as long as you don't have shadows on the shirt.
Hi! Enjoyed your tips! What super clamp did you use specifically?
Thanks (:
It is from smallrig.
@@GoldenPressStudio awesome, found it!
what is that paper dispensing roller system on the wall? where does one find such magic?
Haha! We got it off amazon.
www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Triple-Support-Mounting-Background/dp/B004G1400A/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=photo+paper+backdrop+mount&qid=1603896711&sr=8-5
what overhead rig are you using?
it's just a C stand with a ball mount on it.
Love the video and info man! I heard you mention your exposure and F-stop settings, but what ISO setting do you recommend/use for this lighting setup?
Edit: Never mind man. I asked too soon. I caught it (800) in your lightroom post-editting. I'm going back now to finish watching. Later man.
Yea man we were shooting at a lower ISO because we did not want to introduce any grain into the product shots. Glad you liked the video man!
thank you bruh 😎
For sure!!
The cover photo makes it seem like you edited the wrinkles away on the computer in which you did not. Also, all of the editing really hampers your productivity.
good videos, even greater mustache
🤙🏽🤙🏽🙏
Dope
Finally saw Luigi's son.😃😄😄😇
Did you guys build that overhead rig or purchase it - if you bought it, is there a link?!
It was a combo of amazon light stands and a super clamp with a pin to mount the camera.
Wat super clamp setup are you using?
It’s from small rig
@@GoldenPressStudio thanks for your answer, I bought one, it works, but... Feels not so solid (and I didn't buy the cheapest one)
Hmmm ours feels pretty good and has worked great over the last few years
The clamp itself is great, maybe I should try the ballhead from my tripod. Thanks for your reply!
Where r u from? u sound like cbum
Why not just use the pen tool to crop out the black background. Seems too many steps for the same results.
Yeah that is an option. There are tons of ways to the same thing in PS this is just the way I like to do it. I also sometimes just hit select subject and do it that way. Thanks for the input though.
What lense did you shoot with? Thanks
For this photoshoot we used the Sony 18-105mm f4.
Where did you get your background screens?
All my desktop wallpapers are my own designs.
nice vid! what laptop do you use to edit?
All our photos are edited on a macbook pro.
How much do you charge for something like this?
We typically charge $100 per item.
What lens did you use to shoot this?
Sony 18-105mm G Lens.
That’s amazing but it looks hard for a single person who is starting his own business 😞
You got this!! Nothing is out of reach friend. You have to dig down and find out how much you want it!!! Good luck!!!
@@GoldenPressStudio thanks for the encouragement 🙏 another question what is the name of the stand where you hang your camera. I know it has a name I just don’t know 🫢
bro i like how u start the video....from scratch..
:u ever shop online and see those pics with a whit e awesome background...we're gonna show u how to do that😂😂
Straight to the point!
Would probably be a little easier to just use a green screen and recreate the steps here then you won’t have to switch background colors mid shoot unless you have a green shirt or product
Thats an option but I wouldn't want a green glow on the product.
What's the name of the brand?
The brand is Checks and Stripes. They are a clothing company we print for. Check em out!!
Thanks for nicely explained. How do you prefer to edit ghost mannequin images? Actually, I've recently found an AI tool named Autoretouch. Need your opinion about its effectiveness.
Thanks! I have actually never messed with ghost mannequin stuff. but I'd be interested to see that tool
literally could have been a 3 min video
Dude you talk so so much damn bro its too long and i wish you talked way way less . Get to the point faster. Steel love you keep it up .get better
Thanks for the support homie
Nah man, it was useful!
Too much talking, not too many information to learn from this video 😏
Make one better then....
