Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Ever wonder what kind of studio lighting setups that professional photographers use? In this video, I'll take you into my home photo studio and show you the lights that I use for photoshoots and videos, plus DIY equivalents that you can make at home. You'll learn how to make a softbox, reflector, and shoot using common household goods. If you're stuck at home in quarantine, now is as good a time as any to learn about lighting and practice it at home.
* UPDATE - 3 Budget LED Video Lights- • Budget Lighting for Vi...
I'll then use both sets of DIY lights and light modifiers to shoot a wine bottle, with tips on how to best use lighting for photography.

I mainly do landscape and event photography, so I didn't want to invest much in equipment I don't use that often. This is exactly what I was looking for to set up lighting for Ebay photographs quickly and cheaply--many thanks!

    Oh wow, this tutorial is really great! I want to try my hand at product photography, and my natural impulse is to go online and buy a bunch of lighting equipment that I'm not even sure how to work with. That would cost me a lot, and who knows if I'd end up using half of it. Now I've learned how to DIY the basics, so in the very least I'll learn more about my preferences, and if later I decide to buy, it will be an informed purchase. I also LOVED your very visual explanation about how to use everything. THANK YOU!!!! (My ex-husband was a very technical, pro photographer, with tons of expensive equipment and sharp knowledge. But I learnt very little with him, as it all sounded very daunting. Your manner of teaching, on the other hand, is very approachable to beginners.)
