    Your way of presenting this tutorial is so clear, precise, detailed that
    even a novice can say "I want to try it!" My urge to take beautiful photos of my baked products lead me to your channel. Although I use mobile phone only, I hope to see more of your videos.❤️ Thank you very much❤

    So I just bumped into your channel and I’m wowed! I may take no further photography classes as they haven’t helped much.
    Can you make a video about camera set ups, iso, shutter speed etcccc please??????🥺🥺🥺
    Every video I watch confuses me more and no, the classes haven’t helped.

    would like to ask how did you make your foam boards or where did you buy it if that's okay. Love your videos!

  • @amitsalvi

    Great content. Subscribed to your channel a few days back. Was wondering where you get the foam boards in color from? Also what about the backgrounds?

    Can you tell us about your stands? I need to get one and could use a recommendation.

    • @figandlight
      @figandlight  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Of course! I mainly use the manfrotto 5001B nano stand. It's a great lightweight + durable option as well as a great space saver as it folds up nicely.

    How can I read the histogram

    • @figandlight
      @figandlight  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depends on what camera you're using as they all have different ways of displaying the histogram

  • @JoeCosentino
    @JoeCosentino 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    At least you understand light and using sidelight. Jut watch another who blasted a strobe from the front shooting from the front showing no shape to his subject
