In the video I keep talking about HDDs but clearly I'm photographing SSDs. 😎
D'OH!
HDD is SDD in Swedish... I think.
You sir are awesome human being, with the coffee and the photography and the sharing of your wealth of knowledge
Leon Rechter Thank you sir for your kind words. You just made my day. 😃
Luckily I'm in Peru at the moment, just woke up and will watch this whilst having coffee. Best way to start the day
Rodrigo Alejandro Deandreis Sounds great!
Hi, love your way of describing how to use light in such a simple manner. I'm from Australia and it's great that the internet can capture people like yourself who want to educate others, keep up the good work and thanks for the videos.
Rodney, thanks for the support. Means a lot!
Glad I found this channel. It’s just fun to watch someone playing around with lighting! 👍
Awesome, thank you!
love your channel. its refreshing to see more commercial work, done in a nice relaxed way.
Well, thanks you very much!!
"Photography for the masses" - This should be on a T-shirt! I love that line!
Hehe, I will make that t-shirt!
I want to know who are the 79 "professionals" that dislike this video. 🤷♂️
Their work must be out of this world! 🤦♂️
Great job man! I love your attitude, the way you explain things and your results.
(I love and laugh when you correct yourself and rephrase your sentences or words in english). 😂👍
Thanks a lot man for your support. The people who put dislikes are lonely and bitter individuals that have never succeeded in anything in life. We should not be too hard on them cuz they are probably very sad people.
Thanks a million again. Your comment means more to me then you can imagine. 😁
I seriuosly could watch your videos for hours and hours and never get bored!
90% of the things you do I already know, but that 10% you add with your experience and personality is just pure GOLD!
Great man! That's the point, no matter one what level you are you can always take some bits and pieces.
"Blue filter... no no, welcome to the 90s" haha! Love the commentary
😁 Great!
You are really the best channel because you`re not teaching correct ways to do something, but you teach people to think about it, improvise, and be good on their.. Good job :)
Thanks a lot, really makes me happy to hear that!
The way you walk us all through the process, making corrections along the way, is just so engaging and helpful. As a pro for 35 years, who is only now beginning to focus on the product photo side of my business, you are one of the most helpful teachers I have found yet. When my clients ask me how I got so good at this so fast, I'll just say, "Well, I have this Swedish friend..."
If it's okay I want to use your comment on my website... I got a tear in my eye, truly. Thank you very much.
@@botvidsson Of course! I'm delighted to help.
This is amazing , you have no idea how much these videos gave to me !! Big thank you for this awesome content and quality .
Well that is very good to hear! Thanks!
Just became a big fan of your work, sir. Loved the relaxed explanation and peaceful tone that you take. And that coffee somehow adds to the whole effect. Awesome!
Wow, thanks man. Comments like this makes my day. Will be on clouds rest of the day. 😎
A great tutorial on shooting tech devices! Thanks!
Thank you my friend!
I'm not a photgraopher, I don' t have a camera,I just love your personality and what you do,Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! That's very kind. 😃
This was fascinating, sir. Good work and thank you. Great process!
Glad you enjoyed it!
this is so informative and teaching, Its like taking a masterclass
Wow, thank you!
I really like how you demonstrate gradient light on the product and explain the mat surface can handle direct strobe.
Fantastic that you picked that up, it's very important and fundamental detail in flash photography. Many miss that. Thanks!
Your sound effects are awesome! All jokes aside, thanks for your straight-to-the-point tutorials.
Hehe, yes must have a bit fun editing, thanks!
imagine working in this guy's studio x) such a wonderful person, you got yourself a new subscriber sir, good work
Wow, thank you! Too kind 😁
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I really like your channel, and you have great energy man. Blessings!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing your videos. It is really good to see your thought process and troubleshooting an image.
Glad it was helpful!
Another way to make inexpensive diffusion frames is to go to a store that sells picture frames and ask if they stock canvas stretchers. Here in Atlanta, the stretchers are made of pre-cut wood in popular sizes, two per package. You purchase the sizes you want then assemble and glue the pieces together. Once dried, attach the diffusion material. The nice thing about these being wood is you can paint them black, white, or whatever color you would like. Also, being wood, you can attach screws, nails, hooks, etc. to use to suspend or support the diffuser.
For a slightly higher cost, ask about metal picture frame pieces that you assemble. These pieces screw together. Again, you buy pairs of two in order to assemble the finished size that you would like. The resulting diffusion frame will probably last longer than the above wood one and being metal, you can clamp it tightly to attach to devices such as a boom arm.

Thanks Terry for that great tip. Sounds like a great solution!!
just randomly found your channel. Even it is not straight forward your personality is cool and I don't mind to see your fails and the whole process. That is how I am doing too. Experimenting. Instantly subscribed! Thanks for sharing such a great value!
This is how ALL photographers do it. Testing and experimenting. Thanks a million!
I always enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Once more, you're the best. I really like your thinking of providing knowledge to the masses. Books, and most videos can't catch up with your videos.
I only would like to see more frequent uploads from you, hehe;)
Keep on providing for the messes men, people will notice and people will be gracious
Thanks a lot Sami, very kind words. Thanks for the support!
You are the best. Thank you very much. I love your all videos. 🙏
So nice of you, thanks!
good tutorials!!
Glad you like them!
OMG... This channel is GOLDEN. Thank you very MUCH!!
You're very welcome!
Good stuff. You're an excellent teacher.
Thanks! 👽
I Love you man 😘👍🏻👍🏻
And I love that you're watching!
First of all welcome back and congrats for 10k subscribers. Great tutorial like always!!!
Thank you, now I need to do a 10K video to celebrate I guess 😃
I learn so much from your video
Thank you always
Andrew Kang You’re very welcome!
i would love to see the post production as welll in all these videos but yeah i understand, It would take a lot more time. I love these videos! I think i have watched almost all your videos already :D
Yes I know. Sometimes I do not do post videos, but for this one I think I did a speed retouch
I found your channel yesterday. And I don’t know why, because I‘m not really in product photography. 😬
But this video ( I assume that the other ones will do the same) helped me a lot to understand the whys and hows. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks 🙏🏻😃 Great to hear that Uwe!
Reminder set! Thanks for doing what you do man. If I had the spare funds to pick you up some coffee and be an official supporter I'd do it but tbh I'm pretty broke but that's not stopping me from checking out what you do when I can. Your style has already marked me indelibly and I look forward to what the future brings
Great! Don't worry about it man, too much coffee is not good for the stomach 😄 See you at the premiere for this video later... if you're awake.
the most important thing its play GTA in freetime
100%
Thank you for another excellent video I will certainly be one of your Patreon.
Ian C Hi Ian, thanks! Really appreciate it.
Hopefully I will soon have more bonus coffee supporter videos out on my website.
Thanks for sharing your craft! Truly great content.

Thanks man!
Hey, man, you (and your job!) are incredible!!! I'm in Brazil, and always see you/your channel. Your help is singular. My english is poor, but you speak slowly, and that's very good. Besides, your teaching is GREAT!!! Very very thanks! ...and God bless your life!
Thank you so much for your support, menas a lot to me. Great that you can learn a few things from my videos.
I love your style, you are my mentor, thanks
Wow, thank you so much!
Thanks for another great video. Gotta make it to your studio one day!
Any time! Thanks
Amazing, great stuff, thanks for sharing. Cheers from Costa Rica!
Costa Rica! Wow, thanks a lot!!
You are a great teacher, I am scared shot of using bare lights, would try it one of these days. Thank you!
Just put on something like a reflector with a grid and then the light becomes easier to control. Good luck! And thanks!
Thank youuuuuuuuuuu...
No, thank YOU!!!
Great stuff Martin
Thanks man!
Another great video Thanks! can you do a video on the kit maybe? Really interested in seeing the parts you use to hold the diffusion sheets and cards.
Yes I plan to do that soon, might just be for the coffee supporters though... 😬
Wahhh amazing , i like ✌️😎💕😎😎😎😎
Whahoo!! Thanks man!!
Great! Thanks! Of course I will be a coffee-member!
Joakim! Tack som f-n! You're too kind.
I wish I have profoto too. Didn't know that was a Swedish Brand. A lot of photographer is saying profoto is good. I have only one Godox... When I get more money, then I will definitely get porofoto. Thank you for the great video this time too!!
Godox is good. Will do the work for you. Don’t invest in Profoto until you really have the money. Thanks
Love your videos, I just have to watch them at 1.5x speed haha
Slow down man, don't stress! Not good for you ;)
@@botvidsson HAHA! But there's so much to learn and so little time! :P
@@DynastyUK True, oh so true 😁
Already excited!
Sounds great!! 👽
Pro tip, use a cup for your coffee, makes it easier to hold 😂😂
Love the vid. Many thanks.
On this channel we don't make things easy 😄
i will keep say thank you for every your new turtorial . thank you :))
That is very nice of you, and thank you back!
I am learning sooooo much from your tutorials! And it actually motivates me to go an shoot! Loving the GTA on the background by the way hahaha
Fantastic to hear, that's the point of the channel - get people like to inspired! Thanks.
Inspiring!
Ramzi Shakir 🙏🏻👍🏼😃
Love your way of teaching 💖
And I have a question for you: how I can avoid purple/blue/green c.aberration on the background gradient? Do I have to fix 'em just in post using lightroom or camera raw and maybe freq.separation in PS?
Or c.aberration are avoidable directly in the shot? Thank you so much again for your amazing video✨
Best is not to fix in post off course. I'm not sure how you mean, if you set the white balance correct you should not get so much color cast, no matter what flash you are using... or?
@@botvidsson I have yongnuo flashes (thanks China), but I found your video of the Samsung battery edit and I found the answer! Amazing how you recorded the answer to my 2021 question in a video years ago! ;)
Parfait 👌👍🧐🤩😎
👍🏻
Thanks .... I have learned so much from you !
That makes me a very happy man!
I'm mildly triggered by how he holds his coffee
🤣
3:02 are the instructions for the diffusion frame still available? I don't see anywhere to buy you a coffee on your website anymore :)

Enjoy your coffee :)
Thanks a million for your support and welcome!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge you lovely man you!
Well, thank you so much sir!
Thank you for this and other lovely tutorials. :)
It would be great is you can mention the gear used in each video as description (I'm aware that the complete gear list is added but a lot of people will be looking for the specific equipment used for a particular video).
Also, aligning to your thought process of giving to the masses, I would suggest and request to use lesser gear (or lesser priced gear) for the videos if that is suitable. Profoto gear is expensive and it will not be affordable to a lot of users and hence this request to shoot with lesser/cheaper gear.
~Cheers.
Kumar (India)
Thanks for the tip! People need to realise that the equipment doesn't matter. Any brand will do when you just starting out. I often just use 1 or 2 flashes, the Profotos are expensive but you will get the job done with any flashes.
Excited 🖖❤
👽👍🏻
amazing as always! do you likeyour coffee whit milk? does your coffee give you some kind of super photography powers?
Hernando torres Yes, it’s the Swedish farmers milk that gives me the photography powers 💥
Great stuff, thank you!
Thanks David!
Hello, i'm just curious about the power of the strobe you used in this video? i'm buying a strobe and the one you have looks professional but it bearly got the right exposure with the maximum power
In this video it looks like I'm using the 500ws and/or 1000ws flashes. Not sure.
So what power is your flash? 500?
Great job as always!
Thanks! 👽
GTA 5 for PS4 in the background!
lets play a bit online :D
Hehe, well spotted! I forgot to turn off the monitor. I actually only play in off line mode, you have to teach first 🤪
Hej Martin, i love your Videos and I want to Start productphotography. Please, you may tell me how much Watt/sec i need for Studio flashes my Studio will have the same size like yours, mabe a little Bit smaller. Thanks and greetings from Germany.
Hello, it's hard to say how much you need, depends on what and how you photograph but in general I be fine with 500ws in most cases. Sometimes I need 1000ws.
Yeah !!!!!!
😎
Very good job. Briliant ideas 👍
Thanks 🙏
So you exist 😉 😂 😏 man your personality 👌🏾😜 ☕ you're pretty awesome
Thank you. Very kind. 👽👽👽
Hey mate, I was hoping you could help me out with a problem I am trying to solve. I run an online store and have a large range of products of many different sizes and textures. I've been trying to create a home softbox type studio where I can consistently take shots of all the products. I don't want to clear cut as I like the off-white backdrop with a soft shadow to one side.. Do you have any advice? I would really appreciate it!
Hard to do one light fits all products. Maybe one big softbox from the side with grey background, clean and simple.
@@botvidsson Thank you, I will give this a go!
@@botvidsson Thank you for all your help and videos! I took your advice and this was the result. I would love to know what you think www.dailyrituals.co.nz
I think it looks very pro and amazing!
Thanks for the video. I like the way you do it. I photograph lamps. The difficulty is, for example: to photograph a crystal chandelier with all spectral colors in front of white background. Or a white table lamp with white glass ball in front of white background. With and without the lights on. There is not a single product photographer on youtube who photographs lamps in glass, chrome or brass. If you show how it works, you are the very first and only one. And .... it would help me a lot.
Can you send an image of that lamp you have in mind. It sounds difficult but should not be impossible. info@botvidsson.se Thanks!
@@botvidsson Thanks Martin, I sent you a message.
Thanks! Awesome
Thanks Leonel!!
teal and orange love
Love it!
Splendid Job!
I am currently working with my family business of Laboratory Glassware Like Beakers, Flasks, Funnels etc. They are really challenging because the Brand Labels and Graduations on the Glass need to be highlighted. But the lights in front of the Glass make nasty reflections.
With your brilliance, I am pretty sure you would find an amazing solution.
If anyone has a few tips and tricks, please share and support.
It's hard, but it sounds like you need to work with diffusion material and place the light behind. Huge soft diffused light... but it's hard to really give advice without seeing the product or photo.Maybe you can share and ask for advice in our Facebook group "botvidsson"
Quick question! Is 85 or 50 better for. Product photography?
85mm but if you like to shoot small stuff close up you need 100-120mm macro.
That doesn't look like the typical Manfrotto Magic Arm, can you elaborate Please? Thank you for the videos. Very Nice work indeed.
It's the
Manfrotto 196AB-3 3-Section Single Articulated Arm with a clamp attached. Check them out in my Amazon shop: www.amazon.com/shop/botvidsson
The clamp is the one after the arm
Hi. Probable someone already asked you about what displays do you have there. The left one looks like an EIZO but the right and bigger one... which one is?please.
Christian Gallego Actually, no one ever asked about the monitors. Left a bit older Eizo, correct. The one to the right BenQ 4K, don’t have the exact name in my head but it’s one of the newest one.
@@botvidsson thanks... 32 or 27 inches?
32
Love the video! I like photography for the masses if it looks like this!
😃🙏🏻
Would you consider proposing other brands of flashes as the Profoto ones really hurt the bankaccount?
Well, probably not. This is my own flashes, don't own any other... sort of.
Remember, you can always use any brand of flashes for all my tutorials.
@@botvidsson Looking forward to your 'tutorials' as they do inspire to learn this game of shadows and light
The Godox or Flashpoint brands are used by many pros including me. They have fantastic quality flashes.
I already have a gmail, so I just subscribe. Good contents brother.
More people should follow your splendid way of action. Thank you!
awesome stuff brother
Glad you dropped by!
Just ran across this video and have a question - it appears you are using a D2 on top, I cannot see what light is on the right side but it looks like a D1 on the left side. I have trouble mixing my D1's with the D2's as the D1 is considerably warmer and I can see that a mile away when using a neutral background like white or gray as you are.
Are you using a -300 or -600 front glass on the D2 or why am I not seeing a large color difference between the D2 on the background paper vs the snooted D1 that's also hitting the scene from the other side? Just curious as this color difference drives me insane in setups where I need another light and have to bring a D1 into the mix with my D2's
Yes, it's 2 D2's and 1 D1, have not noticed any huge color shift in-between them... well, if I use the D2's in freeze mode, they are crazy cold/blue.
@@botvidsson thank you for the reply. I do not have a colorimeter but I'll try to take a few demonstration shots with D2 and D1 to illustrate this (I have 3 D2's and 3 D1's and they seem to all behave the same way - NOT in freeze mode). If memory serves the D1's seem to hover around 5700-5800 (number via WB target in Capture One not actual measurement) and somewhere north of 6400 on D2's. My suspicion is that it's the fact that the D1's get a lot warmer as the power level gets lower vs less variance on the D2's and the opposite effect.
What are your camera settings to start with a black shot if you have other ambient light on?
ISO100, 1/1200, f10
@@botvidsson Aha, thanks for your reply!
@@jk9084 That will depend on the available ambient light and other factors, like distance etc.
If you would use Martin’s setting there’s no guarantee your results will be the same.
Just experiment, that way you’ll learn how light works.
@@MoD_Master_Of_Disaster_ Ah ok thanks!
love this guy
Me too 🤣 Just joking, thanks!
@@botvidsson LOL hahaha
Im subbed :) hi botvidson!
Ihate Camper Gaming Great. Welcome!
Thank you for sharing, I want to learn more about product photography for the masses in the future interesting. definitely I'll subscribe and I will hits the bell icon.
That sounds great! Thanks!
This channel is gold🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
That's very kind of you to say!
@@botvidsson plz teach us the effective use of speedlight in product photography.
I don't like to use speedlights, they do not have a modelling light so you can not see what you're doing 🥴
But maybe one day I will anyway... 😁
Thanks for the vid helps me a lot !!!!1
Glad it helped!
dear, what honeycomb grid is that? 10,20,30? thank you
It’s a 5 or 10. Probably 5
@@botvidsson thank you a lot
Snyggt!
Tackar!
Great material, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Im sorry but i just found you, this must be the best channel on youtube...
What flashes you use by the way;
Well, that's great. We're just getting started over here. I use Profoto. 2 D2 500ws, 2 D1 1000ws, 1 D1 500ws and 3 Pro-heads.
