Great video for those who are learning photography. Too many people are talking too much about buying the latest camera or lens without understanding that photography is more about lighting and compostion than acquiring the latest camera or lens.
Disagree. No! I have to go to Adorama & by an M11, 50 mm APO & some lighting. Ah, maybe not. Let me call Adorama & see what they think.☺ But seriuosly, Except for landscape & sports photography, almost every other genre of photography, more would be gained from purchasing lighting equipment & learning how to use it than a new camera. You have to admit got to love great glass/lenses! I know I do.
I have learned alot from Mark and many of the photographers that represent Adorama channel and store. I agree Mark is an excellent instructor you should check out Daniel Norton he is very good also
Hey Adorama/Mark. Have you thought about making this a series? Getting the idea of practicing for "the big game" in people's minds rather than just recreating is powerful. Great video.
It is astounding how much I have learned, and also how much I have accidentally gotten "right", by watching your videos, and those those of a couple others through Adorama. Likely the best resource for the learning photographer.
Thank you Mark, I had a lot of fun with this assignment. I only had continuous lighting, but still managed to get a nice shot. Thank you for the inspiration and the technical information to try it for ourselves.
I certainly don't practice this kind of stuff enough. But it's also one of the reasons that I have multiple foam boards and different fabrics and card stock along with my actual equipment. They make great DIY flags or backgrounds for studio style shots.
Mark - great video. My family couldn't work out where the grapes and apples had disappeared to.....my first attempt was not spectacular but I understand the principles. Will try again. Thanks for all this info. I like the way you teach.
fantastic video! i followed your instructions and got results i never would have expected! maybe that was the most usefull youtube video i ever watched! thank you so much!
Very good presentation! There are a couple projects I've planned, and was having trouble setting them up; this helped a lot, and now I can move forward. Plus, it's clearly possible to get fine results without investing in expensive equipment every time. As always, useful information!
Merci pour cette video Mark ...j adore tes videos comme celles de Gavin Hoey . J ai enormement appris sur la lumiere avec vous... Amitiés From PARIS in France
Hahaha Mark! Je ne croyais pas que tu parlais français 😊 Ou tu utilises Google translate. Anayway, if you ever come to Quebec city I’ll be happy to help you with French. @niromtek on instagram.
I loveeeeee this video!! I am just starting out in Applied Media Program at College. This was a great video, easy to follow along and simple explanations. I am so happy to find this video. I am sure food subjects will come up in my projects....saving your video for reference when it does. Thanks so much. New subscriber.
This is awesome sauce Mark! Thank you very much for this tutorial and suggestions for trying it out ourselves. I hope you continue this series and work up a future episode where by you do this with a model and vintage clothing for another ‘Old Masters’ style edit. PS I hope you pass this video along to your Adorama colleague, Daniel Norton. He will be impressed by how many times you used the term, “specular highlights”, a pet term of his! LOL. Cheers.
Good video, considering that you said this could take hours, I would have suggested using small reflectors, paper/cardstock/etc to bring in light to the fruit.
I absolutely agree. That's the extra credit exercise for everyone at home. Even this simple demo was pushing 20 minutes, perhaps I should create a second video to show adding the front fill with reflectors, etc.
You’re the best dude. Been watching your videos ever since I got into photography. Quick question: I know you use profoto, is there a way to mix profoto lights with other brands, like godox? But not lose hss?

True words.

You're a very creative and knowledgeable photographer Mark. But, you were born to teach! Thanks for all of the knowledge you share so skillfully.
I like this guy!! He seems kind and he teaches in a very nice way. Great tips! Thanks!

Brilliant! The more I watch the more fascinating it becomes. Really learning how to set up a still life. Thank you
Hey Adorama/Mark. Have you thought about making this a series? Getting the idea of practicing for "the big game" in people's minds rather than just recreating is powerful. Great video.
Mark Wallace, the best teacher ever. Love your videos.
It is astounding how much I have learned, and also how much I have accidentally gotten "right", by watching your videos, and those those of a couple others through Adorama. Likely the best resource for the learning photographer.

The instructor that keeps on getting better. Thank you Mark. Awesome tips within this video.
Lo importante como bien dices es práctica, práctica y más práctica. Great tutorial. Greetings from Mexico City.
I certainly don't practice this kind of stuff enough. But it's also one of the reasons that I have multiple foam boards and different fabrics and card stock along with my actual equipment. They make great DIY flags or backgrounds for studio style shots.

To eliminate the stand issue you can use a boom and than used a background stand for the background you would just need to position ajust properly.
Very simple setup and nice fast retouch
almost no furniture But a Leica.. i like it
Man, I have a Sony NEX 5n and I made great photos too. The camera is just a gear. It's actually the person who makes the photo ;)
This is awesome sauce Mark! Thank you very much for this tutorial and suggestions for trying it out ourselves.

Thank you for this informative tutorial.
Nice work. Like the back light. Thanks.

Brilliant tutorial. Liked and subscribed.
I would have put a white card beside of the glass vase to camera right to give a secular highlight thus giving the case some form and dimension.
Great job! It added to my photography knowledge.
Love this video, Mark. I had a lot of fun with the image I practised with and I keep going back to this video to try to improve my imsge.
Simple. Great.

Amazing 😉
cool dude
thats so awsome
I don't understand why, with all of the available light and your camera at f/8, the camera chose a 2-second shutter speed.
That 100 iso had something to do with that.
very interesting and informative. Thank you, Mr. Wallace
Wowwwwww keren....
Wait, jumping into mud? hahaha Great stuff Mark!
