This was incredibly helpful!!! I am shooting skincare products all the time with round and specular plastic/glass containers and kept having such a friggin hard time with highlights while creating the shadows they want.
Wow!!! Really great! I had this problem and i didn't know how to to make shoot like this. It really will help me in the future! So simple and so genius!!!
Hi, Alex! Very cool and useful video. I'm working from many years with polarized light to shoot jewelery, art works reproductions and products. Thanks!
Is polarizing film the same for photography an led tv screens? I have 24/18 inch led panels and I need a sheet/film for it. The only films for that size I’ve seen were for tv screens. Any advice? Thanks
This is a really usefully technic. I found some polarized film for computer monitor on web. Are they the same thing? But most of them are linear polarizer only. Where i can found something like your? Really nice video, thx
Imagine how much light you’re losing through that polarizing gel. 15 years working in a commercial product studio and I’ve never seen this used. I suspect it’s going to stay that way.
Nowadays Screens and TV's work with RGB (Red - Green - Blue ) but in earlier days the photocameras were also capable of imaging Yellow my friend told me. How come it ?
hello thanks for your ideas and for your tutorial. I have a circular Hoya polarizer; what kind of film do you have to buy to remove the reflections? linear or circular? can you indicate a link for the purchase? thank you
CLP on a camera, and linear on the light. Circular on the light will work too, but I found better results (and less expensive) to use linear PL on a light.
@@photigy I found that linear polarizer sheet have different angle (depending of the model : 0°,45°, 90° or 135° linear pol), do you know what does it mean ?
you have to adjust exposure accordingly to cut off ambient lighting. if you use strobe lighting, set shutter speed to x-sync of your camera. if you use continuous lighting, turn off all other lightings in your room, leaving only lighting that use for the shot.
Regarding polarized light, if you had spent a little time talking about theory, you would have made more sense. Fortunately for me, I studied physics and so it's quite familiar to me. For someone with no background at all, however, I'm afraid your explanations would offer little insight. I would have been confused myself without my training and experience, and I actually have a bit of a knack for such things. You have so many good things to say and share. Einstein said we don't understand a subject if we can't teach it to our grandmothers. Well, that's Einstein. The converse is, we will learn and understand something if we teach it. Thank you. Oh, also, you're a way better photographer than me
скоріш за все ви використовуєте не круговий а лінійний фільтир для світла томущо за 15 баксів такий круговий фільтр не купити якщо взагалі такі виготовляють), чим відрізняється круговий від лінійного? круговий фільтр це тей самий лінійний фільтр тільки з чотирьох хвиловоюпластиною яка стоїть під кутом 45 від лінійного фільтра, яка деполяризує світло. для чого потрібно ж де поляризувати світло якщо нам потрібно його поляризувати? так от деполяризувати світло потрбно після поляризації (коли забрали все лишне) щоб в обєктив камери світло попало кругове, це потрібно для того щоб автофокус працював правильно і все) в призмі поляризоване світло не так переломлюється і деякі система автофокусування можуть давати збій. тому для світла можна спокійно використовувати лінійний фільт і нічого не поміняється, світло краще або гірше не стане) але дякую що показали цей метод, довго ламав собі голову де взяти таку пластину CLP фільтру, поглинуввся в фізику і зрозумів що не потрібно на світло це) дойшов з фільтрами до квантового парадоксу діаграми вена і ще багато чого цікавого) дякую за цей метод)
Love the videos and others on using white background for standard E-Commerce site and advertisement. Great work!!
I am glad you used in the past Pro Camera/DLSR/Mirrorless for your classes. Thanks for student demo and reviews of product photography.

just wow. this probably helps me a lot in future!!! thank you very very much!
Awesome, glad to hear this, Claudio!
thank you very much for your class.very interesting
Thanks for your video. Great ideas!

Very Good Content. tnks!
Thank you sir! Thanks from VietNam
amazing. thanks so much from chile

How do you make one of these tables?

Hi Justin, why not giving it a try? ;)
So what's the point? You successfully eliminated the unwanted reflections, but obscured most of the subject in the process.
The selected image (selected effet) can be used later in a layer compositing technique

Олексiй Дякую!
Nice video - looks like very fun.
What is the type of plastic you were referring to in the diffuser?
Thanks!
i have the same doubt , what is this savage plastic ?
I am looking for the circular polarizer sheet here in the UK. Does any one know where to buy this in Europe?
Did you find it???
Yes, I did in the end :-)
Can you send me the link where you got it? I haven't found it here in Italy :(
Jason Spoor I'll be curious to know where you find it and what brand it is?
www.edmundoptics.co.uk
If you're using a linear polarizer on your light, can it go on the inside of a softbox or does it need to go on the outside of the diffusion?
Should always be outside - regardless of what kind of polarizer you use. When polarized light will pass the diffuser it will loose polarization.
@@photigy thank you!
From where we can buy the polarizer (polarizer sheet) for the light ?
You can find them in different shapes and sizes on amazon ;)
Родной русский акцент ))))) класс, спасибо

Maior ADV Agenzia di Comunicazione linear polarizer film will work. Google it and you’ll find many online stores

@@photigy perfect. Amazing reply. Thanks

when i try to photgraph a bottle its surface reflects all my room in it. What should I do?
you have to adjust exposure accordingly to cut off ambient lighting. if you use strobe lighting, set shutter speed to x-sync of your camera. if you use continuous lighting, turn off all other lightings in your room, leaving only lighting that use for the shot.
