Very good video on the lighting of the bottles, the Polariser Lighting Gel does make the bottle look stunning. I must give this ago next week... Thanks and looking forward to more videos :)
Thanks for taking the time to produce your videos.. much appreciated. Interesting techniques. I usually use a couple of other ‘go to’ techniques which have solved the usual label issues… flash through diffuser up high(‘ish) and at 45 degrees or flash with a projector attachment. I’ll have a go using your techniques too 👍
I went looking for polarizing filters and found a variety of choices and qualities. Can you nail down the specific polarizing filter gel you used in your video?
I don't have any specific preferences on those. As they are not going in front of the lens where they could possibly affect the image due to poor quality, then I think there is no major difference. I have ordered mine from Germany B.I.G Photo Equipment company but depending on your location you could even ask from your local photo equipment store.
@@martinhallikvisuals Yes, it would be nice. I use older profoto strobes, prior to the flat front surface - at least you have that going for you. Thanks for sharing all of this information.
Let me know in the comments which setup you like the best?
excellent tricks which will be very useful
Glad you think so! Give it a try and let me know how it went.
Polarizing the light, I've never heard anyone talk about this, I thought it was a really cool trick, thank you! 👏👏
Thanks! And let me know if you are planning to use this kind of trick. Would love to hear how it goes.

When you are lighting it from the upper angle, are you then using also snoot to create a spot or you go without it?
@@martinhallikvisuals I go without it.. but do shoot through a handheld diffuser.
Good tips
Glad it was helpful!
Those gold labels are tough in front. A speed light bounced off the ceiling or pointed directly at the subject sometimes works well.
Agree with that!

I think, back in film days, kodak made a light called pola that was to polarize the light.
Just googled it and found it. I wonder why they do not create this kind of universal filters today? I find it very useful.
