The Bob Ross of Photoshop. Really solid work, dude.
Dan, that is the highest honor imaginable.
So true! Your voice is so soothing. Not particularly interested in product photography, but I couldn't help but watch till the end. Great job!
Dan Settle This is spot on!
Glad I saw this comment, cause I've been wondering if anyone else had shared the thought. It's that Bob Ross flair, for sure, and a unique approach to the subject that no one else has. Very matter of fact, straight forward, and straight to the point. It's perfectly concise, with a wealth of information start to finish. I discovered this channel about a week ago and have gotten totally hooked on it.
this is exactly what I thought of when watching this video. I have been shooting Portraiture/Weddings for over a decade, and have been wanting to venture into commercial products. The differences between editing portraits and still life objects is incredible. This is a wonderful channel, thank you and keep up the great work!
I have watched (and liked) almost all of your video's.... I've been a photographer for very many years, but the industry and techniques have always changed, and gotten better. You, my friend, have truly taught an old dog new tricks! Thank you so much for doing this channel, please keep up the brilliant work.
So happy to hear that, cheers
I've been watching yours videos for a while and i'm amazed every time.
You make everything look so simple, whether you're using one speedlight or a bunch of gear yours photos are breathtaking.
This channel is pure evidence that what really matters is skill not a million dolar worth equipement.
Keep up with the good work :D
So kind of you to say all these things. Thanks and I hope to see you again next time!
The best of the best tutorials simple and effective!
Alex Shik thanks a ton! 👍
These videos are awesome man. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Nick Humphrey it was our pleasure, thanks so much for watching 📸
Its truly amazing what you're able to do with just holding a speedlight and using a reflector. Everytime I watch your videos I learn something about photography, flash or photoshop. Thanks so much Dustin
Steven, thanks man... I'm starting to love the minimal setups!
That is the tutorial I’ve been waiting for. Great work! Can’t wait to see more like this.
Awesome, glad I could be of assistance!
Best one yet. Thanks for so much insight.
Bradley Skaggs, thank-you man!
you are awesome! love all your vids and great work!
Isaac, thank-you.
Dude this is so helpful and you are an awesome teacher.
Thanks Joakim
Please do this full time! Best tuts out there man!
Leo you're one motivating dude! Cheers and thanks for your kind words
Such great, useful content, expertly and patiently explained - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
this channel deserves more recognition.
Thank you for saying that
just discovered your awesome channel. Got me excited about this craft :) Thanks!
apcut Stoked we got you excited! There's a lot to be excited about in product photography
I think it's breathtaking.
Made me smile, cheers!
you're just so good. Really great tutorials :)
Thank you my friend, too kind
Another awesome video from Dustin. Not only is he demonstrating minimalist studio techniques but also how to approach the solution quickly in Ps. Thanks for your work!
Thx!
Great video! Real techniques.
Cheers my friend!
Just found your channel, and I am impressed !!!! Look simple, but it is not in real life.....But thanks to you it started to make sense and understand the idea and process. Love it.
Thank you for the nice feedback!
Your work is always made of cheap tools, but the quality of your photos is the best. great job bro!
THANKS! Techniques and retouching is 99% of the journey (-:
太棒了，学习到好多知识，谢谢你！
finally someone who doesn't have a million bucks equipment and telling how easy it is..awesome work! subbed and liked!
That is the thesis of this channel! Thanks so much man
Great video, I fund this really useful! Thank you - Subbed!
Ross Jukes, thank-you greatly sir
Great work!!!!
Thank-you Bryan!
Great tutorial bro...!
Glad you enjoyed it! -D
perfect information thank you for that
I'm so glad I found your channel a while ago. You make by far the best tutorials for product photography. Might not match what you do but I would like to see what you would do shooting a car. Keep up the great work man.
Most important lighting theory for cars (or any reflective surface) is to light what the car sees, not the car itself.
That's why most cars are shot at dusk in a scenic location -- the car looks great and so does the smooth gradients of the scene reflecting on the car.
Same technique can be practiced in the studio w/ a miniature car.
A tip I was given, even though I don't shoot cars, is if you are shooting the interior, drape a white bedsheet over the vehicle, so it blocks all the windows, and gives you a soft white light from outside.
Awesome idea, one for the future of workphlo! :)
Awesome video. Only thing I noticed is that the shadow does not drop in the way the light supposedly hit the subject. If it was composed as a front lit image, shadows drop behind the subject, not under or front.
Thank you for the tutorial.
Absolutely love your channel. Such a variety of products and the appropriate lighting set-ups to accompany them.
If you're ever looking for feedback, one thing I would mention is to set your voice recording to mono instead of stereo for when you're demonstrating the compositing stage. I can slightly hear your voice creating a 'spinning' effect in my ears from the smallest change to your voice direction. Mono would remove that so your voice is nice and central at all times in both ears. Super nit picky but might be helpful.
Keep up this amazing work!
Blue Monkey! Thanks as always my friend, it's our pleasure.
Thank-you for the advice about audio, when you hear that sweet sweet stable mono in our next editing session, you will know it was because you helped us out, cheers!
That was some pretty clever masking you did there! I like the idea of being able to use a single speedlight for product shots and then compositing multiple shots from different lighting positions using layers and the lighten blend mode. Very clever. Overall though, this seems light a lot of work in post vs. just lighting it well in the first place, and might not scale to a large number of items. Still, a neat technique if you're on a budget, have limited space & equipment, as long as you have mad Photoshop skills!
Jon, thanks! I agree, there are pros and cons to both. The deeper I dive into the minimal/composite style shooting, the more side-effects like the optional drop-shadow capabilities I keep running into. It's motivating! :)
Nice tutorial brother , go easy to high end photoshoot, & same with editing easy to high end .
Thanks Siddharth
great video as always my friend
Thanks, I had a lot of fun building this with one speedlight.
i shot also many times products with one speedlight and stack them later. its excellent technique
Killer! Would love to see results in our facebook group: facebook.com/groups/workphlo
One of the best product photography videos. Thanksss for sharing!!!
Anyways, how do you know when to use a white or black mask?
Thanks! White reveals a layer, black hides it. So I start with the most sensible one!
Very nice tutorial especially on the photoshop part. Please keep up the good work and continue upload more tutorials as a legacy to others. I saw your last video was 7 months ago. Have you abandoned this channel?
great work. keep it up (Y)
Thanks brother
As always a great video, thanks. Do you use this technique only for dark objects or for colored and light objects as well?
Thanks! Great q, this will work for lighter objects as well -- absolutely! It might just be a tad trickier getting a lighter item "silhouetted".
Perfect
You're too kind. For a 20 minute composite, I really do like the potential of the techniques.
yeah. and your techniques help us a lot. thank you so much
No problem!
I really enjoy your videos. I am not yet at the stage of being able to replicate your post techniques. Instead I concentrate on what you can achieve and then commit the video itself to memory so that I can recall the complex technique from the library of videos when I want to make that shoot. Will I ever be that good at Photoshop? I doubt it, but I know where to find my expert in TH-cam. Thanks.
David, thanks for writing those nice words. I too like getting "in over my head" in tutorials, and recalling them at a future date. You're post skills will be rock solid if you keep watching!
Cheers
Your work is consistently of high quality! My question is are you using LR or PS to invert and fill in the desired background or your base frame? If so, how?
Photoshop! I create a polygonal selection and hit Ctrl+Shift+I to invert a selection.
Nice
Cheers!
You saved my wallet man. I was planning to do product photography for stock images and was thinking that I need to buy lots of gear to start it. Your videos really gave me some inspiration to start it with lower budget. By the way can I know what lens and camera body you use for your images? Thanks
I use the D7000 and 18-105 kit lens. Cheers! Thank you
@@workphlo great
Legit.
Appreciated.
I truly enjoy your tutorials. Very educational. I've started to work on product photography and your guidance had made it exciting. Before I start promoting this service, I'm building my portfolio. But, one thing I would like to know is how to promote this service once I'm ready. Any guidance?
Hey there, thanks for your kind words! Personally I'd advise building a nice portfolio and then building some initial contacts with smaller companies. It can be very rewarding, help build your portfolio further & contribute to word-of-mouth referrals. Best of luck and thanks for tuning in!
workphlo Thanks, Dustin. Will do.
I'm have a hard time to follow this, your base photo is nice black and white, is it tweaked a little in Lightroom ? mine is not that black.
Maybe my camera settings and flash power is wrong, what was yours on ?
Kent, as I mention in the post-production you need to make sure that frame is completely contrasted black and white. If your silhouette is not dark enough make sure that your flash power is not too high for that exposure, and mitigate spill light around the room (the dark card helps this as well) then crush the black levels in post!
Best of luck my friend, thanks for watching.
Where do you get the stand from to put the product on, can't find anything online
Josh Stubbs Search "baby wall plate" I had this small one custom welded though! Best of luck
Great work, but I wonder about spending this much time for ecommerce.
What's the utility of merging the layers? You basically flatten all the edits and can no longer retrieve the layers?
Can't recall, though I may have just done it for simplicity. I often retain editing capabilities using groupings as well! Cheers
Have you ever done bicycle photography? Very difficult to find tips on large product stuff
Wow, I haven't but that would be fun! I think I read a dm you've sent about this -- I will try and reply asap in that thread
How do you attach the acrylic to the stand?
Hi there! We makea custom attachment on our online store workphlo.shop
@@workphlo SOLD! I'M IN!
What lens do you use?
Saul Alvarado Morales Here I use the kit lens! 18-105
Do you do lots of composites when you do this professionally, or do you try and get it right the first time in camera, and then maybe do some extra photos in case you need to composite some things?
Also, a tip from another video I saw. If you place the object on top of a sheet of clear plexiglass/acrylic, using side clamps to hold the sheet. Then put a white reflector behind it, so you can see the reflector above and below the plexiglass, and then bounce a flash off of it, it will completely isolate your object. Check it out > th-cam.com/video/TCjOujOg8TA/w-d-xo.html
Adam, I always try to satisfy a bulk of the lighting challenges in one "main exposure" and then leave anything to compositing that is necessary. Sometimes a composite is necessary for lack of additional lights, or sometimes it's to cheat reality and do something clever.
Either way, I make sure it is pre-meditated. :) Thx for the vid!
