Thanks for watching everyone. This is a new channel and I appreciate every engagement you can offer. Please consider subscribing if you like what you see. I will answer all questions below!
been subbed since the first time I saw your Q2 video, watched this twice so I wouldn't miss a thing
Im so grateful for the lessons you share!
@@SebastianAndreiIordache94 Thanks for your support Sebastian!
You have just become my favorite photographer TH-camr! Such a high class video! Glad I found your channel
Great video !!!
Just wondering where you bought your laptop stand please ?
@@johnr1721 Google “HPRC LAPTOP”
I thought he was joking saying he needed 2 hours per photo.
But now I understand why.. this was an education
This is the difference between TH-camr car photography and Professional Photography 👌🏻
Wow, thanks!
Man, I don’t think I’ve ever seen photos this amazing before. One of a kind. I’m a beginner myself and I can only hope to reach this one day. kudos to you dude!
Great insight! Thanks, Michael! Enjoyed seeing @damian.plisko popping up too!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yep - he's the man
Another great vid Michael, top drawer. Length is fine, good details included. I love watching these, keep up the great work.
Awesome, thank you!
Highest value photography channel! Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
just watched a 35 minute video and wanted it to be longer instead of shorter (great info)..... only if we could get an in depth video on how the retoucher merge all those exposure plates :) btw saw the images on the Lamborghini Hong Kong Facebook page wow great images!
I think the 30-35 minutes is a good balance between not taking too much of everyone's time (including mine for making the videos) and going into detail. Thanks for your input!
Why don't you use polarizing filters to get rid of reflections.
Is it the same as ND filters?
@@thumpertorque_no Vnd darkens it to keep a low shutter speed
Cpl filter cuts off all reflections
Having an assistant is apparently everything.
This is my first time watching someone shoot car photography, not just well, but for commercial use. See how you actually go through and construct a perfect image, all the little techniques and strategies that put the work a head above a single shot, is really cool!
Woah this is next level car photography! Everything is well thought of! Subbed 🤟🤟
This is incredible. I watched the entire thing and realized how on top of your game you have to be for commercial shoots considering the time limit and outdoor environment.
Thanks! Usually we try to get more shooting time but not always the case when the venue poses restrictions.
This was great thank you for sharing and showing a behind the scenes process.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. This is invaluable!
I'm glad I have found your channel! I like your videos because you don't hide anything and you are very open about topics you talking about. It is very useful and helpfull because sometimes is hard to find out this informations and some photographers doesn't want to share this informations so it's hard to find out. I'm looking forvard for more content and I'm already very thankfull for all informations you sharing. I'm in transitions from hobby to charging clients and make it work. Thank you for everything! :)
Thank you Patrik! My sole reason to start this channel was to address the "missing gaps" about photography on TH-cam, so I'm very glad to hear your comments!
Thanks for this video. I found it really informative and it was great to see your workflow and the attention to detail put into the shoot.
I highly appreciate this content. Thanks for such a good BTS.
Glad I found this channel hope this helps me get better to the point where I’m comfortable to start commercial shooting
This channel is hidden gold bro, hearing all of these tips and seeing the process from somebody actually doing it and shooting for big brands makes me feel like I have a mentor helping me every step of the way in my journey. Keep making these vids please :)
Oddly enough, this channel has brought me quite a few mentoring clients, so I appreciate your kind words. Thanks.
I love long videos, keep em coming, great job!
Thanks! Will do!
Oh wow, I've been watching Damian's tutorials for a while now and now here you guys are working together on a shoot - that's amazing! Great work as always. Oh and personaly for me - the longer the video is and the more info there is the better. Keep it up!
Thanks for your comments Tadas. One more vote to keep current video length is great
I appreciate this so much man! Thank you for all the value you are providing!
My pleasure!
Love the long form videos. The details of the shoot like pointing out centering the wheel caps are the best parts. I’d love to see more content like this. Fantastic images!
Thank you! Really appreciate hearing this from you (and pretty much everyone else too). Long form it is!
I love these in depth videos, super helpful in finding ways on growing an arsenal of photography methods and tips
Great to hear - I will keep it up!
Dude keep your vids to this length its original and informative and those who really wana watch will watch, awesom vid
Thanks, will do!
So great to see a truly professional perspective, I learned so much! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Not always easy to shoot a YT video in front of clients, but they were nice enough to allow.
Thank you Michael and Damian! Felt like I learned a TON yet again! Amazing to see what you two were able to create together.
It was our pleasure to make this video. Thanks for watching.
Michael, this is an amazing, exceptional video! Thanks a lot for your work - it is really stunning
Thank you for watching Maria!!!
Please keep making content like this. Super informative, learned a lot! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Thank you! Will do!
Great video Mike... I follow a lot of photography youtubers, a long time ago, and I've never seen a proper content like this from them! Congrats and keep going, please! Cheers from Portugal! 🙌🙏👍
Respect!
Glad it was helpful and thank you for watching. Please subscribe if you can.
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal I subscribed on the first video I saw from you, I binge watched them all, and some of them more than once... it's clear that you're not just another youtuber. Love your videos! Thank you for teaching us all! Cheers! 🙏🙌
Just came across your channel this week. I love the education that you are presenting.
Welcome aboard and thanks for watching!
Yes! I was waiting for this. Thanks Mike!
You bet, Jaroslav. Took a while to make this one!
Great video! Thank you for that!
This was so cool to see! Always love seeing other's thought processes. Thanks so much for sharing and please do more long, in-depth job shadows like this!
All the best!
Tuan
Thank you! Will do!
Hey Michael, just in the last few days I've been watching all your Episodes up to this one. I'm not a person that comments much on TH-cam but I just gotta thank you for this Channel on TH-cam!
After "being stuck" with private clients and almost giving up on entering the B2B world of Photography you just got me the right bit of Motivation to keep on trying!
I'll keep watching your Videos, just please keep them coming! You're amazing at this! ❤
Thank you so much and don't give up! If it was easy, everyone would be doing it!
Fantastic job, and fantastic explanation, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Really good to hear from an actual Pro. The way you handled a huge shoot with minimal artificial lighting setup while shooting a video for the channel really shows the skill.
Thank you for watching, Gaurav. I'll try my best to film more of my shoots although it is difficult to concentrate on the job and talk to the camera - will try anyway!
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal the BTS is great, you can always do a voice over later, I understand this would take more of your time so may not be practical always, but using the scrim to grab clean reflections is something I don’t think I would have thought of.
Thanks to Damian Plisko for recommending this video! Such an amazing work from both of you guys!!!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙌 Glad youfoundf this video. Hope you enjoyed watching!
Loved this video. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Loved it. Great insight into the world of professional automotive photography
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so so much for this video. Please do more of the kind. You are great
More to come and thank you for watching!
No problem. This videos can be as long as you like to. Can watch it for hours 😍
Thank you for the video and for sharing your process. I saw these images on FB and Behance, and absolutely loved them! I have to say that it made me kinda sad and happy all at the same time to see that a commercial shoot like this is still done under such ridiculous conditions (no time, car is late, shooting in public spaces, etc.) Nevertheless, the results are absolutely fantastic!!
As for the video....it was lovely to have a really long, detailed video, but that being said, a half hour video takes a lot of time to watch. Whichever way you decide to move forward, the content is awesome and that's what matters! Thanks again!
Hi Oliver and thanks for your comments. I understand that shorter videos are easier to watch (and believe me, much easier for me to make!), but I naturally lean toward going into details which cannot avoid the extra time it requires. Most comments are in favour so I will keep going. Yeah it was a tough shoot - perhaps not the best one to also film for TH-cam, but it's a Lambo so I figured the car alone was going to get more viewers than a less attractive car ;-)
Amazing shoot 👍👍👍👍
Incredible work. I’m a huge fan of Damian’s. Really making me step back and think of how much more time I should be spending on set and far less in post. Thanks again for a great video
Yes for sure. Better shooting = better retouching.
Wow! This video is amazing. Please do more of these
Yep - sorry I've been busy with other projects lately. Will make more videos soon.
great, in depth video, I loved it, thank you so much, it's very helpful, keep going :)
Thanks, will do!
That retouching is out of this world!
Thank you and thanks to @damianplisko
Terrific video! Thank you for walking us through the process.
Glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure!
Love this video! Learnt a lot more than watching other youtubers. Appreciate how much time you spend to break it down for us. Thank you! Looking forward to more content.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal A video of you shooting a car with entry to mid range level gear and no assistant would be interesting and much easier for us viewers to relate to!
@@Paulpanly Thanks Paul, but my channel is set up for more professional-related topics, which is what I found missing amongst all the other TH-cam photography channels. I wouldn't say my gear is out-of-reach especially for this photo shoot. Canon DSLR, 24-70 lens, a laptop, 1 strobe are all common items. Even my assistant was essential - don't forget this was a real job with a real client on-set with us with a very tight schedule. Working without an assistant would have been too slow to make the deadline. Getting help is a huge asset and saves a ton of time while shooting. Friends come in handy ;-)
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal Okay no worries. Looking forward to future content hopefully soon.
Nice work have thought much about doing more photography, i am a hobbyist and so much to learn.
Awesome work - photoshoot and the video! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will try my best!
wow that's awesome.. very impressive.. great work of a photographer.. you can see all angles.. super like it..
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks a lot for what you’re doing! Not so many automotive photographers explain how they shoot. Very good and detailed explanation of the whole process. Timing looks good to me also. Would love to see more of your BTS with comments on technical side of things. Some additional questions:
- Why have you decided to do this color grading with red/orange toning in shadows?
- How would you shoot alone without any assistance (if you would)?
- What is your advice if you need to shoot in the unfamiliar places without any possibilities for location scouting before actual shooting?
- Do you usually use exposure bracketing when shooting with Canon or other low dynamic range cameras?
Hi Oleg. Thank you for your reply and comments. Glad to hear another viewer ok with my long videos!
To answer your questions.
- The main colours are Cyan, Orange, and Yellow - they are used to contrast with the car colour to make the car stand out. The red is to contrast against all of the main colours to simply balance the overall image.
- I have shot without assistants before, but everything takes so much longer. So I always try to get an assistant.
- Use google maps and street view to get as much information as possible. Also find the location on Instagram to see the most recent photos of the location in case something changed after the google photos were taken.
- Yes I always try to bracket exposures on tripod unless when shooting handheld (rare) which makes bracketing impossible.
Hope this helps. Please consider subscribing - thanks!
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal Already subscribed:) Thanks for your feedback!
Awesome series. Make more from this. Dope video.
Thanks! Will do!
Loved this video. I also really love damians work. I’ve been following him for a little while now. Funny how small industries always seem to be lol
Thanks and it was a pleasure working with Damian
Hey Michael, Greetings from Wellington, NZ. Absolutely love you work! Thanks heaps for sharing your tip so openly. Looking forward to checking other videos on your channel.
Hi Runi and thank you for your support in my channel, and for your kind words
you are insane man!
This was fascinating. Great work.
Thank you very much!
Excellent video! Surprise twist at the end. I didn’t expect you to sub out the retouching, but your explanation was spot on and inspirational. Speaking of subs, I subscribed to your channel! Great work.
Thanks for the sub! And yeah I hire out all my retouching for my kind of work. It's a team effort!
Crazy
Amazing content! subscribed!
I would love a video where you talk about how you approach and do your lifestyle shots. Your videos are great and the most informative that I have seen on TH-cam!
Great suggestion! Will consider it!
Amazing. Thank you!
Thank you too!
perfect
Great skills and content!
Love it, very en-lightening ;) Thank you very much, you're an absolute legend for doing this. Also a legend for being so open about techniques used in the pro industry. I know many photogs who like to keep techniques a secret. Oh, absolutely love Damiens work and have seen his stuff around. Videos of this calibre can be as long as they need, I would watch an hour long...
P.S Great client skills. :) Its nice to have a client that is not a know it all....
Wow, thank you! Seems I'm on the right track in making these kinds of videos. Very helpful for me moving forward.
What an amazing video and thank you for sharing. I hope to use some of that in my own auto photography!
Thanks Iver glad you found it helpful
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Learned a whole lot, again...
Welcome la!
This is a awesome video! Time to practice a lot more.
You got this!
Hi, would like to let you know - I discovered your channel like yesterday, my initial impression ( at beginning of watching 1st video ) was can somebody just 'talk' about colour theory and as a viewer can we really get glued to the screen looking at host's face . . bang, you made it possible. There is so much of information and genuine views, basic principles, thought process behind the decisions made - I have become a fan of yours ! This 35 min video a surely a good length, thanks for making these and sharing your knowledge ! Cheers .
Thank you for watching and for your kind words, Sanket.
this video was so helpful for me as a beginner. thanks, bro
Glad it helped
Great work! Nice video!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great work! Thank You that You are sharing so valuable infos. I hope that You will take photos of Croatian car Rimac Nevera.
dope video hopefully one day ill have work like that
that shoot was soo fast... Full pressure man! On the video though you seem pretty chill haha....
LOL yeah - gotta keep your nerves in check and be professional especially when client is there, regardless of how I feel inside!
Loved the video 👏🏽
Thank you!!
Great content!
Thank you!
Great video , photo shoot
Thanks for watching!
Amazing😊
Thanks 😄
Fascinating video, honestly really inspired by your method of working. Also, is that some kind of laptop mount for a tripod or a portable laptop table?
Thanks Tao! And yes it's a laptop "table" that fits on any tripod.
Need more videos!!!!
Great video as always. What's with the golf balls? haha. Also, was the top color overlay a CD idea in the treatment or did they give you control on the feel? Thanks
Thanks for your comments, Joe. I had full creative decision for all color treatment and as you see, we went quite bold except for maintaining the car color
Hi! Love your videos. I’m really learning so much! what size scrim would you recommend to get to include as part of one’s kit for car photography?
Not really practical to use a scrim for location work. I have only seen it a couple of times with huge budget sets. It's common in a studio though - 15x30ft roughly.
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal thank you. Looking forward to more videos! :)
Very impressive and in-depth lesson ! Learnt a lot in it ! Greeting from a hobbyist automobile "photographer" in HK who wish to be like you one day. Cheers !
Thanks for watching Isaac and good to know another local photographer.
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal Not really a photographer haha, just hobbyist. Amazing video and hope to meet you and learn from you some day !
Love this! What software do you use for tethered shooting? Any reason why it's not lightroom?
I use Capture One Pro. Much better for tethering than LR as you can control all camera functions from computer.
Awesome Michael!! You’re a natural. I’m gonna learn lots!! Have you seen the vids from Scott Choucino. His vids are good also!!
Yes I have. I think him and I are both approaching TH-cam in a similar way - we are both working photographers.
Great Content , I recently bumped into one of your videos and now can't stop watching them! But I am curious what's the rationale behind the red color in this set of images?
It’s just a small creative add-on. Could have done without it but decided to try regardless.
Fantastic video! I am an amateur, but with yours video I will learn! You are my Master now:) (Sorry for my poorly english)
Welcome aboard! I'm glad it was helpful! Please subscribe if you can.
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal With a pleasure:)
Do you use longer exposure to use the reflector to create more light then move it before the shutter closes so the reflector isn't in frame
Not needed as it composited later in post.
Very interesting to watch! The colorful spots in the final pictures are not quite to my taste. But at the same time find them very unique in style. Separately, the color bothered me a little. But on all photos together, it looks really great! Thanks for the insight and the effort to make a video like that.
Kind regards
Robert Pajak
Much appreciated Robert. Thanks for watching!
Love Hong Kong, incredible city. Now you mention bracketing, I'm pretty new, but are you just shooting multiple shots but with different exposures, or is there a setting in the Canon you use to do this? Great video!
Some cameras have a feature called Auto Bracketing which fires a series of shots based on your bracketing settings. Can also do it manually (changing shutter speed only)
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal got ya thank you! I have a Canon r5, I think it has that feature!
Nice jobb! :)
Thanks!!!
Love your retouches, video explanations, technique. Only critique I've noticed is that some of the crops cut off strangely. W that said, professional shooting versus street photography- they have different expectations and it's likely that's what they asked for. Keep up the work!
Interesting that you don't use a CPL filter
Hey, awesome content! I'm not really a commercial shooter but still so much to learn here. Coupla questions are 1) what's that big rectangular reflector your used? I haven't found many car-sized reflectors and that one looks perfect. And 2) in another video you mentioned a private Facebook group, would love to check it out if it's still active.
Thanks for watching. To answer your questions, (1) It's called California Sunbounce. Mine is the "pro" size. (2) Pls reply here with your FB account URL and I need to add you as friend before inviting you to the group (since it's a private group)
30 Minutes is perfect, great that you explain each shot and what gear you're using and why. I noticed you didn't seem to be using a CPL, is there a reason for that?
I find that CPL's take away too much of the gloss and also offers too little control. With reflectors, I can choose exactly what angle I want, and work on a body panel at a time.
The Photography Rebuttal thanks very much for confirming. I often use a CPL but I agree that you can often loose too much reflection/gloss. I tend to use a couple of turns and then choose the best option per turn for each section. Keep it up.
Amazing BTS. You are awesome guy and I hope for more videos.
I have also one question, why didn't you use CPL filter?
Are you worried about changing temperature during filter rotate? or maybe there are other reasons?
Thanks for your reply ;)
I am not a fan of CPL because I find they remove too much gloss on the paint and makes the car look too dull
@@ThePhotographyRebuttal Thank you for your answer
