Thank you very much. Deeply appreciate your videos and techniques used. Unlike many others who depend solely on Photoshop, your in studio methods just make photography so real.

Glad it was helpful!

I've been paying attention. I'm happy to report that I correctly guessed how you were going to light it, from what I've learned from your earlier videos. I just might get the hang to this lighting thing, one of these days. Great video as always, thanks.

Glad I could help

You are sharing gold. So many other tutorials make this whole process so confusing that I personally stopped using Lightroom/photoshop because I could not follow other instructors, but you explained it so clearly that I had no problem following along. Thank you.

[@CameraClubLive]

You are really a great mentor.

Thank you so much.
One more question, how can i photograph a perfume bottle that is convex (i can see even the whole room, ceiling and floor ) and silver (reflective)

[@CameraClubLive]

I will see if I can sort something out over the winter.

[@schmuelstutschinsky8886]

Can't light the neck of the thin cup on both sides...
Uses the same equipment as in the video. Do you have any advice?
Thanks

[@CameraClubLive]

You need to be careful of the height of the soft boxes, putting them higher may help. Thanks for watching.

[@schmuelstutschinsky8886]

I made it with Godox AD 400 pro and Godox Octa Softbox 60X60 cm (1/2 exp). After I moved the glass and the black card close the softbox I still got only the outlines of te glass and no details in the glass. What's wrong??? Thanks in advance for your support

[@CameraClubLive]

The glass I used had an iridescent coating on its surface, that is what produced all the colours. Also the glass was embossed.

[@corinapapadopoulou3149]

so if you have a set of 4 glasses with the same color how on earth do you shoot them ? If someone could help me that would be amazing

[@CameraClubLive]

I have done some videos in the past shooting glass. One springs to mind on seamless paper. If you have four glasses composition will be important and for an even light a large soft box. Some distance away will help. Good luck, and thanks for watching.

[@micah3823]

What is the distance between Lightbox and subject?

[@CameraClubLive]

Very close
