  • In this video, I show you how to do bottle product photography on a white backdrop with just one continuous light and a smartphone. I also give some pretty mediocre life advice from Tik Tok.

    I have been struggling with continuous light for quite a while and recently couple of months back I came across your channel.
    Your videos really helped me understand the concept and tricks very nicely, at the same moment I was so sad that you didn't post any new videos recently and was hoping you comeback soon.
    I hope that you continue to post such amazing Artificial Light Tutorial
    Regulary.
    Thank you man❤️

    Was so happy to see a new video notification from you!! Welcome back! I hope you're doing great - I love this simple approach, I only have one flash and a camera but I constantly try to re-create full blown shoots with my simple set up just as a challenge for myself to realize that I can create cool photos with minimal equipment!

  • @pedrohc99

    There’s always something new to learn from your videos and that’s what makes your channel so valuable. I appreciate a lot your content here, the way you teach us is understandable and unique. I never get tired of watching it. I’m happy you’re back.

    Glad you're back! I've watched a ton of food photography videos from more seasoned TH-camrs. Mostly, they tackle gear or tips, but none of them discuss light as much as you do. Keep up the great work!

    I came across ur channel about a month ago. Ur videos totally opened a whole new world of lighting in food photography to me. Then after binging a lot of ur videos, I'm shocked to see that u haven't uploaded for awhile. So glad u are doing well!

    This is so super informative. Really great info, and a much deeper, but still quick understanding of lighting and set up.
    I see some people making comments about how you didn't JUST use your phone and an app, but I'd much rather have a more in-depth understanding of lighting and how things can be set up with different tools than to try and figure out why my dollar store equipment and phone camera aren't producing quality photos (been there for months). Having a better understanding of lighting in general in this sense is already helping understand where I've been going wrong, and I'm getting a better idea of what I can do with the means I have to get better product photos.

      thing is many people try to skimp on the photography , most sites i visits , they think their products look ok with their phones but theres a massive difference from ok to amazing , around 30 -40 % in productivity .

    @moSahl 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This video is extremely informative. You can do a LOT with just one light. I was surprised to see there was enough bounced light reflecting the bottle from behind to give it enough of a glow to not have to light it separately. The large v-flat advice to lighten the shadows is gold. The other option is to use multiple lights to light the back, sides and front label or one light to light all angles separately take it into photoshop, which I would rather not do. Just get a proper tripod and don’t worry about the low shutter speed. Thank you!
