The lighting explanation while product photography was wonderful it's like was taking a live class

❤

Very helpful, thanks! I’m a freelance photographer that has shot mainly events, gigs & landscapes, but I’m just starting to get into product photography. Love that you’re an Aussie too, so if you recommend something, I won’t always have to get it from the US haha. I bought some of those clips at The reject shop for $6!

Happy to have come across you Dave. Thank you very much for this.

Hey mate, I understood everything since I'm in AUS as well. What stands do you recommend for holding things like paper and items with the clamps? Where'd you get the black paper drop etc? Anything else also interested to know where you got them, cheers

Great video. Thanks heaps for the tips. Just looking at getting into this area of photography. Do you have any videos on your lighting set up, backdrops? Its so confusing! Confused if I should go continuous or strobe. Love from Sydney, Aus. Off to Bunnings now to get those clamps. 👍

I purchased a clear try from West Elm in the US. But a search on Amazon showed some for under $30.

I just hate those reflections 🥶

which kind of light that i should start to buy

thanks, is the foam core just styrofoam (thermocol) or is it somehow hardened and made sturdy?

@BidPixel

2 жыл бұрын

Its just regular foam core from the craft store. We have found its quite study for what we use it for ✌🏼

Good tips, thank you. If you could level up your audio it would be very helpful.

Question: how do you reach out to brands? Do you work off of a platform like fiverr or something or just emailing individual brands. Asking because alot of brands that I've looked up email starts with help@. So I know it won't reach the right person

@BidPixel

I work primarily with brands that have reached out to me personally, but when I do reach out to a brand I like to message them personally on Instagram. You would be surprised how well a personal message can work for a small business :)

What do you think about shadows in product photography?

@BidPixel

If done well, they are a great way to add depth to an image. I’ve recently been using light stencils to add specific shadows to our images which I’m going to talk about in an upcoming video!
