[@cmad99]

This is great! Do you have any advice on shooting double-sided etched glass (example: emblem or quote on both sides of glass) on a white background? I can't seem to get a clear shot without the back emblem coming through. Thanks!

[@coulterjb22]

Great tips! What do you do to stop dust?

[@DavidLeeWedDJ]

how do you best clean the glasses for photographing, to leae no finger prints/smears, as I ifnd, especially when on black backgorund evrything is more visable. Thanks in advance.

[@dropshiprizwan5633]

Thanks David! Excellent job! very simple trick. Is it the same way we can take photo of a transparent plastic bag which I am trying to do for last couple of days but had the same light reflection problem.

[@mqass7677]

Hey budd, quick question. How can I get a better view of the reflection took off of a wine glass? 🤔

[@deborahbowen6874]

Thanks for that. Any suggestions for a tripod / kit for taking process videos with a mobile phone from above or an angle while creating glass pieces to be fired in a kiln?

[@joserosales5153]

Thanks much!! ❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🤘🏼⚡️

[@sherrymajeedi2]

How I can get the same result with my speedlight

[@eddiegremlin]

David, how would you go about photographing a glass that is etched, to show the engraving. Oh and happy new year...

[@DavidBergmanPhoto]

Edward Millership Hmm I’ll have to work on that another week! Ask me at www.AskDavidBergman.com and I’ll do my best.

[@eddiegremlin]

David Bergman Done..

[@Josnatch]

this video is crazy! photos are nice but the video has mad reflection from the light directly in front of you. id try a moving the light a littler higher or lower than your eyes

[@basketsbyjill1557]

What about etched glass? Thank you 🤗

[@maryrose56catcat]

hi thankyou so much, can you spell the black foam c...… I couldn't get the word right when ebaying, cork, or core neither got me what I needed, thanks in advance x

[@Stephydamour]

Hi, thanks for the great tips. How would you shoot a overhead shot of a very reflective stainless steal spoon please?

[@SolelyElectric]

What about transparent packaging??

[@BarbieStPauliGirlShellyClark]

I’m just curious is there anyway to take a panoramic picture of a painting on drinking glass

[@jeannolley3176]

Been trying to take photo with my phone of pendant which has a rounded glass. Colors are not coming out true and there is a reflection of me in the photo. I spent about an hour last night and finally got the black to show up as black but there is a little reflection of light on one side that can be removed in photoshop. Any suggestions from anyone?

[@viappioshred]

My problem is that the top rim of the glass isn't really visible. The black flag over the glass does exactly 0 work

[@Bevlyn20]

That was really helpful, not to practice :-)

[@sbarronmd]

what if it had wine in it?

[@DavidBergmanPhoto]

sbarronmd Will still work but dilute the wine with some water so it’s a bit lighter.

[@LeeYunoh]

Dk

[@karayuschij]

I think that you should learn how to place the light when filming people with reflective glasses………

[@johnthomasgoerke7852]

Kinda skipped over the black background explanation buddy....
