I love this vid a lot! I'm still trying to get away from thinking what I like or what I'm doing is "wrong". This vid reassures me that sometimes something might not be wrong, just different!
Thank you for all your videos, inspirations etc. I'm huge fan of yours! I discovered that grid with diffusion is the best setup for away shoots in restaurant etc. as I don't have to take any softbox, only very handy stuff as I use big 5 in 1 reflector/diffuser and not a rolled paper :D and the light quality is amazing!
keep em coming! :D great video as always ️ I really like the diffusion+reflector combo look, i think it would be easier to manipulate the highlights and shadows in post, but then it's all a matter of style.
I also like the setup of the reflector with the grid and tracing paper diffusion in front of the light the best. But I also quite like using a second light on the other side of the food in combination, also with a grid, but with no diffusion and some barn doors to create some hard, specular highlights on the top of the food in the shadow area.
Softbox at 1ft is the clear winner for me. I don't need a lot of moodiness or depth in my YT thumbnails, I just need bright and clear photos of the subject without too much contrast. That's just my needs and preference though. There's no right or wrong answer.
I do love light through large diffuser. it gives the most control. But that is another 3 equipments you have to carry. One heavy duty lightstand, one arm that hold the diffuser And the diffuser material itself. And depend on which diffuser you chosse it can get heavy and big. For on location shoot, I hate carrying more stuffs and it takes more time to set up and adjust. If you shoot in studio, forget what I say here😂. So I just condense down to softbox. One lightstand one softbox, easy to move around on location. Faster set up. Less control but can still produce great result.
It's an overhead camera rig. I have a video on it, but if you would like to buy it you can shop out the parts in my Store in the description. I have a full parts list at the link
Have you done a video on continuous lighting for food videos? I’m wanting to “dabble.” So it has to be really good but, perhaps, not the best (most expensive. Any direction you may have to sort this would be most appreciated.

You needed one combination as I see it ...? Diffusion paper and the softbox - that must be just Wow !!! 🙂Or will that be just 2 soft? Thanks for the Video - it's a keeper :-)
im curious, where do you get your backgrounds and your wood boards. Can you maybe make a video on that. If you did them yourself, can you do a DIY video? Thank you for the awesome content. Looking forward to more amazing vids.

20Deg. Grid + Diffusion at 3-6 feet feels like a great combo for me. Great information and content, thank you.
Welcome back!!

For over 10yrs I use recflector and difiusion from Rosco.
Thanks so much, great video. Appreciate you taking the time to create all the examples for us.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
Great job man!! this is what we need to know about lighting!
Thank you so much!!
I don’t say this lightly. This might be the best explainer on TH-cam. Well done.
You are going to the top. Keep up the clean value content!
That's the plan! Thanks !
Thanks for this video - really great to see the subtle differences. I bought some new grids so will try them out on my next shoot!

this is a great setup
Thanks for this quick tutorial. Very helpful.

Wow! What a lot of work to produce this video! But THANK YOU for your effort. I learned so much. Looking !forward to more

Great video! What diffusion do you use? I couldn't find it listed in your description/amazon list. Would love to know!
I use roll paper from Superior Seamless, I think you can find it on my Amazon shop page or just search the brand name
Great work.

It's an overhead camera rig. I have a video on it, but if you would like to buy it you can shop out the parts in my Store in the description. I have a full parts list at the link
@@skylerburtphotos thank you very much. i will try to find it in my country, Indonesia.
Thank you for your great video 😁
Fantastic video! Everything I never learned in my expensive NYC private art school.
I didn't learn much in expensive Cali private photo school either, don't feel bad.
He's really back
Awesome! What was your camera settings for the soft box & diffusion??
I can't really remember, but the diffusion paper I use cuts the amount of light by about 2 stops
I love your content! I have been learning to work with Stella Reflex II hybrid lights and this was really helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
how did you make the photos go straight to the Ipad?
Excellent video tks!
I am tethered from my camera to my PC then I am mirroring my PC to my tablet.
skyler you have tether your ipad or you are mirroring the screan of your computer?
Mirrored from my computer
Great video 👊🏻 Have you used The Profoto A2 for foodphotography and what are your thoughts? 🤔☺️
I haven't.
Have you done a video on continuous lighting for food videos? I’m wanting to “dabble.” So it has to be really good but, perhaps, not the best (most expensive. Any direction you may have to sort this would be most appreciated.
Try godox or aperture anything above 150w.
where to buy that head tripod?
Would you be interested in trying Halumin? It’s a new kind of lighting modifier for food and small products.
keep em coming! :D great video as always ❤️
I really like the diffusion+reflector combo look, i think it would be easier to manipulate the highlights and shadows in post, but then it's all a matter of style.
Thanks and I prefer that setup for natural looking light
Hi,just to ask,what diffuser paper is that?
It comes in a roll you can find in my amazon store
You needed one combination as I see it ...?
Diffusion paper and the softbox - that must be just Wow !!! 🙂Or will that be just 2 soft?
Thanks for the Video - it's a keeper :-)
Whichever you're thinking is correct
Nice tips 👍🏼 appreciate your efforts
Could you please show more tips on lighting specially for stopmotion and how to avoid flickering
im curious, where do you get your backgrounds and your wood boards.
Can you maybe make a video on that. If you did them yourself, can you do a DIY video?
Thank you for the awesome content. Looking forward to more amazing vids.
I have a few videos on my channel already on making backdrops. th-cam.com/video/Ib8tUEWlrPc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you. I found them after posting the comment. Thank you for your awesome videos. I’m trying to transition from Real estate photos to product.
octabox with sl60 godox is one of the cheapest ways to get into food photography
Condensed perfection...
20Deg. Grid + Diffusion
