Steam the silk of the soft box… it’s phrases like this that make this channel a goldmine!

[@BrentODell]

Super cool, now I want to practice on everything and anything in my kitchen

[@danrichardsonmedia]

Honestly Daniel, yours are some of the best and most enjoyable tutorials on TH-cam. Thanks for the consistently awesome content! ☺️🙏🏼

[@jer3006]

Your method is very clean and simple, just the way I like. Thanks for showing this easy approach.

[@moSahl]

I can watch all the videos on TH-cam, but whenever Daniel uploads one, it becomes my go-to. Thank you again Daniel!

[@plemas]

I use bare beads through white translucent acrylic. That way you can create a gradation in your reflections by feathering the light on the acrylic

[@alexanderpons9246]

Thanks for making this video Daniel Norton, Product Photography is a very interesting category! Like I may have mentioned before it took me a while to understand that in Product Photography is more about the way light reflects or bounce off the product surface. The mirror is a great way to get the same intensity and source like effect. Thanks for all the great content you make and share with us all Sir!

[@TimothyWestPhotography]

Nicely done Daniel, thanks for sharing...not likely that I'll be shooting wine anytime soon but the setup and thought process was so interesting, thank you :)

[@209lapko]

Excellent jod `Daniel...

[@frederikboving]

Thank you 🙏🏻 for yet another easy to follow video. I've got 2 makeup mirrors now just because I follow this channel 🤣 but they are indeed very useful 🤗

[@davidbailey1689]

Interesting comment regarding steaming out the creases! I would never have thought of that. Thanks.

[@andreak4280]

💪🏼💪🏼 👍🏼 🙏🏼TY Daniel!!

[@tw9535]

That looked fantastic. Great video (as always) 👍

[@canucklehead28]

Great video Daniel, as always.

[@theonlysonkoi]

Short, sweet, and to the point.
Great vid. Thanks

[@thomasphilhower1400]

Thank you for another great lesson

[@gabeatv]

Nice and simple. Great content as usual!

[@tonygreenwoodN10]

Great tips! Thanks

[@cubistone]

Finely illustrated demo. Confirmed my suspicion about invoking Caravaggio lighting in product shoot.

[@jerrym8140]

So fun thx for sharing

[@findingfreedomrv9776]

Nice and easy thanks Dan

[@yukonica4560]

Regardless of having seen the technique, know or use the technique; a few minutes of Daniel is always enjoyable.
btw.. the "steam your diffuser" is a great bit of advice. I shot the same item four times until I figured out what was going on...

[@zedbleu4444]

Daniel, thanks for the cool instructive video 😃
(no questions)

[@SemPixels]

First time here and I love it already. You make this very simple

[@ronin5th]

Thanks. I have never seen that technique before.

[@spinthma]

Thanks a lot.

[@walkingmanvideo9455]

Well presented, I enjoyed this video.

[@ravelg]

Another great video! Thank you! Would love to see a video shooting highly reflected skin care cream jars.

[@mrdev9843]

👍👍

[@DaKloot]

Great tip about the softbox thanks, another tip would be to remove the back label of the bottle to get more light through the bottle

[@ac4pres310]

Thanks! I wanted to confirm some of my theories about exactly this recently :D

[@vperalta]

This was a great video. Simple and direct. Can you give us more product photography lessons? it would be wonderful.

[@jeremiahnave4292]

Nice. Does that method also work for food?

[@MicahTischler]

Could a gentle, snooted third light hitting the label tangentially from near-side right do the mirror's job without the need to retouch? My inexperience on such things makes me wonder if that would work.
Also, many thanks for another insightful lesson!

[@PeterSzaban]

If you wanted more of a gradient of light that got brighter as you went from the top to the bottom of the bottle, would you just tilt the top of the key light away from the bottle? ...guess I could just try that for myself, but maybe you have a better suggestion? Thanks for the product photography tips Daniel!

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

You could try that, but it will change the shape of the highlight. More likely using a “net” would be the answer - its like a flag but reduces vs blocks light

[@gregoryroth5527]

Daniel, what is the table you are using? Thanks 🙏

[@DanielNortonPhotographer]

It’s a saw horse

[@ericsarnoski6278]

Seems like it would have been slightly easier to turn the bottle 1/2" and add a white reflector. 1 shot = 1 kill . 🙃
