How I use Continuous Lighting for Food Photography | Behind the Scenes

  • Опубликовано: 21 янв 2020
  • This is the third and final video in this series where I explore continuous lighting for food photography and in this video, I take you behind the scenes of how I shoot food photography using a constant light.
    UPDATE 9/16/2020: As for the comparison between the picture lit with the godox and the one lit with the fluorescent bulb, I do realize it was unfair to compare them without properly adjusting the white balance on the second photo. Therefore, I'm not claiming for it to be an accurate representation of light quality coming out of both sets of lights. I apologize if it was misleading in any way.
    Other than that, I hope this BTS helps!

    Oh my word!! this IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. NOOO TALKING, GET TO THE POINT, SHORT AND CLEAR AND again..NOOO TALKING tutorial for a beginner like me.. Man the amount of unnecessary (self conversation) some youtubers give is TO MUCH.
    THANK YOU!!!

    I really appreciate the way this was edited for a tutorial: show, don't tell.

    • @smortonmedia
      @smortonmedia 3 года назад +15

      I felt the same way, the fact that so much is being told here simply by showing... it's only an 8 minute video and half of it is silent. I learned more from this than I have from 30 minute videos that are non-stop talking. I greatly appreciate this!

    • @liannaquilong3802

    • @madfinntech
      @madfinntech Год назад

      Exactly, too many "tutorials" are just talking heads, and maybe two seconds of b-roll of the thing where they used four times more expensive gear than their tutorial was about.

    The first 4 and a half mins of this was genuinely excellent stuff. Filmmaker level. No talking, pure action. Loved it and I loved how you sustained that for quite a long time. I'd have liked to have seen you go all the way with it.

    Had to watch this video with the sound off and it’s still a winner. Really appreciated how you built up the scene in real time in a real world way rather than having everything setup already. And again, thanks for the captions since my sound was off. Great job Thank you.

  • @danielleeeee.c

    Video lights may be better, but the same brightness costs a few times more compared to a flash. Also, continous lighting can make for example the model's eyes tired of the constant bright lighting. Also it warms up the air fast. As I am quite a beginner in working with a studio, I am staying with strobe lighting for some time.
    Thank you for the tutorial. It was clear and informative! Keep it up!
