Fantastic tip with the printed gradiant! Thank you!
You are very welcome!
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.
Great tip! Thanks!
I have been watching many photograpgers, but I stopped once I found u. Ur explanation is spot on. The best thing that I like what u do is, u r justifying each step one by one very clearly. Thank u so much for your great help for young photographers
Wow! Just wow. Thank you so much for that comment. Means a lot to hear that.
I hit the like button then I watch the video...Cheers from Greece!
That's the way to do it, thanks! 😁
those gradients at 7:50 ..... you blew my mind at that point. I just love product photography and that , that is like the biggest tip or we could say trick I ever learned! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Very very happy to hear that! Thanks!
I love the way you simplify problem/solution process by analyzing the basic concepts
Thanks man!
I never usually comment on videos but your channel is INSANE! I love the style of your videos and the way you break it down step by step. Makes it so much simpler to understand. Thank you! ☺️
Kate! Thank you very much, your comment boost me to do more videos. Hugs from Sweden 😃
Switching the gradients from light to dark was genius
Thanks!!
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.
If I'm ever in Stockholm I'll be sure to stop by and shake your hand, greetings from Berlin! Elmo
Thanks a lot, yes if you're ever in Sthlm make sure to hook me up and we will do a Subs Choice episode. I do not have a Patreon account, instead you can become a "Coffee Supporter" on my website www.botvidsson.se
This hack is amazing, other photographers would tell you "buy a subscription to our pro club to get lab lab lablaaa"
This man deserves respect and coffee :)
Ramy! Thanks man. My motto: Photography for the masses. 😃
@@botvidsson You are doing it and big thanks for this .
Mind blown!! It's one of those things that are so simple when someone tells you about it, but too clever to have actually realised it yourself! Another great tutorial. Keep it up, I'm learning so much!
Great to hear, thanks for watching!
Printed gradients -- BRILLIANT! The best product photography tip I've ever seen on TH-cam. Thank you!
Wow, thanks for the super nice comment!
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.
As always. BIG THANKS for the support!
"the world belongs to everyone, the best things in life are free" yes!

I'm a 3D artist - the enemy! - your techniques are extremely useful and they work 100% in a virtual photographic environment. Love your presentation style too. Subscribed!!
Hello enemy 😉 Happy to hear that its useful, thanks for the subs!!
one light comes out with this picture. bravo!!
Thanks you sir!
I couldn’t resist myself from appreciating, what a wonderful way to explain the tricks, bravo
Wow, thank you!
Excellent trick. I like the second version light to dark in the middle for smooth gradient. Brilliant idea!
Thank you! Cheers!
i really never skip a tutorial for you, i'm a professional photographer and you always amaze me with those techniques. i still can not believe that you only got 9k subs :( YOU ARE A MASTER
Big thanks! Well, 9K subs is probably because I upload not so often, right now I have too much photography work but when things slow down I will be back.
I'm really enjoying your content dude! It's awesome seeing your thought process, but you, as a person, seem super genuine and cool af. Never realized how much I would enjoy "simple product photos" until I had to do it. Finding your videos helped me make something I was really happy with. Oddly, happier than some of the landscape photos I took of beautiful places. Strange 😅
Thanks for your vids, and all that you share!
Thanks!
Nifty idea. I'll have to try this. I prefer the dark at the front.
Me too! Thanks! 😃
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...!
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..
Yes I'm not a bit fan of the sharp edged black strip in the center you see everywhere. Thanks!
Ah yes thanks man, good observation. I should really tweak everything a bit, my tutorials have to go fast so it's always a bit ruff :) @@photozen8398
And here is why I love TH-cam. Helped me a lot, so thank you for your time, and upload. Off to buy a better printer 😆
Great! 😄
I shoot product all the time and the paper with the gradient is genius, thank you for sharing!!
Thanks Martin! All ways are good except the once that are bad... like we say in Sweden ;)
You are the best photography teacher I see, you explore light behaviour very simple, I like you and thank you, for creating this video, unfortunately it's not easy for us to have high quality swedish lighting and modifiers in Iran, but I hope to make amazing photo and I'll send you them, I hope to surprise you :)
Great to hear Arash! Thanks a lot!
Well, you don't need Profoto flashes to take photos, light is light. Grab what you can find and just go for it.
I waiting to see you photos 😃
@@botvidsson yesss of course 👌🏻💪🏻 thank you again
Thank you, my Number 1 Mentor. It's a real pleasure to watch your tutorials 😃👍
Thanks a million! And thanks for the support! 😃
Loving the simple tips and also seeing how your studio is lit and setup
Appreciate it! Thanks.
I just want to say thank you! This particular trick just saved me time, mainly lots of time!! Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Mind = 💥💥💥
This is my favorite TH-cam channel hands down.
Mind explosion x3 That's a good.
So'oooo many little tip's in this episode, and a very nice image. Thank you.
Thanks man for watching!
Thanks a lot Martin!! Very helpful and stunning technique to deal with “metal” reflection 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks!
Super cool trick! Will absolutely use this...keep these vids coming, you rock!
I will! Thanks!
Fantastic! This will save me a lot of time on modifying the modifiers
Very good to hear!
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!
Makes totally sense, a great idea. Just need to figure out how to put it together. Thanks!
You blew my mind once again. AND made me make another cup of coffee!
Your videos are the best. So informative, creative, and humorous as well. And that retro style cycling cap is totally on point.
Thanks man. Your comment made my day!
Wow! Awesome shot. I would love to see a video about to-scale miniature car photography and creation of a backdrop to make it look like a real car. Maybe some flashlight light painting? It would be really cool to see how you handle it.
Thanks Chase, I did a car shoot actually 😁 th-cam.com/video/MLyJsHJOltA/w-d-xo.html&list=PLKr6JYwsZSnTxa3eEWep6717cyUDkFa3q&index=17
Great idea. I always use the big diffusion panels on both sides, but this gives another possibility to create the gradient. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Every time I look up your channel there's something really cool I haven't seen or tried. You make great tutorials, Martin. 👍
Makes me very happy to hear that, thanks a lot Marcel.
both the text on the front of the cosmetic product and the thickness of the glass made photography difficult. the diffuser from the dark to the open was a great idea. congratulations!
Yes if was a very odd design with the text inside, a bit complicated to photograph. Thanks!
Personally, I dont really like style of your videos. But you have my great respect for showing everything off clean and easy to understand way!
No Edge That is totally fine.
@@botvidsson I guess so.. but really, your videos helping me a lot. Your studio setup (clipping backgrounds, using "tripods" and so... Alltogether with lighting tips, use of various reflectors... Most of the things on youtube is vague and amateur... Far away from yours! ;-)
Yes that's the great thing about tutorials, everyone can always find something. Thanks!
Jeez! That gredient trick is awesome! I was thinking, maybe the issue with the text in the back showing could be resolved by placing a black paper in the back to cut the light coming from behind?
Good job!!!
I don't think the inside part is transparent so it will probably have no effect but I will absolutely try it out. Thanks for the tip!
I don’t usually comment on videos, but man that’s INSANE! You did such a great job with just 2 pieces of paper! You definitely got a new subscriber, from Italy!
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for the kind words. 😍
The mad genius strikes again - love it! Tack!
🤓 Thanks Lance!!!
You are so great, I learn a lot from you
Very happy to hear that! Thanks.
Great content. You are still one of my favorite on YT. Good job Martin :)
Big thanks, I'm very flattered.
The gradient card trick never seen this before else were awesome trick and tip. Will be trying this one out.
If you do please share!
love these vids, thanks for putting in all the hard work.
😍 Thanks!
Great tutorial. The second one is the best.
I think so too!
That’s so tricky, you are magician))) WANT MOORE VIDEOS! Your content is very unique, love it!
Huge thanks Vladimir!
I’ll use that for my next product photography work
Fantastic!
Million dollar video right here
Thanks a lot!
Awesome.. you solved my one light problem and money problem😀😀.. thank you ..
That's fantastic! Great to hear!
Wow! Amazing! I would never have thought of that. I have some really tricky skincare bottles to take pics of. This will help!
Glad it was helpful! Give it a go! 😁
What a clever technique! Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
You're the MAN!!! Always awesome and informative content. Keep crushing it!
I appreciate that!
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. :-)
That's a great variation idea of the gradient, would probably look amazing.
Excellent channel and great to see you just having fun in the process too. Got yourself a new follower.
Very welcome, happy you dropped by!
Absolutely love your videos mate, gonna print some gradients this week
Justin Tui Fantastic to hear. Good luck and big thanks for watching.
Once again great approach to this products!
Next time try to recicle some print material from the studio to avoid print two new papers.
The bottle have gold letters and a embossed logo?
Thanks Ricardo! No, this is another bottle, a gin - just released... Absolutely super beautiful and cool 💥
Gin! Nice!!!
Big Thanks for everything you have given us.
It's my pleasure. 😁
my mind is blown!! Thanks for the awesome tip!!!
That's great!
I can't help but say "Niiiiiiiiiice" after watching your videos

Excellent trick!
Thanks John!
I believe that the secret of the video was exactly between 8:33 - 8:36 I just did not get the secret message. This guy does not give his tips and tricks that easily. Kudos!
Hahaha 😝
😁
Hehe 😄
Great explanation for this set. Only could be more short video I think
Thanks man! Yes, agree. Way too long, hard to keep it down without script, working on it. 😎
Wow, difficult shot. Love the gradients on both sides of the product!
Great!
Hey, I've only just recently come across your channel, have to say its great! Thanks for the content!
Hey, thanks!
Badass as expected. Thanks.
😎 Tack Mats!

Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic superb photographing and so gooood videos. I like your works and style very much!
Thank you very much!
Amazing job !!
Thanks Laureen, you are very kind. 😃
Thanks again for this video Martin. And thanks for putting back the fantastic Pentax 67II. Can you make a product photo from your Pentax?
Well the 67II absolutely deserves it owns tutorial 😃
Oh yeah, in visual arts gradients work the way monosodium glutamate works in our food 😍
Jakob D 😂 I think we have a new T-shirt print. Ah! Now I know what I will do, I will open a T-shirt store with the best sub comments! I’m totally doing it! Thanks man!
Really enjoyed this episode!
Big thanks!
Very cool trick! We'll see you... morgen! :D
😃🙏🏻 Thanks!
I will thank you eternally.
Very kind, thanks!
It's very instructive! Thanks
You are very welcome!
great vid mate, maybe when youre shooting a new photo you can put up a picture of the last one taken to see a direct comparison on screen
Yes, I will try to remember that. Thanks!
Thank a lot for the great content! You Rock!!!
Thanks so much!
i love the way you shoot photographs let me know how to shoot best product shoot with cheap lights
Thanks. What is chip lights? LEDs?
@@botvidsson He meant cheap. :/
You know, it doesn't really matter if you use cheap or expensive flashes, it's just light 😃
But I Want To Increase Quality Of My Photographer With Simpex Led Lights And I Also Want To About Fashion Photography Smoothness
@@DramaticGroup You can't use LED lights, you need to get flashes.
Both are great, love it and gonna use it in my cosmetics product shhots :) I need to do some hero shoots for key visuals and this works great :)
Happy to hear that! Thanks
I liked the second version, dark front fading into light at the back, looked just like a magazine ad.
Me too! 😁
