one of the rare photographers who trusts camera more than photoshop... learnt a lot..thank you
Wow, thanks!
instablaster...
This guy is funny as hell
🤣👍🏽
You take us through the thoughts of a photographer when it comes to depth of the field, exposure, flash, light painting. thanks
Thank you so much for watching.
Just found you! Got yourself a new follower. Will certainly go true all your vids. Amazing work. Very inspiring! Great tips. Thx for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks and welcome
It was weirdly entertaining. hahah. You're hilarious. Great tutorial!
Thank you! 😁
I just found your channel tonight and watched 4 episodes. All were great. Your style is obviously very Swedish. You get to the point with minimal distractions but good humor. I'm now a total fan. Keep it up, please!
Happy you found the channel! Thanks Harvey!
I really enjoyed your video, its very casual and that makes it very appealing ! Good job
Thanks man!
I'm so glad I discovered this channel. Out of the hundreds of photography channel I have invested my time in, yours has truly taught me the most in every video. Thank you and hello from India.
Big big thanks! Very happy to hear that!
I cracked up during that vid.. love the laid back style
Thanks man!
Walking around your studio trying to get the whiskey bottle photographed in focus was cracking me up, and I knew at that moment this "How-To" video was going to be 24 Carat Gold. The random use of orange gels is Great, and you take us through the logical steps of making a terrific picture!
Thanks a lot Jason, really appreciate your kind comment.
Great stuff dude! Thanks for making this video along with many other amazing contents. Have learned so much from you. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot for the support!
Gotta love the humor!! Amazing video
Appreciate it!
Awesome video, beautiful whisky 🥃🙏
Thank you! Cheers!
Subscribed! I find your way of instruction to be informative as you experiment the way I would (without your guidance) and your humor keeps me fully engaged :)
Wow, you are very kind. Happy to hear I can inspire.
Absolutely the best "how to photograph a bottle" video I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot of them.
Wow, thanks a lot, this is the first video tutorial I recorded. Means a lot to me that you likes it.
Man you are a 'litttle god' as we say in Greece (theoulis!!) Love your video explanation and thank you for the effort you put in all this
Wow, thanks!
working my way through your videos and loving them. I love that idea of the light painting. I was trying to shoot a wine bottle and could not light the label nicely to safe my life. The light painting would probably have done the trick. Guess I need to go get some wine....
Often it's the simple tricks that works, just a soft light painting with a flashlight. Done!
Go grab some wine 😁
i love you method of showing your stuff
Big thanks man!!
great stuff - actually you made the product shot look more exciting than reality
Thanks John, very kind
Good work Martin, the result is amazing!
Thanks Jonas!!
It's a very good whisky by the way. I enjoyed trying my hand at blending at the Nikka Whisky Miyagikyo Distillery in Sendai, Japan. The tutorial was also helpful!
Sounds great! Thanks!
Excelent! BTW you look like you drink one glass of Japanese Whiskey ;) I love your videos!
Hehe, well I just LOVE whisky. Just got back from Scotland. 😃
I like the finish product shoot, looks dramatic
Big thanks!
Nice work, and tutorial, and fun way to showing to us. Thank you!!!
Svetomir Slavov Thanks a lot for your support!!
I'm really impressed. thank You.
Dilip Kumar You’re welcome. And thank you!
The irony of Mad Men playing in the background is not lost on me :-). An excellent walk through and talk through to get the final product shoot. Thank you so much.
😁 Thanks a million!
Really good, informative video which shows the thought process well. The added humour is great and helps to make the whole process fun instead of boring.
Thanks a lot Paul!
I love your English struggles 😂😂😂 it is translucent, btw.
Haha, yes, I guess I got confused cuz the Savage call it Translum...
That was great watching all the elements come together.
Thanks Rick!
Thanks for sharing the process, learned allot from you!
Thanks for watching!
I recently found your channel and really enjoy your tutorials. Your cheeky edits like the quick "flash" in this video and the retro screen shots during bloopers are brilliant, too. Thanks ; )
To get comments like this make all the difference, just make me want to make more stuff. Thanks.
I'm glad to know there's a two-way give and take. When you make more stuff I'll definitely be watching and taking notes.
Great resource, you've earned another subscriber and I'll be watching all your videos, you should run some workshops
Thanks Steve! I do some workshops but nothing planned this year so far, we'll see.
Just discovered your channels and after watching several, I subscribed. Your cinema skills are awesome, as well as your ability to indicate the full thought process with both successful, as well as failed, attempts to achieve the desired end image. Compressing the real time needed to achieve the results into a smaller time package, while maintaining the most relevant events, demonstrate the full complexity of steps to obtaining a fine image. Last but not least, all this occurred in a relative tiny studio space loaded with extraneous objects, which replicates the kind of environment found in most viewers shooting space. What is not readily evident to viewers is the added amount of time and effort you must put into editing your videos to the final result. You should also document that process at some time. Thanks for sharing your work.
Charles, that was incredible to read. A big thanks for your kind words and support.
Only came across your channel today. I am hooked. Good luck.
Big thanks Kreative Ways!
You are awesome.
No you are! 👽
why did you opt to use flash and not lower the shutter speed to get more light in?
First, I wanted to use one flash only because many people have only one. Also, it's hard to use a flash and get that small lightsourse on the label.
It would be great to see your thought process when you process and compose the images as well!
Love your videos!
Thanks a lot, I will have that in mind.
yes it's bloody good one
👽
Perfect! Thanks!
👍🏻
Amazing work and presentation brother
Thanks a ton
Fun and informative video.
Thanks for the support Charles!
Väldigt trevliga bilder! Är det möjligt att få se lite mer retusch? Alltid kul att se hur tankegångarna/teknikerna är.
Hallå. Numera gör jag alltid en retusch-video efter varje tutorial. Finns två so far. Så det kommer. Supertack!!
Fantastic tutorial, and I love your style of videos too!! How'd ya like the Whisky? I brought the same bottle back from Japan!
Thanks! Unfortunately I gave the bottle away, have not tried it. Probably very good thou. 👽
I like your video thank you so much much, you help me a lot!
Really happy to hear the. THANKS!
Amazing video you just got a love it!
Thank you so much!
thanks you bro
You're welcome!
Great video. I like that you try something, evaluate and then find and elaborate improvements
I appreciate that! Thanks
Can we send you a photo to get your opinion on it and possibly your advice on improving it??
Absolutely, just email me at info@botvidsson.se.
Beautiful work!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing stuff. You should do one on how to shoot cigars. One without smoke and one with smoke. Thx
Great idea, just need to go to Cuba first...
Great shot right out of camera. That`s what I call a Pro Level.
Huge thanks Sunnygirl!
Splendid! 👍
I love that word! Thanks.
Do you have favorite lenses that you use for most of your product shots ?
Yes Gregory, 97% I use the Canon 100mm Macro lens.
When shooting with my Hasselblad Medium format camera I use the 120mm.
See all SUB'S CHOICE gear here: www.botvidsson.se/gear
You have a great approach when recording your demos..Gets one to think outside the box. Super stuff and easy to follow.
Big thanks man!!
Hi, man.
Thanks for the videos. Great stuff here... I have 2 questions, none technical :)
1) inicially the bottle was standing on a piece of gear that is, by its turn, fixed in place by the C-stand. What's that gear - if you still know it, of course?
2) in another of your videos you "glued" the Translum to a frame that also is fixed by the C-stand... and it's very hard to find something like that in Europe (in the US is a piece of cake). Can you direct me to where you bought it?
Thanks again for your videos.
Hi Gustavo and thanks!
1) It's a baby plate by Avenger, normally you attach it to a wall, see more on my gear page: botvidsson.se/gear
2) In Sweden it's very easy to find, where do you live? It's just a regular KAPA/CAPA/Foam board that you normally attach photo prints on. Should be easy to find in your local craft store. You can see on my gear page where I buy mine in Sweden, Stockholm.
Thanks again for your support! :)
Ps. You can always go to eBay/amazon and search for 'one side self stick foam board´
Hi, Martin.
Thanks for the answers. I'll give that Avenger baby a try as soon as I can find some company that sends it to Portugal (descrimination on the air!!!! LOL. That stuff ships EVERYWHERE, but here). The other item I mentioned was shown in this video at 6:40min... it doesn't seem like foam board to me, mate. Looks more like some metal frame with a spigot at the bottom... Anyway, thanks for your kind replies.
Thanks for your efforts to transfer your knowledge to us, it is very much appreciated. I need more details on the Translum sheets that you usually use.
Amer ABUZAID Thanks a lot. My pleasure! You can find all SUB'S CHOICE gear here: www.botvidsson.se/gear
I want to mention that this translum plastic is very thick. Eats light, I can recommend the medium variant as well.
Hi Martin, most whiskey bottles have a label on the back that is interfering with the final result I am getting. Any suggestions for a work around besides, scrapping the label off? Thank You!
Hi. Yes it can be a problem, it's always best to take it off. Unfortunately I do not have a hack for that, sorry.
Thank You Sir for your reply! I love your tutorials, your presentation style! Just wish I had all the equipment too :) Thanks a lot for sharing your skills with us.
loved the video and yer chararactor and that you dont try to deny that im an ignorant moron
🤣 Thanks a million!
yeah !
Indeed!
When you used the torch for the label, how did you not get any harsh light on the glass from it ?.
JA_NPH I did not hit the glass with the flash light.
@@botvidsson Cheers.
@@Jay-if9dr It was only on the label and I kept moving the flashlight to get the smooth light effect.
I must say you had an odd way of doing things...but just got it great in the end!!! thumbs up for this!!
Thanks. I think it's a good idea to show all the misstakes along the way. More how it is in real life for all photographers :)
Absolutely agree big brother!! I felt I could easily relate to the video and the process...BTW in case you are in facebook then do check my page "Buddha Padhi" and be critical of my shots!!
What's that thing you placed the bottle on? I called my local glass guy (Ekerö) the other day to ask about black plexiglass. They wanted 800 SEK for a 20x20cm piece.
Hallå Mats, it's a wall plate from Manfrotto, look here for the exact name: www.botvidsson.se/gear
Black plexi is expensive, but that sounds crazy. There are companies that are specialists on plexi and if you're lucky they have "spillbitar" you can buy 'cheap' eg 1m x 60cm = 300kr. Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the company I found, it was around Arninge-hållet. If my memory comes back I will get back to you.
This is not the store I used but they might have some... akriform.se (Give them a call.)
Might be this company www.nordbergstekniska.se Not 100% sure though, långt ut i skogen :)
botvidsson Tack!
En avisering av glädje när du publicerar en instruerande produktfotografering! Fortsätt så när tillfälle ges! ❤️
"en handled" ???
botvidsson det vart inte riktigt rätt 🤣 under handledning/vägledning/guidning menade jag 🙏🏼
Eller instruerande kanske man säger 🤘🏼
Ah, absolut. Tack 🙏🏻 jobbar på det.
I would have tried rear curtain sync with a slow shutter for the LED
cheers
Please tell me more
I think that was exactly what I did... or?
It would be very good for us for your to list the most important equipment you are using on every video. Not just the two items you have here in the description. For example, I would love to know how to trigger the camera AND the speed lights or strobes at the same time.
Yes, I must be better to say what gear I use. I have updated the info under this video, there's a link to my Amazon shop (Some of the gear I use) I also have a hidden link to all my gear: www.botvidsson.se/gear
To trigger camera+flash remotely, at the same time, I connect a Pocket Wizard PlusX to the camera trigger port, then I connect a Profoto air remote to the hot shoe on the camera. The I take a second Pocket Wizard, holding in ny hand, to trigger the camera, and then the flash goes off thanks to the Profoto Air Remote... don't know if this make sense to you...
That's Nikka Whisky from the barrel, it was named 2018 Whisky of the year by Whisky Advocate. I have 3 bottles.
Yes, it was very nice! 😃
You should try to get a bottle of 12 year old yamazaki if you can find one. Extremely hard to get!
@@b.whisky9438 Yes, I should try more Japanese whisky. I actually only drink peated whisky. Favourites: Longrow, Kilchoman, Caol Ila, Ardbeg, Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Talisker and so on... 😛
Turn the TV off :) Great video as well
But it's Mad Men, the best series of all time...
Tack Martin! Varje gång jag fotar whiskeyglas backlit så blir det mörkt i mitten eller högst upp. Vet du vad det beror på?
Har du en länk till en bild? Eller skicka till martin@botvidsson.se. Lättare att förstå om jag ser en bild.
@@botvidsson tog bort bilden från kameran men ska testa igen så då kan. Jag skicka. Tack snälla Martin.
Might have to try this approach with a bottle of whiskey I'm trying to shoot. Was it intentional to not add edge-lighting to the sides of the bottle? I've noticed when experimenting with the whiskey I've been playing around with that the glass doesn't create particularly flattering edge light the way other bottles would especially around the neck.
Hi! Yes it was, I wanted to have "black" edge light cuz the background is so bright. But if will work with edge light too off course.
@@botvidsson Thank you for the response. I think black edges on the bottle fit the mood better also. If you don't mind me asking. As someone who just launched a business/website in product photography what do you believe is the best way to gain clients when you're just stating out?
They say you should never shoot for free but I would contact local companies/start ups and offer them some free photos. Build up your portfolio in one genre. Then when you have some "client" work in your portfolio you can, hopefully, start charging the next client.
@@botvidsson Thank you so much. I really appreciate this advice and all your videos for insight into product photography. Out of all the content creators I've found in this field on TH-cam you seem to have the best balance of being thorough yet not too long and without making it seem impossible unless you have all the highest quality gear or heavily retouching everything in photoshop.
Thanks a lot, that's exactly how I want people to feel about my videos.
Great channel mate. Is it ok photograph any brand bottle and use it in your portfolio without company’s permission .
It's a bit tricky question and from what I heard, sometimes, it might not be ok. But... as long as you don't sell the image you'll... probably... be fine.
Personally I'll take the risk 😎
botvidsson that’s fine , thanks for your advise .
Hi, where I can find a tiny table like than you use?
Do you mean the baby wall plate from Avenger? www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/570226-REG/Avenger_F301_F301_Baby_Wall_Plate.html
Thanks, I already buy mine in B&H with your recomendation.
cool
Thanks!
Lite udda stil men sluresultatet blev helt OK.
👍🏻
Video I like! Channel I Subscribe!
Fantastic!
I heard for the first time someone saying US of A
Is that so!? 🇺🇸 😁
Skön rulle..
Thomas Majlov Bugar!
Interesting information - thank you for that. Letting you know, saying F**K isn't socially acceptable
I have made over 60 videos and in this video, the first, I used 1 bad word. I agree, It’s very bad and I actually thought I bleeped it out.
If you watch all the other videos I’m a very good boy. 😊
fuck off jules
