Okay seriously.. this is me EVERY SHOOT “Do I like this?? ..I don’t know.. “Is it cool... I don’t know?” 🤣🤣. Subscribed.
🤣 Thanks Shay!
Same here!
Love your presenting style, cool, informative and entertaining. Awesome 👏
Oh thanks a lot! So happy you're watching.
/Martin
I hereby nominate you for an Oscar for your editing style. It rocks!
Haha!! Thanks Mats. Största flabbet på kontoret idag!
Brilliant idea with the water ripple waves, and also the lighting painting. I must give this a try. Thanks for tutorial.
Thank you! Cheers!
Just awesome man... especially water vibration technique awesome...
Thanks, yes a realized after a while I needed to use the 'hammering' function on the drill machine, then you get that nice vibrations.
I love your videos, and your shooting really makes it easy to watch and learn.
Thanks Erik!
Great as always!
Thanks!
Oh my god, this guy is iconic 😅😂 lessons, combined with humour is the best way to learn 👏
Thanks! 😃
I enjoyed that tutorial, I was light painting a Chanel bottle yesterday and wish I'd seen this before, love the Trans Lum tube on the LED torch. Also the drill, I will incorporate these ideas into my work. Best wishes.
Thanks Steve!
Great video as always - thank you! 👍
Romper Stomper 👽👽👽 Thanks!!!
Hell Yeah! Fun tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. (I'm still binge watching!)
You're welcome! Thanks!
Thanks Martin!!
Thanks Alberto!
The light painting trick with a led light is a brilliant idea 💡! And the drilling of course with your action. Great video as always.
Huge thanks!!
Wow that really looks awesome
👽👽👽

Восхитительно! Спасибо вам за ваш опыт! Потрясающе изложена информация, отличная подача. Приятно смотреть! :)
Большое спасибо!
you are amazingly creative and it helps to see the home made props, which really helps. Great presentation.
Thank you so much Angelina! Happy to help.
Nothing to thank me for, you are the artist and for you to share your tricks and insides are so incredible helpful. I am still studying photography and just have taken a class in still life. Never thought it could be so hard. I really enjoy watching you how you do this as if it would be so easy. If you have more videos like this and maybe even some videos how you retouch your images would be very helpful as well.
Yes, I will start to do a follow up retouching video for all new tutorials. I have made one, go to my channel start page and scroll down to see all the playlists th-cam.com/users/botvidsson
I dond´t know what is better, your tutorial or the way that you edit your videos jajajajajja AMAZING!
Haha, thanks!

Great to hear! Right now I have loads of work and more to come so... we have to see when I will have time to record a new tutorial. Hopefully soon.
Thanks,
Martin

Самый интересный и полезный канал по предметной съемке! Спасибо вам!
Thank you, you are very very kind!
Well done
Gracie
I love your channel, it's by far the most informative channel for studio work. I just have one little comment on how the videos go. To me I think the best way to learn is by going through the steps from start to finish. You do that in most of your videos but your approach is to build everything first and see if it works then start shooting the videos and describe your setup piece by piece, but what I think helps more is to show us how you placed the lights in the first place because we learn from the mistakes more than what we learn from doing it right (like shooting the pen). Also I suggest that the post processing and photoshop part becomes part of the video even if it's in another video. It's nice to have organised stages for each work so we can learn from the whole process from start to finish.
Thanks for feedback. The problem is that the videos will be crazy long if I do it as you suggested.
What people doesn't understand is that all the videos take extremely long time to produce, at least 3-4 days.
My goal, for the future, is to have a manuscript and be more clear and straight to the point... or maybe not... then the channel might be boring... I don't know.
thank you, very nice
And thank YOU!
Plystal!!! Lmao :D Loved this tutorial... Thankyou, this gives me hope haha
Glad I could help! 😄
What you can try is gluing a speaker under the glass table and playing certain frequencies and that should give you some interesting patterns in the water
Ah, yes I seen this kind of videos and it looks very cool. Maybe next time, thanks for the tip!
You the best
Very kind!!
i really enjoy your videos. Kinda feels like bob ross with a Swedish accent.
ldyrt dyrt 😂 Second time I got that comment. Hilarious! Accent!?
Awesome! I would like to know how do you develop your orinal ideas! And ended up with so cool crazy stuffs!! Teach us how to think around the product!
Thanks for the idea! I will have that in mind next time
I watch your tutorials. You're awesome. Idea with drill, super :) I can't stop laugh. Thumb Up :)
Awesome, thank you! 😁😁😁
Awesome technique! Looks always like freestyle, but I think that's for the show. I'm addicted to your channel. Cheers & take care ;-)
Thanks man! Well, I do test a lot test shooting before I record but I always take the final shot sort of 'spontaneity' :) and live.
great video, interesting techniques, wish the perfume wasn’t so expensive
Thant's the bigest problem, to get hold of a nice bottle, ask friends!
Always awesome. Please Please do a Coffee video 🙂
It's obviously a popular theme so... have to see if I can come up with a nice idea.
Thanks Jay!
thanks
And a thanks to you!
this is great! I really enjoyed watching your video :D
Thank you Veronika. Very nice photos you have of new born babies, I'm going to be a father for the first time in a few weeks so it was very nice to see your videos. Thanks!
botvidsson awww congratulations!
That is awesome! Thank you so much for your comment! Those videos are pretty old but working on new content.
Commercial photography is my new thing I want to do next. 😃
Thanks! Sound great that you explore new areas of photography. I started out with portraits and then one day I said to myself: Now I'm going to start shoot for watch magazines and... now I do 😃 Like me, I think you have to be a bit naive and happily ignorant and just go for it.
Every photographer needs to be like a bumblebee. The laws of aerodynamics proves they can't fly, but they don't know it so... they just fly 😉
Exactly you named it right 😃
I love commercial beauty and I already had paid campaigns so I feel I should open my wings little more now include the products. And put together portfolio and just try... I would like to find me an agent. Do you have one? You should recommend me one.
Wow, well done you! I had an agent, here in Stockholm, Sweden until recently but I choose to go on my own. Off course the best would be to have a great agent, but until I find one I'll go on my own. (Or someone finds me) 😉
cool
favourites Thanks!
Can you do a gear rundown for us? I'm just getting into product photography and it would be a great help! Love your videos!
Thanks man! I will have that in mind.
THE MOST DIFICULT ONE TO TRY HERE hahahah thanks for sharing it man!
Thanks man!
Man, you are like the only person on the internet that has amazing product photography tutorials. I consider you as one of my teachers. Mad respect from me 🙏 .
.
Oh, on another subject: would you love to answer a few questions regarding a watch shoot that I'm currently shooting? I would love to know a few tips about lighting up the small brand logo inside the watch's face. How could I contact you so that I can show you the pictures?
Thanks! Best thing you can do is to post and ask for advice in my Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/botvidsson
Hopefully me or someone else will give you some good tips.
i do like this old coffe man haha
Great! ☕️
Light Years Ahead !! Your creativity and explanation on each individual component puts you in another level! Lets connect for an interview. I will pm you
Sounds great! martin@botvidsson.se
Good sense of humour. Do you remove thoese white part around the bottle with PS?
Thanks! Yes I clean up a lot in Photoshop. Probably I used the clone stamp for the parts around the bottle.
Great video like always and with it's own style which stands out from the crowd!! I think with a higher edge of the "pool" and a reflective paper or similar (of course water resistant) under the bottle you would have achieved a similar result without destrying the plexi and using tons of glue :-)
Big thanks! Do you think the reflective paper would reflect back enough light... maybe. Will test next time, thanks!
At the same time, I wanted the bottle not to lay flat, now it's kind of "down in a hole", well well. Thanks for the tip!
@@botvidsson Thanks for your reply. It's a good question if it'll reflect enough, maybe should be a small mirror. I'll give it a try when I find a nice profume bottle.
That was great, please think about add the postproduction process to your vids! Regards
Next time, promise!
Thanks. 👽
Can you also do your photoshop workflow? This is something thats always disregarded from photoshoots. Its either the shoot or the editing but never both
Yes I know, I will have that in mind in the future. At the same time I try not to do that much retouching in Photoshop, only on this photo. BUT... I will start releasing retouching videos. I HAVE TO! 👽
❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
😃
i would guess the Plystal :) light should be without the diffusion material to get harder edges and stronger illuminated surfaces on the crystal part ... :) i like your funny style and editing on the whole process . WELL DONE !
Thanks 👽 Yes, and that's what I ended up using, the super small LED flashlight. Much better and looks more beautiful.
great!
What are you using to keep the water in on top? Is it glue as well?
Yes, I think it's glue.
How about taking a glass or plexiglass glass plate and stick a piece of black paper underneath with some tape. In the black paper you can cut a hole or a pattern or whatever you like. That way you don't have to drill or cut a hole in the plexiglass.
Wow... that's smart! But you know, all for the show 👽😉
yeah, that`s what I do normally :D
I'm not understanding what your saying here in how this works with a solid black piece of plexiglass?
Actually, I just purchased a piece tempered glass, 5'x3'x3/8" from a glass shop for $20.00 US, It was a scrap piece he had around, I'm going to try using the black paper with a hole and see how that works. I'm looking for some heavy black construction paper that won't crease real easy, Nothing so far.
i decided to do the same project as you did here, same perfume bottle, but when i lay my bottle at the same angle you laid your bottle in the hole, i have a black line across the fonts on the front of the bottle....did you empty your bottle before shooting it? how did you not get that same line from the fluid level going across the fonts?
I did not empty but it was not full, maybe that was it.
haha so funny man :)
😃
for the wave of water i feel we could have used glycerin and made the wave lines more bold and thicker using a stick
I have a bottle of glycerin, I will do some tests. Thanks for the tip.
Martin hi. I have noticed sometimes you don't shoot at the lowest ISO. can you explain why you're at 400 for the shot?
Sometimes I push the ISO because I need to freeze action, the Profoto D2 flashes have the fastest shortest flash duration on lowest power, that's why I need to push the ISO to be able to have 1/200 shutter and F8 or something like that.
Hi Botvidsson. You work miracles with your video's. Awesome!!!!! I would like to give you and idea. You do not have to make a hole in the plexiglass. Use transparant glass or plexiglass and use black paint under. Do not paint the spot underneath the bottle. You might be amased.
Thanks for the tip. The only reason why I cut a hole was that I wanted the bottle to be down in the hole.
@@botvidsson Thanks a lot for letting me know. It does make a difference.!
How did u make a hole in the Plexi glass
I think I used a power drill, many small holes.
What stand, tripod, you use there for horizontal, overhead shooting ? :)
I think I just used a c-stand with an attached ball-head for the camera...
@@botvidsson thank you for the tip :)
Hi love your video, can you send me a link from where I can buy savage plastic as not available in India. Or does it have any other name. Any alternative for the same? Expecting a quick reply,.. Cheers
Just click the link under any video www.amazon.com/shop/botvidsson (Top row in the middle)
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the swift reply.. Appreciate your support 😊
Is it possible to do this with one light and then composite after?
Yes, absolutely.
Just do a layer mask in Photoshop and mask in the bottle light after. Also the "water light" separately.
zurich again.... Martin, i got the Idea :) Industrial Fan, use a PET or Plexy glass lets say 6mm ... warm the place you need the object. then Push the object into the soft plexi. You will have either just a whole or the perfect shape to hold your object (underground) ...to fill water in not is not a problem...its still transparent and with some sprayed mask you can make the rest black ... :)
Great tip man!
Can you do a tutorial for old fashion cocktail moody shot
Maybe, do you have a reference photograph so I understand the style?
botvidsson I tried adding a link from Pinterest but it doesn’t accept
Hi, links are not accepted in the comments I guess. You can always send an email to info@botvidsson.se
i WILL STICK WITH YOU BRUV
Good choice man!
Looking good one thing I now see is the product is not looking as should be I mean the perfume liquid was kind of light yellow now changed completely to different colour so if that client requested like this then it is no problem but for the market this will be an issue
Yes I boost colors in post, enhance the product a bit. Very normal thing to do.
@@botvidsson thank you 🙏
Martin, are you going to do a Post Process video on this?
Did not plan that but now when you mention it... maybe. :)
@@botvidsson Great! Just curios, I'm one of those curios types, LOL. What did you use to put around on the table to create for the water to stay and not leak out. Did it work good, would you do it differently now?
@@LeonKolenda I used glue from a hot gun. On the top of the plexi board it works ok but not under. I think it would be better to use something stronger like super glue or something.
Yes photoshoots can be noisy & destructive too
Indeed! 🤣
when will u post a new video.
Right now I have a lot of photography work ahead which means the channel will suffer a bit. BUT! I have a new video ready to be published, followed by a separate retouching video. It will be posted soon... hold on! 👽
@@botvidsson cant wait will be waiting.
这是一个看了能笑出声的教程，哈哈哈哈。
In a good way I hope
Hello! Im a long time viewer and im rewaching a lot of your videos now. I was just wondering, can you start to record all your editing? That way you can speed it up and post it as a sort of "speedart/ speededitig" video :) I would love to see that! I think i would learn a lot form observing your prosess :) Sorry for dårlig engelsk.
Thanks! Well, the retouching videos are not popular at all if you look at the view count, they only drag my channel down so I will choose only a few shoots that I will make retouching videos for. Sorry about that 😃
@@botvidsson Aha, i see! Thats too bad. Do you ever think of making gear-related videos? Or a studio tour? Talking about all the small stuff like c-stands, clamps and so on...You really inspired me to get in to product photography and i have been trying a lot over the last few days. I have a 1dx ii and a 24-70 right now, but very little grip/flash stuff and thinking a lot about what i should buy. (I work as a freelancer and hope to "invest" in some useful gear)
Wow, that's a fantastic camera and a great lens, will work for products, especially at 70mm.
I have actually done a few videos on gear and stuff, but that videos are only for the Coffee Supporters, sorry about that.
A studio tour is a great idea, need to clean up first though....
@@botvidsson alright, sounds like i need to become a coffiesupporter x) Haha!
If I join the coffee thingy, will you review some images of mine?
Absolutely!
@@botvidsson thats rad!
I was trying to figure out why you were lighting it through your coffee. So confusing, you know?
Then I allowed for perspective and my confusion was over.
hehe, yes you have to imagine the video in 3D...
I know I'm wildly late to the party, but could one not obtain the same effect of the shite hole and light from the bottom... by putting duct tape on the back of the perfume bottle?
Sorry I don't follow, tell me more
@@botvidsson
No worries. Haha, I didn't expect a response on this, given how long it has been. In any case, when laying the perfume bottle down, with its front facing up, if you were to put that silver duct tape on the back of the bottle, the light passing through the lavender-colored perfume, would then project a lavender tint onto the duct tape on the back. However, when it hits the silver-colored tape, the silver color reflects the light back through the lavender-colored perfume and into the lens, giving it a heavily lavender-colored sheen, which overpowers the silver color and together, give it a "Lit up" appearance, or a lighted one, at the least. Not sure if I'm articulating this right, but I'm sure you know what I'm getting at.
Ok, thanks for the tip. However, I think it will not be that bright and secondly I think you need a lot of power to lit up the duct tape, or have you tried it yourself? Please share! 😃
Idea No.1 :) instead of the plexi...why not use glass spray it from one side. and scratch a whole in the needed size? (carpet knife blade). You can then always again spray it for the next shape you need...
Also a nice PVC frame can be glued on it that will actually hold ...not so on plexi.
Don't know if I understand 100% what you mean but I want the perfume bottle to be half way down in the water, that's why I needed a hole. Like a small pool 😀
@@botvidsson ah ok then my idea is nothing for underground work :)
@@argentum_on_glass Glass spray sounds interesting though... never heard about that
@@botvidsson me neither but i will try it soon... and i guess to spray over, will work find for a next shape of "light hole" ...
You could have bought a transparent plexiglass put black chart paper made cut out of perfume and light from under
Yes would be easier but I didn’t have one and I wanted the bottle to be down in the hole in an angel.
@@botvidsson ❤️❤️ ohh now I understand better 👍
The following is the translation software, translation of my paragraph, please bear in mind：
Hello, I am a Chinese girl, one of your 3000 subscribers. The world is big, but in my limited horizon, every time your creativity, bring me visual surprise. I cherish every single video you have, even in the comments section where only the text appears, I don't want to miss the content. Of course, with the help of translation software. Fortunately, it can do it for me. However, even more difficult is video without subtitles, I often need to repeatedly watch, think and guess. Because listening to translation is a harder challenge. If you can see my message, can you consider adding subtitles to the important contents of video in the future, so that I will feel happy to gain more. thank you。@ china beijing
Hello Cici! Thanks a lot for your kind words. Makes my happy to read your comment.
Don't know if it is different in your country but here in Sweden you can always click the CC button below the video and then you will get auto subtitles generated, like this: download.botvidsson.se/trans.jpg Maybe that will help a bit 😀
Big big thanks again!
/Martin
Dear botvidsson: I find it , thank you very very much, I will always care you 。 good luck ，keep good health
S I C K
😄
OMG))) Girls shoot in a different way, you could easily use a hairdryer ->> why drilling?)))
I don't believe for one second that men and women photograph in different ways.
Drilling give vibrations and air give... air waves. Two different effects. I also use canned air when I'm after that effect.
This was very painful to watch.
In what way?
instead of making a hole you can stick a piece of mirror/white paper on the back side of the bottle. This should do the job. great videos btw
How? Tell me more. Thanks! (The bottle is in the water...)
@@botvidsson the paper will reflect the light falling on the bottle from top. This will give backlight to the liquid in the bottle. Just cut a piece of paper or mirror and put it behind the bottle
Then you’ll need a lot of power to lit that up, I have a very soft light from top. Also, the bottle it under water down in the hole. But sure, I will get that a try.
