Great video. Thanks for making this. What I struggle with most if understanding what background/floor would look good. How the lighting should hit, and the props part. So, basically everything where a decision about photo needs to be made. I can take photos, but the decision of where things should be, is hard for me. But then I understand it's a process, and if I keep trying, I will get there. :)

My answer to this is boring but it's what worked for me. Put in a lot of repetition. Take a lot of photos on different setups and eventually, it will all make sense in your head and just come naturally. It worked for me, maybe it will work for you :)

Super helpful video! I’m doing a product shoot and needed an instructional. Nailed it! Just what the doctor ordered. Production value recommendation for your video would be to deliver direct to camera and cut in b-roll of your process. GREAT content and very helpful. My comment is related to invite you towards greater excellence so you can continue to excel in your goals! Haven’t seen any of your other videos, so my comment may be entirely irrelevant but wanted to give back as best as I can in this one touch point. Thanks for your excellent input for my project!

I enjoyed seeing this helpful video giving your insights and approaches. I was suprised how much bokeh you were getting at f6.3 and I am guessing thats due to using a full frame camera. My crop sensor will give me that sort of bokeh at around 2.8 and Ive been on the fence about upgrading my 8 year old canon as just cant decide whether to stick with crop sensor and the lenses I have or spend more and go full frame - I believe either will do a great job for my product shoots but maybe full frame gives an extra edge in quality, clarity, nicer bokeh and dynamic range
@ChrisPieta

If you are serious about getting more paid gigs, I'd go with full frame so that you can deliver great content to your clients.

Hey Chris! Thanks for this awesome tutorial. It has been difficult to find tips and advice on my specific photography needs. Would you consider doing a tutorial on flat lay product photography? I take pictures of baby items such as baby clothes, baby announcement signs, and baby blankets. How do I compose and light my shots to make the products soft and inviting yet professional?
Great video!! Do you have tips to get better a product styling composition?
