    Print gradients on 2 pieces of A2 acetate going from white, to clear, to black, and then you can go out and buy plain A2 sheets of any colour card, place the gradients on them, and you have a gradient in any colour. The acetate prints are relatively inexpensive £4, $5, €4.3, but if you take care of them then you can use them for years, and all you have to do is get a Pantone colour of what you are shooting, go to a paper supplier online, enter that number and they'll have perfectly matching coloured card with you in a couple of day for pennies.

    A really nice trick has blown our minds! We used to put only the white boards when shooting a product in light mood. I got to try this out! And yes, I'm with black gradient at the front. Thanks Botvidsson! Can't wait the see the next one! It looks like a massive with the new product coming up.

    Martin, I am learning SO much from you. I'm self taught and your videos really help me on my journey to be a product photographer. I actually just got my first professional job to shoot beauty products long term for a big company and I'm absolutely looking forward to using your advice.
    If you ever set up a Patreon account or the likes I'll be sure to leave something there, you more than earned it.

    You didn't lie, indeed it's mind blowing!! And it's done with one flash, very clean, hands down. A humble suggestion, maybe you can review (and comment) your followers photos, and maybe show how you done it if it were you (does it make sense?). Anyway, I'd love to have interaction with my guru to get inspired more, thank you for the video!

  • @photozen8398
    @photozen8398 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Amazing, and for the second look it is more natural to the eye to have the bright on the side graduating to dark to the front so the sides of the product will be in separation from the bg.and the transition in the front is smooth and not a cutoff straight black line like the first setup. Brilliant...!

    • @photozen8398
      @photozen8398 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also on the mark 11:39 when you raised the camera and looked down on the product it DID NOT show the reflection that puzzled you which was by the way always there . It only showed when the camera was low shooting horizontally likely reflecting the top edges of the two side gradient cards converging in like V shape, amazing how the reflections play with curved mirror like surfaces, it is as if you are shooting with wide zoom up converging the sky scrapers in..

    • @botvidsson

    Thanks again for the tips. I have one question for you. For product photography, and only occasional movement freezing, I thought about buying 2 D2s but I need to complete this with 2 more lights I guess. Would you choose 2 B10s, 2B1Xs, or 2 more D2s? Something else? I thought the 2 B10s would add some mobility to my setup in case I have to shoot products onsite. But I fear this could ruin my freezing motion pictures. What do you think?
    Tack så mycket!

    • @botvidsson
      @botvidsson  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      jerome macadam I would go for 4 D2 500Ws if you're into product/still life photography. They will work perfectly in studio and on site if you have access to electricity/power. They are much heavier than B10s though. You have to bear in mind that to freeze motion with the D2 you can only use low power, so it can be good to have many at the same time to up the power.
      The B10 I would go for if you shoot portraits on location or outside and need to mix with natural light.
      Finally, 2 D2s 500Ws are cheaper then 2 B10s 250Ws.

      @@botvidsson I understand, thanks for the answer. Even 4 D2s would be better than 2 D2s + 2 B1Xs in your opinion? (What I'm worried about with the D2 is the heat produced by hologene lights).

      @botvidsson  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hm, hard to say. I never used B1X but sure, it's probably nice to have 2 D2 and 2 B1X with batteries out in the forests :). Yes, if you have the modelling light on the D2s they will get super hot, not a problem for me though. @@jeromemacadam

      @@botvidsson Spare 15 minutes is enough for the whole process to go through and is incredibly easy to perform, since there's 5-6 steps. Calibrating your monitor and printer all together solves the problem i guess :)
      Also I think some of your viewers might appreciate that - people seem to have a lot of trouble getting the color and white balance right without knowing there's nothing wrong with it, but the screen setup is just f*cked up.
      Great idea with printing the gradients btw, definitely will try it one day if I get tired of playing with complex light setups. Seems like a huge timesaver, so thanks!
      I would love to see a video showing your work on a highly refractive object with multiple textures (like smooth glass cap and rugged sides) shot in high key and creating polished look with as little photoshop as possible. That always seems to be the biggest problem for me. Cheers! ;)

    Enjoyed the watch and just a thought. If it was a double gradient, going from black at both ends of the glossy paper and white in the centre then you would get the dark sides to the lid and the dark bar in the centre, but a nice shading as it curls around. Fun would then get best of both worlds. :-)
