Glad you shared this because I had not here to fore considered this possibility. I so despise seeing those bright circular catch lights in models (and youtuber’s) eyes that I long ago decided ring lights were worthless for professional photographers.
You should try using a Broncolor ringflash off axis, directionally. It’s a fantastic main+fill at the same time. Would also love to see you make a video testing the Broncolor Satos.
That was super helpful. I was only thinking about that gummy bear shot the other day as I was setting up a macro flat lay, and wondering how on earth you got around the lens-blocking-light issue.
I also like some photos of you that have a clean backdrop with no gradient, but the main light comes in from the left at 45. And not a thing you do, but how to clean up the paper a bit in post. Specialy when you have 2 edges of different pieces.
Thanks! I would like to know why certain types of shots dont work with certain types of lenses. For instance, the shot with the gummi bears, how would it look on a 70-200 tele zoomed in. Maybe a noob question, but thats what i am :)
For some months now, I have literally thought the same idea. Some of my product photography clients so often mentioned the shadow on the front surface of the product made the product label wasn't clear enough to show their brand. It would be solved if I use front lighting as the main light, but of course, since I prefer to pay attention to product dimension to create depth. the front light as the main light is not the best solution. If I want to light up the front surface without killing the product dimension created by the side light, is the ring flash could solve the problem better?
@@TinHouseStudioUK Alright, I've been thinking about that as well. But it's so much helpful when I know directly from someone who already did that. Thank you so much!
Hope you are all enjoying the bank holiday weekend over here in the UK!

Hello mate! I’m thinking of getting on of these for my Canon. Have you compared to the Canon version?

Potentially, but it depends on distance of lens to subject. For small stuff it’s great. For big stuff not so much
