Above all, you showed us your process in such granular detail that it is obvious why none of us should be afraid that someone can "steal our style". Every bit you give here is a handy tip on its own, and is perfect demonstration that every photographer has a different approach, but must have a process. No one else would have made all of "your" choices. I found this to be an excellent confidence builder - THANK YOU!
And yes, these much more technical detailed breakdowns making me salivate! Lol. (Andrew Scrivani’s book is, “That Photo Makes Me Hungry.” Yours could be, “That Photo Makes Me Thirsty!” 😂
Thank you for diving more into the “why” on this shot, it’s fascinating to get to see what you’re looking at and thinking about in the moment. Hope this becomes a trend or a series, but either way thank you 🙏
What an outstanding photo and thanks for the lesson. I've not seen any other Wes Anderson movies but I have a cinema pass and have seen asteriod city 4 times already. The images in that movie are phenomenal I'm going to subscribe to Disney for one month and binge his back catalogue
This was great. Wes Anderson's style definitely lends well to certain food and beverage commercial work. As someone who's passionate about cinema I've found myself taking inspiration from the cinematography of some of my favourite filmmakers to develop a style for my own work that feels authentic and seperate myself from other food and beverage photographers.
Thank you for this. I am always surprised at the amount of detail it takes for really great product photos. The brief showing of other setups was tantalizing. Feel free to do another video with a bit more screen time for those.
@@TinHouseStudioUK I really appreciate this and all that you're doing. Your honesty and forthrightness has, many times, forced me to reexamine my own habits and motives and make some serious changes in my perspective and retune my intent. I'm a beginner and it's very valuable to get this early on rather than when I'm several years into an attempt at a photographic career and everything is, potentially, falling apart.
Awesome vídeo! I really loved to know about your inspirarion in Wes Anderson. I love his work and how he works with symmetry. Another point that you mentioned and I liked was about the "symmetry perfection". Sometimes I feel that a perfect aligned frame is more "boring" to our eyes than a frame with a small imperfection. I already found myself looking to something trying to figure out if it is perfect aligned several times.
A bit pedantic - I apologize in advance - my understanding is that the diffraction issue is more a function of the ratio to the sensor size than it is the lens itself. The same reason that f16 on a 4x5 has relatively narrow depth of field, compared with the same FOV at f16 on a 35mm. So the medium format back is what saves you here, not the lens. Another great video Scott. Thanks for sharing the detailed breakdown.
Great video!! What is the name of the light that is up high at 45 degrees - I believe you said it's called a "sun light" or "Sim light"?? it's at 4:57 in the video. Thank you!!
Found this really interesting and useful to see the whole process Would be interesting to see how you plan from concept, to sourcing props, food/ingredients, planning/deciding how to light etc. (i.e. pre-shoot)
You are mentioning this in some of your videos. Style is important - "I have a way of filming things and staging them and designing sets. There were times when I thought I should change my approach, but in fact, this is what I like to do. It's sort of like my handwriting as a movie director. And somewhere along the way, I think I've made the decision: I'm going to write in my own handwriting. Wes Anderson"
I have watched and enjoy the aesthetics of Wes Anderson movies but I feel like they’re either too cerebral or I just don’t quite get what the plot is. In any event, I enjoyed your technical breakdown of how to achieve an homage to his style. He is definitely inspirational to me. Guy Ritchie and Quinton Tarrintino have great aesthetics too, in my opinion.
Terrific video but I am confused about the lighting. The setup shows all of the shadows as a result of light coming from the left, but, all of the video shots show the lights coming from the right. Obviously I am missing something.
In answer to what other content I'd like I'd love something like an if doing ... then use ... for lighting modifiers. I'm a noob with some cheap godox flashes who'd love to know what modifiers do what with some inspiring visuals. Or food photography in the style of Anton Corbijn just for the difficulty in imagining how that'd even look.
I am fascinated about how the movements of the lens and the back reduced or eliminated specular highlights. I have heard the trick of using a polariser on the camera and then a polarising sheet on the light causing the specular highlight on the shiny object.

Hey, I recall you had a video where you had a plexiglass material and lit it from beneath then placed the product on top. Was that you?
I love it when you mention f/22 and immediately clarify that there is no diffraction, I’m not sure why but it’s always really funny to me.

Wes Anderson's colors and symmetry are like warm chocolate on me body. I love this style of video, thanks from Texas.
Glad you enjoyed it!

The business stuff is important to hear. The technical stuff is necessary. This is gold. Thank you.
Never thought of shooting a back plate for the caustics. Great! Going to try this as I have been playing with drinks a bit for fun. 😀
Cheers Scott, extremely informative and explained very well........ was good to go through the whole process with you.
Interesting you make it 'slightly off' to make it real - brilliant !
Enjoy this and found it very helpful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing your process with us.
Excellent video. Very useful. More of these would be awesome.
Even videos like “average camera big results” would be incredible.
Ah, a little change of format. Love it!
Brilliant video. I loved this test shoot behind the scenes. This is how I like to learn. More please :)
Thank you for diving more into the “why” on this shot, it’s fascinating to get to see what you’re looking at and thinking about in the moment. Hope this becomes a trend or a series, but either way thank you 🙏
your cadence of speech, with the pauses, is great! you know what you are doing my friend.
Thanks for letting me see behind the looking glass.
Any time!
Wow, this is a different type of video, I like it it's more instructional with philosophical elements.
Thank you for putting this out. Professionalism and experience is clearly displayed here!! Awesome!

Thank you for explaining what goes into making what looks like a deceptively simple image.
Also, I was taught alignment should always be by eye, never mechanically aligned. This video gave some reason behind it.
some really nice info in this video cheers mate
thank you! nice one
Great breakdown of the process of shot construction. lt's the those little imperfections that keep the client interested. 😁
Thank you for this. I am always surprised at the amount of detail it takes for really great product photos. The brief showing of other setups was tantalizing. Feel free to do another video with a bit more screen time for those.
Glad it was helpful!
I know you don’t really push having expensive things but this demo really makes me want a cambo system 😂 👏
I learn something from you, ever, single video. Cheers
Glad to help
I'd love to know more about using technical cameras and shift lenses in product/food photography. Any chance of a video?
Great video as always
Sweet! Thanks
thanks for watching
Nicely done!!! Clean is my favorite way to shoot. Quick question: How do you rate the Godox 2400?
Fun, fun, fun!!!🎉
Thanks, thought id try something new

I love Wes Anderson stuff, interesting. It will probably trigger the rule of thirds etc club. But I think it works well
Fantastic informative video! Where can I buy these large colored papers here in the USA? Thank you.
I love the fact that everything is a tad off symmetrical so as not to look fake, never would have noticed.

Is that the new ACTUS-MV?
Great tips and as always straith to the point.
Yes it is and it’s amazing!

I spy an IQ4 150MP in your studio? Have you upgraded from your goto 5D or is it just a rental for your latest project?
I was just sent it to play with. My pockets arnt deep enough for that beast

Changes the law of incidence without changing the final composition
Do you follow the site Accidentally Wes Anderson? Lots of travel photos in a Wes Anderson theme.
I did do, but seeing too much Wes Anderson can be a bit much 😂
Next up, how to knock the camera off to create prefect imperfect shoot 😄
Whomp
Wezz Anderson?!?
using only the ideal f10 is complete bullshit on a decent lens most people won't notice the lens defraction on f22...
