    • @danienelphoto
      @danienelphoto 3 года назад +6

      Yeah, that's the one point I disagreed with him on. 200mm on full frame is the go-to in studio. Especially for bottles etc, for the foreshortening effect and perspective effect is lessened. Especially if you're shooting for deep-etching. Most product work I do avoids bokeh in most cases....

    In which cases you would choose a solid color background? and in which cases you would prefer the more natural surrounding as you did in this video. and do you think a solid color background (like a white background) would help to pop the product more?
    And can it be related to the type of product we are shooting?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Peter, short question...
    Love your stye of Product-Photography, but the products you shoot are mostly handsize or smaller... personally I think it would be interesting how you'd handle bigger products (i.e. furniture, an instrument, or something cooler like a nerve gun 😎). I think small products are easier, but unfortunately not always the case ;)
    Would love to hear some advice from you.

That white board will reflect the light off from the window.
