You are are true teacher who is sharing his all lifetime experience and wisdom to everybody. Thank you very much.
Pankaj Verma You are very welcome my friend. Big thanks 🙏🏻
This is an answer for a question from the Premiere video chat: If you are going to shoot product and still life like I do I always recommend regular reflectors with honey comb grids. I almost always use small lights in combo with diffusion materials.
I'd like to know with what tools you've started product photography (more to the flashes), because when I watched your videos, the flashes is like the main key. But then I've found some articlds which do product photography using a mere desk lamp and a smartphone. So I'm kinda distracted wether I should investing on flashes or not. Thanks in advance! Can't wait to see your next project
@@DemOrdreS I was going to say, just for fun, I would like to see botvidsson do a shoot with normal household light sources!
That would be fun, maybe one day!
Hello! Nice videos, thanks. Keep it up! P.S. Actually you don't need to move your focus-point by hands. You can do it by Phocus ;)
Александр Сакулин Yes I always use that function when shooting in multi shot mode, don’t know why I haven’t tried that when focus stacking? Will try that next time. Thanks for the tip!
Great to see you back and another fantastic video 👍👍
Thanks man!
Just found your channel a few days ago. Love the content, photography is pretty pleasing and your absurd sense of humor and editing is just hilarious. Thanks for your effort and your time. Cheers
Awesome, thank you!
Good stuff as always Martin!! Love it! Especially ur coffee cup always in the shots ;)
Haha, for some strange reason the cup always try to sneak into the shot 🤔

@@botvidsson thank you for sharing. Good luck
Martin! 🎊 Congrats papa!
IRONWILL989 Big Thanks!!
Another great video from you. With the reminder: that sometimes less light is actually more light.
I honestly feel bad for everyone who isn't a sub. Guys you are missing something out.
I agree 😀 And thanks Sami!
watching this while you are on 40k subs now and you fully deserve it. You have one more subscriber as your videos are very informative and funny at the same time :D love your humor. fifth :D :D
Wow, thank you so much!
Really valuable channel. Thanks. 🙂👍🏻
Huge thanks for the support!
nice work！ Martin Can you make a video of shooting the red wine bottle sometime in the future? That will be great.
I actually have a wine bottle tutorial here on this channel: ruclips.net/video/XJuW7U-mLM4/видео.html
I am enjoying your work
Glad you enjoy it!
Martin, I am so grateful you are doing this. I started as a youtube and tutorials learner, now I shoot full time weddings few years, I have an amazing time doing my job, but I need to move forward. You are a great inspiration AND PERSON. So thank you very much and you have any beer on me when we meet, probably lifetime to be equal :D :D
Thanks Martin! Great to hear really.
@@botvidsson Thank you, very grateful for your help.
谢谢分享 ~真不错
Thanks!
amazing keep going
Thank you, I will
Great stuff, as always. Glad you returned after this long interlude! A question: do you have any idea of another device that would do the same as your profoto "picolight" (the one you use with the gobos and with a very precise spot)? I know that profoto have it (of course!) and also Broncolor, but we, mere mortals, can't afford that! Doesn't any other company produce anything similar? Ok... you can use cinefoil, but I really would like to have something more on pair. :) Thanks again for every video you post... See you.
Thanks man! Well, I'm not an expert in this area but if I was on a budget I would probably buy Godox/Flashpoint monolights with Bowens mount and then search on eBay for a spot projection (Bowens mount) that takes Rosco gobos. Or, a better alternative would probably be to try to find second hand Elinchrom flashes and then buy the Elinchrom Mini spotlight... not so cheap but WAY much lower price then a Profoto Multispot with a power pack.
@@botvidsson Thank YOU for your input. I had never heard that Elinchrom had anything like that. But after you mentioned, I found out it out (model EL-26420) which is avalialable through a series of vendors. I'll check it out - I already have an Elinchrom to Bowens adapter, so there will be no big deal with this new one. Thanks again.
Great Gustavo, good luck!
Funtastic channel! I love your sense of humor :)
What gradation of Translum you use for a background and difuse. I'm curious which honeycomb is good to highlight the background? ..which ones are the most useful in product photography generaly?
I use the heavy weight, if you click the link below the video to my Amazon shop you can see all the info there.
At the same time I must say that I like to test the Medium, the heavy weight that I use kills so much light.
I probably use the 5° and 10° equally, hard to choose one... maybe the 5°
Thanks a lot!
Hi I love your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a beginner 4 days old hahaha how do you connect your camera into the computer what software do you use and cables please as I said 4 days old thanks this video is for me....
Thanks! Hello and welcome to the channel! In this video I use a special software just for my Hasselblad camera, it's called Phocus. When I use my Canon camera I use the software Capture One Pro, it's not free. It is also possible to use Adobe Lightroom but not as good as Capture One Pro.
I also use a free software from Canon called EOS Utility, simple but works well to shoot into your computer. I think all camera manufactures have free software for shooting into the computer. Then you just need a cable that will fit your camera, for my Canon 5D Mk4 I use a regular USB3 cable.
Great tutorial like always! I noticed that you made the focus-stack manually with your Hasselblad, even if Phocus has a great possibility to make it directly and maybe more precisely with the software. Why you didn't use this option?
Yes, it was very stupid, that is the best way off course 😖
@@botvidsson Fokus stacking manually or with software. At the end only the result matters and that's stunning!
love you
布西森林 And I ❤️ you!
Love your wok!
They are glasses.
A wok is a cooking pan lol
Thanks! 👽
😂
Hay this is what happens when I don’t put the glasses on 😂
Haha! I love woked food!
Is there a more reasonably priced pin spot light out there for those of us that are not at the profoto light kit level yet? Thanks for the vids!
Thanks! Well, I know that Elinchrom have some kind of mini spotlight projection spot/gobo thing, not the cheapest brand though. Also check out Godox/Flashpoint flashes/monolights, they have Bowens mount and you can probably find some projections with gobos on eBay that will fit with the Bowens mount. I must say I'm not an expert in this field.
Remember that you always get what you pay for, higher price - better quality. Good luck!

So interesting. I have enjoyed watching your work. In my opinion, you just created a peice of art from already existing artwork. And you mentioned the word boring with your set of long exposures, I. My opinion, you might try to just ban the use of the word "boring" in your productions. I for the first time ever, used long exposure last night in all darkness with the exception of three candles and one barn door lamp, powered very low and closed nearly all of the way. I don't think that it was so bad for the first try. Besides all of that, I thank you for taking the time to produce your videos.
About the boring part, I think you misunderstood. What I ment was that it will probably be boring for the viewers to watch a black frame for a couple of minutes while I'm doing the long exposure part, I think most of the subscribers would agree. If something is boring I will use the word boring, okay? 😎
Thanks for watching man and hope your shoots will turn out great!
@@botvidsson Hey again, I do truly understand what you meant by "boring". It's your show, and I'm not really suggesting that you create in a way that doesn't suit you process. What I meant, and obviously should have clarified, was that your long exposure teqniques would in no way be boring to me. What I mean is that your filter choices, your timing and choice of aspect could become a lesson within itself. And you could get a refill on your coffee too. You mentioned that you had your filters made for you at a custom level. If you are able to say who made them, will you? When I decided on my filter system, I went with Formatt-Hitech Firecrest. I have had them for months and only used the combined CPL and a solid 4×4" 1.8 density just a ciuple of nights ago, using trial and error up to a final capture of about 3 minutes. It was dark with 3 candles lit and a barn door nearly completely closed, dimmed and slightly covering my subjects. I was happy with the results out of RAW. And noticed no color cast. They do need more opened shadows tthough. I think.
Now that I have finished a short novel for you, I wasn't trying to offend in any way with my statement. I am one of your 5,000 as of just a few days ago, and I beleive that it's time to watch some more of your work. Thanks again!
I understand, when you're REALLY into photography you like to see the whole process. Just like me :)
The think is that I always record 1-2h that I need to cut down, always a struggle.
Don't know what filter you are referring to, I do not really use camera filters. The filter I use to diffuse the light are the Savage translum heavy weight, and those 'filter-frames' I make myself with foam boards, I talk a bit about that in the Dior Perfume video.
I was not offended in any way my friend, I just thought you misunderstood what I was saying, no worries. :)
Thanks,
Martin
Hi botvidsson i have a challenge for u. Would u be able to try a tutorial using small strobe lights which are cheaper using cheap light modifiers. To help out starting product photographers with no expensive lighting like yours?
Hello there, yes I understand that many people start out with speed lights, the problem is that I don't have any, never had. Also, I'm not a big fan of them. They don't have guide light/modelling light (most often) so you end up guessing where to place the flashes, don't like that.
Never the less, if a company would send me some speed lights I could do a tutorial. All my tutorials WILL also work with speed lights, it's just much more complicated.
My recommendation is to start out with 2 used real strobes from some cheap brand and then when you have the budget you invest in Elinchrom/Profoto etc.
Thanks for the tip!
botvidsson im sure u can create great photos with it. Anyway i understand im still a fan of your channel and have been subscrived feom the first day i landed on your site. All the best!
Happy to have you on board. If you're not, you can also become a member at www.botvidsson.se
botvidsson sure ill check it out
botvidsson i actually love your food photos. My kind of shots dark and moody.
Äntligen!
TACK för kaffet!
@@botvidsson det är jag som ska tacka. Jag lär mig en massa av dina videos. Men tack för tacket ändå förstås ;-)
Vill gärna se processen i PS :)
Finns under Retouching tutorials på min kanal!
Thank you for the video! but instead of focus stacking could you use a deeper depth of field? thank you very much!
I don't remember what aperture I used but you could probably push it. In this case the set was kind of "deep" so choose to go for stacking.
@@botvidsson I see... thank you very much for answering!
👍🏼 very google)) 🏆
Big Thanks!
Hey, I'm super new to photography. I'm just wondering why even though all your flashes appears to be orange in the video, they come out to be perfectly white in your shots?
All the flashes have a so called modelling light (a regular lamp bulb), that is the yellow light you see. They are just there as a guide to see how the flash will look like when firing.
I’m confused. Why would you opt to choose focus staking against lowering aperture value…?
Ramzi Shakir Lowering the aperture value will make an even shorter depth of field, I guess you mean closing the aperture/raising the aperture value?
I shoot at f13-16 with the Hasselblad to get the sharpest image. It’s the sweet spot for this lens. Even if I go up to f22 it will still not get the whole image sharp, that’s why I choose to focus stack.
I also like to add, to focus stack is just an option, without it the image will turn out totally fine.
botvidsson yes, my apologies. I meant closing the aperture. But with the specific lens’s sweet spot, it makes sense to choose focus stacking. Thanks so much!
I love your style and work. Just fyi, I’m subscribed and turned on notifications fully. Thanks again.
Ramzi Shakir I mean, focus stacking on this particular image might be a bit overkill 😎 Huge thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
How you shoot long exposure with flash but still have match exposure with your no long expo without change f ? 2nd curtain?
Joe DotNet Yes correct, forgot to mention that. The flashes goes of at the end of the exposure - 2nd curtan / rear.
@@botvidsson thanks..
酒道具
Yes, it is!
Wow！！！Great video！！！ Sir，could you tell me the gobo number ？thanks
I use two actually, do have check later when back in the studio...
@@botvidsson thanks for reply. I really like the gobo you choose，So could you provide some gobo number? I had found many gobos on the rosco website, but most of them are not good.
For the light on the side of the box I used: Glass M 81121 and Steel M 77278. At the same time, double.
M 77278 I use all the time!
@@botvidsson thank you so much
what work did you do with Casey Neistat?
What!? Nothing, did I say this in the video? 😁
I was sure that I’m a good photographer till I saw your channel, learning and enjoying so much. Thank You!
