This is the true work of the author. This is an example that some customers should see, to know how to value this type of work. Complex, but magical. Excellent video.👍
Daniel That’s what I call a nice comment! Thanks a lot Daniel for the great support! 👽
Amazing and inspirational work as always!!! I love your youtube channel!
Emmanuel Obiri Big Big thanks for your support!!
It’s so incredible to see how much effort, thought, and technicality go into a shot like this. I only have two strobes - can you show how you can do high end-feeling shots with less gear? Please keep up the amazing work!! Love your vids.
Big thanks Kelly! Means a lot to me. With 2 strobes you can do a lot, many of my tutorials I use 2 flashes. This one was a bit crazy with 6 flashes. I will have your comment in mind though.
Great Shoot, You’ve certainly sparked my interest in the way you approach each task in hand, currently binge watching your videos. Thank you for the break down tutorials.
You're very welcome Richard! Thanks!
Thank you for the effort you put into your shots and videos. Very inspiring!
Your support is very inspiring to me, thanks a lot!
Talking about simple lighting setups hahahaha. And don't forget to show your clients how easy it is to move in between that jungle of flashes just to push that hazelnut an inch to the side. Botvidsson, thanks for teaching us on how to think!
Thanks for watching! My new tag line: The man in the jungle of flashes! I like it 😁
Please keep doing this videos, I love all the details you share, thanks for your hard work. 🤗
I will, thanks man!
Really enjoying your videos! Unique and entertaining and full of some great ideas without a hint of hubris.
Really happy to hear that Philippe!
Absolutely amazing work!
Huge thanks!
I absolutely love your sense of humor. Great video as always, I learn so much here. Thank you.
Huge thanks Miki! Now I'm happy again.
Mycket bra material du har här! Tack för du delar med dig!
Stort tack, kul att dela med sig lite av vad man snappat upp genom åren.
I just love all of your tutorials. It taught me alot and i even tried some of your shots. Thank you. Keep teaching. May god bless you.

Thank you man. Really learned a lot from all these amazing tutorials!
Big thank's! Happy to hear that!
I am soo thankful for your amazing work your're showing us. Especially this complex setup gave me a whole new view into product photography. You're the men!!!. Keep up the great work, and btw don't worry about taking longer videos. For me personally, for this kind of setup I would rather like a little bit more into depth how ever light and modifier works
Well, this was the nicest comment ever, thanks a lot!!
Maybe I need to start doing short tip-of-the-day videos on modifiers or something like that, maybe...
Thanks! 😃
Brilliant video, so informative and love your style. The final image is simply amazing. Complicated setup but your explanation and close up of how it looks is very useful and appreciated. Thank you for sharing.
Your feedback makes me want to make new videos. Huge thanks!
botvidsson please keep making wonderful videos. They are perfect.
Hi Martin ! great video. The elaborate setup is amazing. I'm coming to Sweden to spend a week with you shooting product ! Jag önskar !
👍🏻

That was super cool, except for the tropical heat in your studio ;) I have enjoyed watching your videos over the last few days and I'm looking forward to the car shoot. Thanks!
Thanks a lot Marcel! I hope the car shoot will come up soon, a lot of stuff to be fixed though...
I'm really enjoying your channel. Old videos and new. Great content. Greetings from Canada.
Happy to hear that Sam!
Been nice to see the final for a dozen seconds or so at the end. Stay cool (in every way!)
Yes, the new videos have longer endings BUT... you can always hit paus yeah :)
So Informational and funny to watch! Take us with you outside in your world too!
I will! Thanks Jacob!

I hope you keep on doing this. you are teaching a lot of people
Wow, Philippines! Nice you could drop by and thanks for the support.
Makes me happy you learn some from my videos, that's what it's all about.

Wow, thanks! I live in Stockholm, Sweden.
Hi Martin. First, thanks for showing my daughter's photo. Second, and more import, great video, as always. Complex setup, but it's nice to see how you planned and executed such photo. Thanks for your video!
Gustavo my man! Big thanks as always.
Great video
Big thanks AGAIN!

Thank you sir!
All your video Should have 15 million + vieuws and subscribers you are a legend and My inspiration thankyou for what you are doing im 20 years old and im a beginner and your My inspiration #legend
Wow, thanks man! Happy if you can take some tips from my videos, that is the plan.
Gorgeous tutorials! But the best coffee is that coffee that is grown, harvested and packaged in the Dominican Republic - Monte Alto coffee Organico!
I believe you. Thanks!
Nonsense! the best coffee is kenyan, followed by Colombian.
@@elizabethmacharia9786 But the best whisky is from Islay. 😃
I am a graphic designer, and I thought the way you set up the all settings there is very similar to what the graphic designers do on the screen. You are a great photographer and a designer at the same time! !
That makes me very happy to hear. I love graphic design. Actually, I use to design artist CD sleeves for the major record labels before I became a photographer. 😁
@@botvidsson Wow that is why!! I really think the basic ideas of graphic design can be powerful in many creative field!
The final shot: www.botvidsson.se/stillife/2018/8/5/laphroaig-cairdeas
👍🏻
Amazing as always! how is the process to develop the idea in the art direction? why is everything in that possition and not other? like the angle of shoot or the way that you frame the picture?
Thanks Hernando! I can't really answer why I set it up like I did, if that's what you mean.
I did not start with this set up, it took many hours before I got to this. One good way to get started is to focus on one thing and try to build up the set around it. I started with the two oak planks, first I placed it straight on the floor and was planning to shoot in 45 degree angle down, did not like it so I put them in the air. From experience I know bottles look nice when they are back lit so that was the next step, to set a flash from behind. Then just adding stuff like the tub and so on.
For som people, like pro set designers, they just have the eye for this so they will do it very fast, after all it's all they do all day long. 👽
You are you just like my God father I watch your videos every day thanks for corporate for everyone
I am a graphic Designer and my first love is photography
I am 55 years old
Lovely to hear. Thanks! 👽
You are very cool
No, YOU are! Thanks for watching!
97-Degrees F? In West Texas, that is referred to as a "Cold Wave"! Great video!
John Dikmen 🤣 Cold wave! What I forgot to say - INSIDE the studio it was 113 degrees!!! This year in Sweden it was the hottest summer in 260 years... thanks for watching!
Hi Martin! I like your videos. I like the perfection and your way speaking about it. Most I like your creativity that shows the items esthetic and dramatic as if you would tell an exciting story. So some wishes/purposes for new fotos: As I find posing models and food fotos same senseless I would be curious to see an usual model-pose spiced with some creative, story-telling sense. Or some food that shows the procedure of cooking. Last wish: What would a beautiful violin look like, if it is shot more interesting than in sotheby´s catalogue?
Amazed greetings from Vienna!
Big thanks again for the kind words Roland. Yes, a model in a create way in a still life scenario is a great idea!
We'll have to see if I can get hold of a violin, I know my office neighbour is a pro cello player so... maybe 😉
That´s great news. I´m looking forward to it.
Hi, amazing episode! Great work. Maybe little bit out of topic, but could you please tell which tripod and head you use for product photography especially to shoot from above? Do.you use the same for stills and video? Thanks
Please see my other reply
Wow amazing tutorial... do you think its possible to recreate with one flash and composites of multiple shots. Maybe ill attempt it awesome vid again.
Nicholas Harricharan Thanks. Absolutely no problem to do a composite. For this shot I would start with the flash at the back doing the smoke action. Then just walk around the scene and put some light on the peach, tube, apricots, nuts and the label. 5-6 photos and then put them together in photoshop, 5 min job.
Good luck and thanks again for the support Nicholas.
Dit arbejde er fantastisk! Where would you suggest a beginning product photograper/Videographer looks for client's, or perhaps put a portfolio, from a fellow Scandinavian 😅😉
Hej Kasper! It's a very good question and also a hard one. All I know is that you need to have killer photos/videos and then you have to spread them everywhere so people/clients know you exist.
If you're just starting up I would contact the local stores/businesses and offer them to create brand boosting photos/videos for there website/social media. Be honest, tell them you're new in the business and have a great passion and can offer them a great start up collab. discount. Great if you have a few personal project in your portfolio you can show them.
When you got your first client it will help you get the next client.
Good luck!
/Martin
I appreciate your reply mange tak.
I learn a lot whit all off your videos and you have amazing flow for teaching, thank you a lot, i appreciate so fucking much your hard work for share all your wisdom .
Great to hear, thanks a million!
Great video! What flash did you get the DedoLight projector to fit on?
It's the Profoto Multispot, and the Dedolight attachment is made for that flash. Probably not possible to buy nowadays. Very expensive solution. profoto.com/se/products/lights/studio-packs/special-effect-lights/multispot
Thanks!
Very complicated and professional. Thanks
Is there is any cheeper product to replace the profoto multispot?
Do you mean a solution with another flash brand? Or for Profoto?
Hi and thanks!
I use the Profoto Multispot with the optical Dedolight attachment and buy gobos from Rosco. Don't know if it's possible to buy this solution anymore. Profoto used to make a more economical product called Profoto Spot Small but I can not find it on there site.
Another solution, I have not tested, is the Strobepro optical snoot kit strobepro.com/products/strobepro-optical-snoot
You can attach to Profoto, Bowens, Elinchrome... and you use a Canon lens attached... do not know how good it works but it looks interesting.
Thanks for you detailed answer. And above all thanks for your valuable time Bodvidsson.
Great Videos Martin! I use Profoto and I was wondering about the snoot in this video, it seems like a nice size, I bought some from a popular online supplier and they are very small...Do you mind letting me know the brand of the one you are using in this video?
I have a link under almost all videos that goes to my Amazon store, you can find it there. If there's no link under this video go to the latest uploads. I don't remember the name, some Chinese stuff I think.
Great vídeo. So, I tried to use a flash through a window with an orange gel and a snoot to mimic sun set, but it turned the entire photo yellow. Then I added a soft box behind the subject but it just didn't look right 😔. I'm trying to make a photo where my daughter is reading a book though a window in sunset. Thanks!
Very hard to get a grip on this, maybe you have a photo you can show me? Send it via Instagram
You are great teacher I'm from India 🇮🇳 lots of love thank you for all your support, techniques , videos thank you for everything 😊😊🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️ my name - avinash masal
Thank you very much, very kind! 😄
Hi Martin! Just a quick technical question. Can you share the brand of gels you're using with D2s? I'm amazed modeling light doesn't melt them.
It's just regular CTO from Rosco, I have them in my shop www.amazon.com/dp/B000CHR0QS/?ref=exp_botvidsson_lv_dp_vv_d
It works fine when I place them outside the zoom reflector with the grid. Think the power of the modelling light is turned down a bit also :)
@@botvidsson Thanks a lot! Love to watch you create amazing and seemingly complicated shots with actually very little equipment (mostly) needed. Cheers from Poland! ;)
Amazing! What is your background cloth called? Great texture
Thanks. I don't know, it's a curtain I found.
@@botvidsson okay. Thank you for the response.
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. I have a question. Is it ever appropriate to create the text of a label in post? Would you ever ask for the label design in a vector file from a company you are shooting for? I notice fine print on labels/packaging can be poorly printed and then becomes tedious to cleanup in photoshop. Any advice?
Normally I shoot the product as it is but once or twice I have asked for the label and add it in post. That was pharmaceutical products shot straight on/white background.
And yes... I spend a lot of time fixing labels in post. 😵
Must add that I will never add a label if I can't retouch it in, in a realistic way. Must look 100% off course.
Do whatever it takes to create what your client wants. There is Photoshop... this isn't the 80's.
sir . amar kache 2to soft box ache . arokhom chobi tulte hole ki korte hobe ? apnar video valo legeche
Soft boxes are not the best for product photography
do you ever create composites to get the look you are going for?
Yes, to get the final small details in place I 'cheat' a bit. Like in this photo, I took two separate photos to get the dark edge on the glas and also a bit darker edge on the bottle. Also the smoke from the tube was a bit too much so I used the best shot when the smoke comes out and then deleted some spill below the bottle.
I always try to get as much as possible in the final image in camera, but sometimes I do 100% composite shots, like this mic static1.squarespace.com/static/55d243bce4b0145993597bd6/55d79a3ae4b0eff3bc2ce074/55de5b0ee4b04e9d10631fc5/1529936202013/?format=2500w
This is a composite of approx 10 images only used 1 flash, maybe I should do a videos on this. You have to my careful when doing composites because it can look a bit too much fake.
/Martin
Photography is easy & then you come to the real deal 6 flash + hunders of modifications yes its rocket science
Great! 🙏🏻
Awesome video! And why not get AC for your studio so you don't die from the heat??? :)
Hehe, good idea!
How do you make the smoke so cool?
_IcePlayz_ First I take an ishacka and threaten a goat 🐐 so he starts to smoke 💨 like a chimney.
botvidsson what the heck 😂
Why didn’t you bring home your kladdkaksform?
Oh, we forgot but we have many more
"One hundred million Fahrenheit..." Jejeje... 33 °C is a normal day here in Barquisimeto, Venezuela...
Edwin A. Hernández-Caraballo That’s a lot!!
1000 photos and three days of work. How do you figure out how or what to charge $$$$$ for that? Maybe you could do a video on this subject. Thank you for all the info. You are very good at what you do.
what kind of photos?
Im going to bring some shoes to Sweden so we can shoot a 400mp stop motion piece
Do it! I will have that camera a few more days so you better be FAST! Thanks! 😁
Pro Tip Botvidsson didn't cover: Don't drink hot coffee when you're hot.
😂😂😂 I'll remember that one!
@@botvidsson Great vid and even better to watch in the winter.
Amazing and inspirational work as always!!! I love your TH-cam channel!
Really happy you like it, thanks!
