Amir! You're so welcome. Amazing Surfaces are important but you also need tips and tricks that aren't intuitive. I'm glad I was able to provide some with this video!
That tip about pointing the utensils to the next item to direct the eye was like a lightbulb moment for me! That makes so much sense but I had never picked up on it before!
Shell! I'm so happy I could give you a little cartoon lightbulb with that one! That's the thing with styling: it isn't necessarily HARD but it's hardly intuitive. Sometimes you just need someone to give you the inspiration
Wow, this is so, so helpful! I found your company from one of your lovely FB ads, then I went to your blog, then I found your YT channel and subscribed! I'm starting a new Etsy shop for handmade bath and body products and my product photos need to stand out! I'm pretty much a novice at styling, but I do have a bit of an eye for what looks good. I have a DSLR, and I've learned the basics for it. Pls keep styling vids coming! I haven't checked all your vids yet, but an editing tutorial would be great, too! Your videos and blog are so professional and well-done. Ordering some backdrops soon!
This is such a wonderful thing to say and I'm sorry for my delayed reply! I just want to share all the things I wish I knew when I was getting started. Are there any video topics you'd like to see in the future? I'm working on a bunch of new ones right now!
Thank you SO much for saying this, that's an incredibly motivational thing to hear! I'll definitely think about similar topics for future videos - I've got a lot of new ones coming
Great tips thank you. Wish I had thought of this backdrop concept years ago. I a photography studio for 25 years, and this would have been so handy!!! Brilliant 👏
Kimberly! I'm so happy you're loving the Surfaces and that they're a good fit for your studio. Making photoshoots easier and more fun is exactly why I created Replica in the first place. Thanks for all your support
I think it's everyone's pain point! Styling doesn't have to be hard, but it definitely isn't intuitive. I'm so glad I was able to help and really appreciate you watching
@@replicasurfaces all your videos and tutorials are fun,helpful and easy to follow I enjoyed every second of them . I would want to know more about natural lighting in food photography .
Wonderful videos!! I've been binge-watching all day, just soaking it all in. I'm sure I'll have to go back and watch a few of my favorites again. I have a few replica surfaces and they're wonderful but had no idea how to style my products. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it has been a great help.
That's awesome! I'd love to see the shots you create for clients using these techniques. Definitely consider posting them to the Replica Facebook VIP group
Thank you so much, Traci! I'm glad I could help you get started. If you're interested in more styling tips, I have a ton on the website: www.replicasurfaces.com/pages/how-tos
Robbi! I'm so glad your Surfaces arrived and really appreciate your support. Please do try them out and consider posting your photos to the Facebook VIP group so we can all learn from them
You just gave me that AH HA moment! I'm a portrait photographer, but have recently been hand making products and they need to be photographer for social media and my online store! I seriously had NO IDEA how to make it more appealing and this video helped me so much! Thank you for sharing! I'll be trying your tips and tricks!
AH HA moments are exactly what I'm going for! Congrats on the pivot to product creation (I'm clearly a fan of that, myself). I completely hear you on how overwhelming styling can be - it isn't necessarily HARD but it's certainly not intuitive. I'm so glad I could help break it down and make it easier to digest. Definitely post your photos to the Replica VIP group - I'm excited to see them!

Thank you for another instruction on photography! I struggle with stationary and “C”, but diagonal feels so natural and shows more of the products. Thank you again, my collection of Replica Surfaces is growing💗
Good to know! I'll keep the styling tips coming. I actually have a ton in the How-Tos section of the website if you're interested! www.replicasurfaces.com/pages/how-tos
That's incredibly sweet, Jovana, I'm very happy I could help AND sooth. Maybe I should consider a second career in ASMR ;) I'll definitely keep the videos (and voice) coming!

Well you're unbelievably awesome, Jordan! Thank YOU for saying such lovely things and sending some love my way. Hopefully you'll try one or both. What topics would you like me to cover in future videos?
Thank you! Such a fabulous product! Congrats to you! I’m a retired portrait photographer. I sold my whole studio but am doing fine art work with flowers. I have a tiny space and the perfect window for natural light. I’m thinking this might be the perfect answer for me!! I’m tuned in and signed up!
