Great video for those who are learning photography. Too many people are talking too much about buying the latest camera or lens without understanding that photography is more about lighting and compostion than acquiring the latest camera or lens.
Disagree. No! I have to go to Adorama & by an M11, 50 mm APO & some lighting. Ah, maybe not. Let me call Adorama & see what they think.☺ But seriuosly, Except for landscape & sports photography, almost every other genre of photography, more would be gained from purchasing lighting equipment & learning how to use it than a new camera. You have to admit got to love great glass/lenses! I know I do.
I have learned alot from Mark and many of the photographers that represent Adorama channel and store. I agree Mark is an excellent instructor you should check out Daniel Norton he is very good also
It is astounding how much I have learned, and also how much I have accidentally gotten "right", by watching your videos, and those those of a couple others through Adorama. Likely the best resource for the learning photographer.
Hey Adorama/Mark. Have you thought about making this a series? Getting the idea of practicing for "the big game" in people's minds rather than just recreating is powerful. Great video.
Thank you Mark, I had a lot of fun with this assignment. I only had continuous lighting, but still managed to get a nice shot. Thank you for the inspiration and the technical information to try it for ourselves.
Mark - great video. My family couldn't work out where the grapes and apples had disappeared to.....my first attempt was not spectacular but I understand the principles. Will try again. Thanks for all this info. I like the way you teach.
fantastic video! i followed your instructions and got results i never would have expected! maybe that was the most usefull youtube video i ever watched! thank you so much!
I really really LOVE this video!!! I'm actually approaching the still life photography and this video is exactly what I was looking for! I will do more or less your same actions/steps ...even if your Prophoto flash is so professional while mine is just a 150€ flash 😅. Let's see what will happen. I have added you to my preferred channel: thanks!!! ❤️
I certainly don't practice this kind of stuff enough. But it's also one of the reasons that I have multiple foam boards and different fabrics and card stock along with my actual equipment. They make great DIY flags or backgrounds for studio style shots.
Merci pour cette video Mark ...j adore tes videos comme celles de Gavin Hoey . J ai enormement appris sur la lumiere avec vous... Amitiés From PARIS in France
Hahaha Mark! Je ne croyais pas que tu parlais français 😊 Ou tu utilises Google translate. Anayway, if you ever come to Quebec city I’ll be happy to help you with French. @niromtek on instagram.
Very good presentation! There are a couple projects I've planned, and was having trouble setting them up; this helped a lot, and now I can move forward. Plus, it's clearly possible to get fine results without investing in expensive equipment every time. As always, useful information!
I loveeeeee this video!! I am just starting out in Applied Media Program at College. This was a great video, easy to follow along and simple explanations. I am so happy to find this video. I am sure food subjects will come up in my projects....saving your video for reference when it does. Thanks so much. New subscriber.
This is awesome sauce Mark! Thank you very much for this tutorial and suggestions for trying it out ourselves. I hope you continue this series and work up a future episode where by you do this with a model and vintage clothing for another ‘Old Masters’ style edit. PS I hope you pass this video along to your Adorama colleague, Daniel Norton. He will be impressed by how many times you used the term, “specular highlights”, a pet term of his! LOL. Cheers.
Good video, considering that you said this could take hours, I would have suggested using small reflectors, paper/cardstock/etc to bring in light to the fruit.
I absolutely agree. That's the extra credit exercise for everyone at home. Even this simple demo was pushing 20 minutes, perhaps I should create a second video to show adding the front fill with reflectors, etc.

Brilliant! The more I watch the more fascinating it becomes. Really learning how to set up a still life. Thank you
You're a very creative and knowledgeable photographer Mark. But, you were born to teach! Thanks for all of the knowledge you share so skillfully.

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you! I oil paint and interested in still life. And your lesson on this video has helped me very much. Thank you again.

Thanks Mark for a really good set of videos with ideas to help improve my lighting.
Great job Mark like always . Good wording and you are right you can lose that skill . Thanks keep those videos coming 👍
I'm doing this today! Great instruction. I don't know how I never thought of lighting from behind.
Very simple setup and nice fast retouch

almost no furniture But a Leica.. i like it
Man, I have a Sony NEX 5n and I made great photos too. The camera is just a gear. It's actually the person who makes the photo ;)
wow!
Amazing 😉
To eliminate the stand issue you can use a boom and than used a background stand for the background you would just need to position ajust properly.
Gorgeous apartment... from what I can see
very interesting and informative. Thank you, Mr. Wallace
