Cheers to those of you who watched & commented. 🥂
It is the most explanatory and practical tutorial video about product photography I have ever seen.Thanks.
wow thanks.
So, i realise you don’t have a load of followers, but here is the thing, I’m a musician and during lockdown i had no work for around 18 months, desperate i started looking for a day job, i don’t really have any other skills apart from photography, in my desperation i found an opportunity with a drinks company, they asked me to come in a test shoot, I did what many clueless photographer would do and jumped on TH-cam to see how the hell you shoot bottles! Your video popped up and I followed it step by step, i went in to their offices with a mobile setup and bingo I got the gig. So in case you haven’t guessed yet, this message is an enormous THANK YOU, your video really helped set me on the right track! You see you never know who’s watching and how it can help. Good luck and thanks again. Tony.

Thanks so much. I'm glad I can give something back.
Here via Botvidsson. Excellent work. Very thorough
Welcome to the channel. It was an honor to get a recommendation from Botvidsson.
This is so far the best and most straightforward video on this topic. One must have a certain practical experience to get it as it is quick and to the point, and i absolutely loved it for that. Thanks a lot of sharing.
Thanks. My audience isn't 100% beginner, and I wasn't a fan of videos with too much fluff.
simply wonderful - you have a talent for teaching!
Great content Thank you so much for sharing
I would love to see more
More video like this please
Need a concept and time. but hope to come back to it.

Thanks bud!
YES! you're getting it now .. this is good stuff !!!
Slowly but surely.
someone shared your video link on reddit for product photography. But when I thought to subscribe you, I found out that this is the only video tut you made. If you are planning to keep this going am happy to subs you. I found your channel as tech review, not as photography tut.
Hi. I took a short break from making videos. Plan is to do more photography tutorials in addition to tech needed for photography. Any specific topic you’d like me to try to cover?
@@ch3m1st we are happy to see more tuts video on product photography like you detailed explain in this video.

Great tutorial! Thanks so much!
Brilliant ! Thanks for this !
Hey! How can i find the little table support on amazon? The little one.
That was truly amazing!
Thanks!
Ps if you’re ever in London i owe you a beer!
Thanks for your video. Could you link the purchase source for the small acrylic basement and stand please?
Hi Angela, the exact mini metal table I use is this: Impact Wall Plate with 5/8" Locking Receiver amzn.to/3gaeIRe mounted on a short c-stand, but any light stand will work. You could also use something like this plate with a stud instead of a receiver, amzn.to/3cSgcxx and mount it in a grip head or arm. for the acrylic, I got a 6x12' from a local shop, but this would be similar on amazon: amzn.to/36eLKeC acrylic can be scored with a blade a few times and then snapped to size. (just be careful)
thankyou bro, im struggling to find the right light composition with the poor gear i have hahah... i already subs & like your channel
practice and hopefully you'll get better.
Can you do such videos for glass objects photography ?
I'll add that to my list of potential video topics. thanks for the feedback
This awesome, love it. Can you drop links to all accessories, that you used for lighting?
So can I send you a bottle for photography! I’m sold.
yes please
Found that lighting diagram for the last set-up particularly helpful with a white whine bottle I just shot. Camera settings wise what do you typically shoot in these sort of scenarios?
Camera settings are always fluid, but 1st requirement is that you have a black frame without strobes so you know all of the light in the frame is what you added, and not ambient. ISO usually as low as possible, Shutter speed is sync speed of your camera, typically 1/125 - 1/160s, and aputure is dependent on depth of field, but f/8 -f/11 should be a good start.
Morning,
Thanks for the video ch3m1st!
That diffusion paper idea open my eyes to getting those highlights to becoming gradients! Do you happen to know where you can purchase those?
If not I guess any shoot through material would work( I.e. bed sheets, the diffusion panel from a 5-in-1 reflector)
The diffusion I use is called Translum by Savage (same colony that makes seamless paper.) they make different thicknesses but I’ve only tried the heavyweight for the most even diffusion. Other brands like Lee and Rosco also offer diffusion rolls.
Great video! Please advise what diffusion panels or rolls are you using?
I use Savage Translum diffusion rolls in heavyweight.
Thank you @@ch3m1st
is there a way to get rid of cross light shadows without having a light in the background?
clip the bottle out in post?
Nice video tutorial. Really nicely structured. Still learning to improve my work from time to time.
I've a struggle on shooting products have really bright neon colors, so I'm curious to know if there is a solution when using with the lighting strobe. Everytime I shoot with my lighting setup, the color isnt the same as the actual product itself.
My current "work around", I take without any strobe/speedlight by only using a slow shutter. So that I can "achieve" the actual color representation but it will appear flat as I dont have the lighting to create the depth that I need.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Color reproduction is often a challenge. One thing to consider is lighting it to create the shape and texture you want and fixing the color in post production.
@@ch3m1st Thanks for the reply. Yeah, looks like no short cut to that. Ha ha
Multivious Studio another reason is cameras see colors differently than people. For example refraction rainbows are difficult to capture of some materials that look holographic. Also neon glow is activated by UV and strobes filter that out. There are UV flash tubes for capturing in camera but they are so $$$ and rare, it’s better to just do it in post.
Hi, I’ve watched this hundreds of times, I have the same gear, I’ve set it up the same but cannot get the same results, if I shoot against a soft box the backgrounds overexposed and the floor is under exposed, bottle is clear so it just over exposes everything. Are you able to help?
with super clear bottles, it gets a bit tricky. try using black flags to retain edge detail.
Amazing video post processing video link?
not sure what you're asking for...
@@ch3m1st sir I am a begginer in editing using Photoshop I wanted to know the editing process involved I have seen few masking video but they always show it in a hurry
where can I buy that plexi?
You can try amazon or a plastic dealer. My local store (Canal Plastics) has been closed for the longest time but I have ordered other acrylic from Tap Plastics online.
