Anything very reflective like that, needs to reflect a bright diffusion source! It's a matter of lighting enough diffusion (or a Melodi) to cover the stubborn angles, best of luck
What a timely video! You've given us a real perspective toward how specular light works, and how to use them. This downtime will be a great opportunity to test your methodology. Thanks so much.

As always Dustin another great video with some fantastic tips. I love how you get these results with the most basic of equipment. Hope you and your family are all keeping safe in these strange times - Nick
Awesome tutorial as always!!! Thank you! I hope you will make that "white porcelain on catalog white" tutorial in the near future... I'm excited to see your take on it...
cool work man. every time you come up with great content that also using entry level gear. Please make some product photography tutorial with light painting technique. Will be eagerly waiting for it.
I'm really enjoying your tutorials. I've tried a few and did this one today. However I couldn't get the fork handles in focus, did you do a composite or focus stack? I'm shooting at 70mm..
Hi there, no I use opaque black acrylic. I have a link in our description our you can sign up here www.subscribepage.com/workphlotable to be notified when we release our acrylic :)
That is a good question, you can shoot 'through' a diffuser (hole in the diffuser) typically with more sturdy diffusion material. But the problem of reflecting the lens back into itself is a tale as old as time, beauty and the beast.
The lighting isn't even across 4-5 pieces. Try doing that in camera and hold a gradient on the background do it falls off to black evenly just beyond the subject. Now do it with 48 piece sets. On film. Used to do that all the time without all the retouching tricks. The art of real photography is truly dead.
I mentioned the reason for that part way through. Don't let it die, share your work at facebook.com/groups/workphlo. I would love to see your work from the 80s or 90s.
@@workphlo No can do, its all transparency, no digital. If you ever saw a Robinsons/MayCo ad from that period, you've seen my work. I did almost all the Brides Magazine and LA Times Magazine work in addition to large chunks of the mailers and newspaper ads. Based on the average number of shots per day and the 9 years I worked there it comes to somewhere between 45 and 85K shots. After that I hung it up and didn't look at a camera for years.

Hey Dustin, thanks for the video. What about very shiny, reflective coper/silver pots and pans?
Anything very reflective like that, needs to reflect a bright diffusion source! It's a matter of lighting enough diffusion (or a Melodi) to cover the stubborn angles, best of luck

Thanks! Will do! We have one episode so far on Light Painting Jones Soda, check that out if you haven't in the meantime!
Thanks! I would be interested to know what keeps the acrylic plate in place? Seems to some sort of attachment to a light stand?
Hi Karsten, we custom made this - sign up here to get notified when we have them available! www.subscribepage.com/workphlotable
Cool
Word
Hi love the video I notice you have the plexiglass on a light stand how do you have this in place. I don’t see it in the product list.
I updated it! workphlo.shop Cheers
Great content! But what if I want to photograph jewelry not angled? a necklace directly for example
I've just found your channel. Your content is priceless 👍 Subscribed!
Thanks so much
can you make a video showing how to photograph everyday items like fruits or something? a deck of cards maybe? flat lay photography?
Thanks for the idea! I'll consider that
I'm really enjoying your tutorials. I've tried a few and did this one today. However I couldn't get the fork handles in focus, did you do a composite or focus stack? I'm shooting at 70mm..
I used a wider angle, which may have naturally helped a bit - though focus stacking is an option. Best of luck Ryan, let me know how it works out.
You're amazing and I love your videos! Do you use 85mm lenses?
Nope! I use a kit lens 18-105mm, here it was around 70mm? w/ crop sensor body. Thank you!
Amazing 😉 dear. Can I use godox V1 only to shoot products?
The short answer, is YES.
workphlo thanks 😊 Does it include photographing foods as well?
Awesome videos.. what camera & lense would you recommend for product photography in 2020?
Entry level gear is amazing, I use a Nikon D5100. You can use anything decent it is all about technique.
Hey Dustin, can you do a tutorial on how to photograph a can? A soda/beer can because they're hard to get right. Looking forward to More content.
Replied in the other video comment, but yes!
Great videos. Would love to know what your camera settings are, lense being used, etc in videos. Thank you!
Camera info is on endscreen! My settings are always around the same.
f/16 ISO 100 1/200s
Dustin - what application do you use for tethering/live editing?
Without giving away all my trade secrets, I use a combo of Capture One with a script to open files as layers.
How do you mount the acrylic piece to the stand?
I custom welded my own solution! We are selling them soon, sign up here to stay notified: www.subscribepage.com/workphlotable
Are you using a 1 stop or 2 stop diffusion panel between the light and subject?
1 Stop, this one is very thin.
👋 Hi, do you use any kind of photo stacking? Thank you for that tutorial! Keep doing videos like this.
Yes I do! Check out our other videos !
Where did you get your acrylic background from ?
We source it locally and cut it to size, sign up to be notified when you can order one here: www.subscribepage.com/workphlotable
Hi. What kind of USB cable do you use? How long? Where can I buy it?
I use a tether tools one, it was expensive AF but try googling your camera and "tether tools" or your camera model and "usb cord"
how do yuo deal with metal scratches?
The patch tool! Though I try to get a subject that is smooth as possible as nothing beats the original clean texture of a product
hi bro.. how shoot a Silverware on a white white background ?
Same thing but instead of a 'spot' make the entire acrylic reflect white. You can also use white acrylic, which we have here: workphlo.ca
Is the black acrylic see through? I only saw clear acrylic at home depot.
Hi there, no I use opaque black acrylic. I have a link in our description our you can sign up here www.subscribepage.com/workphlotable to be notified when we release our acrylic :)
How would you shoot silverware - especially spoons- from the top, without to have the ugly reflections of the camera?
That is a good question, you can shoot 'through' a diffuser (hole in the diffuser) typically with more sturdy diffusion material. But the problem of reflecting the lens back into itself is a tale as old as time, beauty and the beast.
You got a loicense for that cutlery m8?
Haha #UK
dude you should do photography professionally when you get out of high school.
One day! #classof2023
