    Lovely photos. NOW. Why is there no milk on those Cheerios? I wonder why you opt for a flash as opposed to a light. Seems like an extra step in guesswork. However, something tells me I’m missing something there.

    Just watched this vid and found it has the same quality as your other vids. This is the former commercial photog and food photog's assistant. If you look at the late 1977-79 issues of Commercial Photography magazine from Japan, you will see how the Japanese food photogs built and lit their sets. Bloody incredible use of diffusion material and lights and very similar to your approach. And observing natural light is very important. Nice work, figandlight.

    How to click sharpe image?

    • @figandlight
      @figandlight  4 года назад +1

      There are many ways of achieving sharp images and this topic definitely deserves a video on it's own. for now, I will say, if you're not tethering to your computer, set your cameras playback magnification to it's largest setting so that when you zoom in to your image on your lcd screen, it will quickly zoom in pretty close so you can see right away if your image nailed focus. and then you can adjust from there. hope that helps and will think about covering this in a future video. Thanks for asking!

Do you have any video or suggestions about that? Thank you 🙏

    • @figandlight

      I think they are too, but I think softboxes cost more, aren't as flexible, and take up more space. A pro to softboxes is it's great at controlling light spill

    3:08 light placement - positioned diagonally (bare light + large diffuser combo)
    4:30 Streaky natural light look
    6:05 Observe how light behaves in everyday life!
