Just logged back into the old gram and have seen how much you've grown dude, congrats on breaking away to do your thing, I'll be catching up on all the stuff I've missed, great to see ya on the tubes. Hopefully see you out and about soon. Good luck fella
Lighting seems to be the most important aspect. What I'm taking from the video is that the camera settings can be alot different per user but to get the glow and nicely lit bottle then the diffusers or duffusers 😉 play the key role.
Excellent video Mark, everything explained very well, bit of equipment required to achieve the desired look but not a huge amount, interesting ref the gold card
The video was too awesome. Always feel that the external lighting is too over complicated for me...But someday!! One recommendation would be showing your progress photos while changing the settings which could have given us the idea why you were making changes in the setup... So for example, you moved lights but would have been great if were able to see the image that was clicked which made you move the lights.
Thanks. Whenever i photograph Whiskeyglasses it gets dark in the middle or on top. When shooting backlit i mean. Do you have any idea why? Also, dont have the strip boxes as i dont have room. Can i use quadratic (not sure this is correct English i am Swedish) softboxes Thanks
Yeah when you light like that you're guaranteed to get a shadow to the front of the bottle. A separate light is usually used for the label or a foam core with a hole cut out to fit on lens to bounce the strip light back at bottle. Also then for your square softbox, you could cover half each of the boxes to make them have a strip light and then shoot into a diffusion panel.
@@MarkDuffyPhotography thank you. I am trying to achieve the hard light effect with the refractions that i have seen everywhere lately . I tried to add some fill from side and from front but still some parts of the liquid were dark. O guess it might be the shape of the glass. Or i am doing something wrong

Great video mate, I wish I had your patience with these types of set ups, the perfection is real!
The effort is worth the reward. Getting that top quality photo, the hardest part is convincing a client that it's money well spent
Believe it or not, the thumbnail is of Whiskey worth over €100k
Epic man. Great work. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
cheers dude :)
Great video Mark. I use a similar light setup but sometimes just use the modeling lamps on longer exposure without the strobe.
Ah Sam you're so lazy haha

Great video thanks for sharing!! Do u mind to tell me about the set up u using to see the pic on a “tablet” that’s helps a lot i guess! Cheers
Its not a tablet, just a monitor
Could you please tell me what Wimaxit monitor you have connected to your camera?
Not sure on the name it's the 13"
Hi Mark. Would you still shoot this with cool light or warm light?
