I discovered your channel today and I gotta say you are a great instructor + photographer. Your subjects are well thought and very relevant to people with a mind to learn about lighting. You express concepts very well, your visual materials are so pleasing to observe and a great example alongside your instruction. This almost feels like a paid photography class :D !
very good . I,m photo grapher in iran and I enjoyed From your video . my sister live in losangles .I hope to see her and continue my education in the United States .I have a Noritsu 3702 mini lip in Iran and I have been photographing for about a year
So , first of all , your videos are so unique and I hope you will keep it going like that ! And also, is just a big missing in tutorials or videos about food photography in lighting and actual techniques ! Awesome stuff man ! Congrats 😎
im glad i discovered your channel! this is really helpful and new learning for me. Im excited to apply this shadow techniques with my food photography :) thank you so much!
Just checked out your Instagram to see the final chicken shot and MAN how do you not have more followers. It blew my mind your work and these videos are brilliant. Love love love this lighting technique!
Creat video and very well produced and presented. You have done an outstanding job with your explanation of your workflow and how you greated this shot. I love your humor (Toast) and the pace of your presentation. Would love to see more of your work in the future.
10:34 I know this is a long one. Video is 10:47 minutes. What short then BTW great video I love how you explain things and when you start you make it easy and tell us the mistakes
Just subscribed and followed on IG. Great content! Also, food hack. If you burn your toast again, use a butter knife to scrape off the top layer. Brings it to almost perfect
I really like your videos and your photos could you suggest me? I come from street photography and now I want to dedicate myself to food photography. I have a little money that I want to invest in a study that allows me to work comfortably and well. I have a softbox 80x100 and a stripbox 20x90 (and maybe a bigger one) I wonder what lights I need to illuminate with good quality ... I thought about buying 2 godox V860II (for the same price they could be x4 tt685 but they use aa batteries and not se), or maybe x1 v860ii and an AD200? the V1 seems that on certain shots with a lot of power it overheats and does not work ... if you could give me some advice, thanks
Hi! congratulations for your videos !! I would like to create shadows in the still life (maybe simulate the shadows created by a window) I ask you: the shadow you made on this set, can you create only with a flash or even with a continuous light? Thank you!!
Awesome videos! I don't understand how your flashes look kinda diffused on this shoot though. I've got some youngnuo flashes that look super harsh without diffusion. Do yours have some built in diffuser or something?
New to your channel and immediately hit the subscribe 😉 Appreciate the straight forward and educational approach. I will find you on Instagram as well . Curious to know as I didn’t see it in your show notes what C- Stand you are using I’ve been on the hunt for a good quality one that won’t break the bank to much . Can you please send me over the details ? Thank you in advance and keep up the great work !
Thank you! I actually use a pretty pricey c-stand that I bought a while ago. Came out to around 300 bucks, but would definitely recommend the c-stand from neewer which is about 135. amzn.to/3hJnuXq Answering this 6 days later, I'm going to guess you may have found one already, but I'll respond anyway haha. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Thank you! I actually started using Capture One not too long ago, I've been a heavy lightroom user for years, but since using Capture One I've been loving the heavy customization with Capture One, especially the color profiles, the way it renders contrast, and the ability to tether through their live view function is amazing. With that said, I don't think it's any better than LR or PS in terms of features or performance or anything like that. I believe it really depends on where you're at in terms of skill and the type of demands you have in your professional workflow. Capture One just happens to fit my needs, which was a surprise because I only wanted to try it out, but ended up loving it a lot.
is your photo editor app in this video called shadowplay? i want to try it but cant find the app on internet, it is seems very handy! may i have the download link please
Maybe for like a fine art or something, but for food photography, you have to remember that the viewer needs to be able to see the subject, which is food. If I owned a restaurant, this is not what I would want.
Unfortunately, there hasn't been enough demand to have my scripts translated into Arabic. There should be the ability to activate subtitles here on TH-cam!
My wife will take interest in the first two minutes then she will say this won't taste good cold. eat it while its hot! she will also probably pressure me to take a shot with phone.

what software is the first one you used aside from Photoshop? Do you have a video on how you post-edit your pictures?
Thumbs up before video starts..... :)
Great video! Maybe I missed it, but can you go into how you did the switch between C1 and Photoshop so fast, where it made the TIF file in C1?
Thanks!
Hi! Nice tips,thanks! Cool speedlight with model light! Wich brand / model this is?
pls answer me, what software u used?
Love this! Can I ask which flash light you use in this video?
Just discovered ur channel yesterday, very interesting. Thanks mate.
Which flash you recommend for a reasonable price ?
Is there a reason why you use Capture One instead of Lightroom? :)
Huge thanks for all your content
Love it!! What is the name of the first program he used?
Amazing! More content about shaping with lights please! :)
More in the works!
is it worth learning capture one? It took me years to master Lightroom ahhh

Good informative video as always 👍

Amazing tutorial! Can you also do tutorials on how to light products? Thank you!
Thanks James! And yes I note that down, thanks for the suggestion!
Can you tell, which monitor are you using for editing? Cause I have laptop lcd and its sucks in color.
who makes the backdrop
Hey, what are those side light that you are using here. I really like them.
I would like to know as well;-)
Where do you buy that surfaceses
nice.
Hi I am your new subscriber! What board are you using? is that a foam board? what is the dimension? and how thick? Thank you very much!
Incredible tutorial!! Where do you get your background boards from? Sorry if I missed it somewhere
I got mine from Erickson surfaces and also had a friend make some custom ones as well
Do you just glue on foldable vinyls to the boards or do you get premade boards?

How do you fix the horizon where the table meet the background?
You mean get rid of the dark line? I would probably have to clean it up in Photoshop.
this is good and all but I don't have those kinds of lights just yet
You’re boss
What a helpfull and great tutorial!
I see you use Capture One. Why not LR and/or PS? What is Capture One’s strongpoints?
Thank you!
I actually started using Capture One not too long ago, I've been a heavy lightroom user for years, but since using Capture One I've been loving the heavy customization with Capture One, especially the color profiles, the way it renders contrast, and the ability to tether through their live view function is amazing.

very goood
🙌🙌Thanks
is your photo editor app in this video called shadowplay? i want to try it but cant find the app on internet, it is seems very handy! may i have the download link please
No, it’s Capture One
Why do you use flash instead of led lights...?
Excellent.. what is the software you are using for post editing the image?
Capture one pro
u r awesome
Thanks man!
Can you tell me. What are you using prog. ? Befroe PS ? PLSSSSSS
I used Capture One in this video
Which apps you edit?
Please apps name?
Capture One Pro
what is the octabox you using?
It's the Magbox from MagnetMod.
How did the toast Taste ?
Surprisingly okay 👌
Is this indian samosa?
i believe so!
Thought that was a rice dumpling LOL
haha

I absolutely agree. there's definitely gotta be a balance between client expectations and artistic expression.
Looked a little dangerous to fetch the toast with a metal tool inside of the toaster.
Mic is too close
Cool video but your audio is waaay to bright.
I agree. Each video I publish I find myself fine-tuning the high frequencies haha
I hope there will be an Arabic translation so that we can benefit
Unfortunately, there hasn't been enough demand to have my scripts translated into Arabic. There should be the ability to activate subtitles here on TH-cam!
u so handsome
Why is it lit like a scene from a horror movie? Its kinda moody?
My wife will take interest in the first two minutes then she will say this won't taste good cold. eat it while its hot! she will also probably pressure me to take a shot with phone.
That made me laugh. Because my girlfriend told me the same thing when making this video.
Was eating that burnt toast a metaphor for your life?
Thankfully, no.
This video is corrupt and not playing properly
i don't find it beautiful. my first impression is not the product itself. i see two triangles black & white, over do with the lights
