I was literally crying trying to work through a tough product shoot. This was so helpful and allowed me to put myself together and finish the job. Thank you!!!!!
This is one of the most educational series on the mechanics of photography I've seen. I find that this and the others are ones I need to review from time to time. One thing, why not develop a course on product photography. I have and enjoy the food photography course, but my interest lean more toward product imaging.
He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast - Da Vinci. -----Thanks for the good practice and theory!
I really enjoy your videos! They're super informative! Anyhow, I wonder if you can provide a bit of advice for me. I have a jewelry business and I do most of my own product photography, especially the white background types of shots. I'm in the process of upgrading my photography gear to make my life easier (my goal is less time spent in post processing). Since I'm upgrading the gear anyway, I'd like to find a setup that allows me to shoot product photos as well as some simple but nice looking videos for social media (talking head, process videos, etc.). I'm typically good with investing a little bit of money up front for well made items that will serve me for years, but I only have a medium size bedroom in which everything will live, so I can't have tons of gear. If you were to recommend one (or possibly two) lights and parabolic softboxes that would serve both of my purposes well, what would you recommend? Thank you in advance for your help!
Great content JP. Every time when I come to this channel I learn something great to boost my photography skills and that's why this is one of my favorite channels. Love from India.
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm curious to know what camera settings you were able to achieve using those continuous Aputure lights? Do you find that they put out enough light to shoot at/near 100 iso / f8-10 / 1/200?
When you put your cards in to fill, the glossy surfaces show your card. Do you edit those out after, move the cards so they aren't noticeable, or do you not care that they are in your subject matter?
We would remove them in photoshop. Another thing that you can do is to spray your shiny objects with dulling spray if you don't want things reflecting.
You are the best on RUclips at this kind of video. Always. If someone watches this entire series, and then also watches any Tony Corbell video they can find then... well on their way.
Just learned of you and I am highly impressed with the level of explanation and physical examples! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, sir. New Sub!
So happy to hear you appreciate the depth of this video! Really appreciate you watching and contributing to this TSL community. Let me know if you have any requests for future videos.
@@TheSlantedLens I review mens grooming products and allot of it comes in small tins and I have a hard time making that interesting for B role or photo. I also am wondering how you would light something like lather on a shave brush as it keeps blowing out on me and you can't tell what it is.. also lighting for a small area would be nice as well. if you're wondering what I'm talking about check my page and website for what I am getting.. thanks and can't wait to learn more about this from you!
Do you have any videos that show how to light reflective objects with indirect light? So maybe the softbox on white wall to light objects as opposed to it aiming directly at it including fill cards. Thanks!!
Thank you! So incredibly helpful. I've been shooting our products for our site for over 10 years and am just now seeing the greater possibilities using better lighting and more creative light set up- thanks to you! Inspiring!
Great tutorial - like always -thank you. The most expensive camera is useless with out light. Configure your lighting first, which i have not been doing They say thats the first thing you do, which i read some while ago.
Great informative videos. There are not lot of photographers who are willing to share their experience and knowledge with the photography learners. Greatly appreciate your efforts. regards
The Slanted Lens I just was wondering if you had any content on using indirect light to shoot reflective objects. Example: using a fill card to light a toaster or using a big white wall to light a car. So the light would be flagged off from main subject and hitting it by bouncing off something. It was a class assignment. Thanks!

Great to hear! Keep up the good work!
@TheSlantedLens How is this free? This video is still golden after 4 years! Thanks a lot for posting this
You are very welcome! Thanks for the comment!
Wish they had taught this in photography class. Not spending 3 hours editing our own photos each week
Right!!!

That is a great idea Vic. We will definitely consider that.

But when you put the foam boards to the side for light bounce you can SEE it in the reflection. And I don't want to do anything in post. No editing.
Tape the cards together and it will gradate in and out and look natural.

Top light is way more interesting
Top light is nice as well!
Well done and even more well explained. A really useful video!!

Hope you learned some good stuff!
Very instructional video, thanks JP!
thanks for multiple lighting set ups. You cover lots ways of controlling light on products.
Do you have any videos that show how to light reflective objects with indirect light? So maybe the softbox on white wall to light objects as opposed to it aiming directly at it including fill cards. Thanks!!
Why don't you try it yourself ?
That's the way of learning, this is only for showing you direction !!!!
RS I have tried it myself!!
@@adamcolvin3652 Well than you have the answer already.
RS Reread the question.
Disernmination? Is that a new word?

So glad you found it helpful!
