How To Use Focus Stacking For Professional Product Photography

Фильм және анимация

Focus stacking is a powerful studio photography technique that can create an infinite depth of field effect, crisply capturing every detail in the image. Extremely powerful for product photography, this technique is not super hard, but takes some planning and patience. In this video I break down the basic steps of how to do do focus stacking yourself to achieve professional quality results.

    I had always wondered how these product shots were done fully in-focus, I knew I couldn't just take 1 photo with a tiny aperture but I never knew how it worked. Software like this could have some really interesting uses like maybe even replicating a tilt shift lense, super cool technique and a put together video.

    I also use a tilt shift lens, sometimes using it to also focus stack, as they offer different things. TS lenses are rad.

    What do you mean by that exactly? By the definition in understand it, this video is focus bracketing.

    @@CalebKerr I think he means the auto-bracketing/stacking feature in the R5. But this only works with continuous light because for some dumb reason Canon designed the software to not work with flash. I used a Fuji X-T3 and could use flash because you can add a delay in the settings to give your flash time to reset. For Canon, I believe only the R3 can do this.

    If you tether, you’ll know not all tether cables are created equal! This is the Area 51 Pro+ cable (31’).

    I got to try this. I am sure there must be free versions of focus stacking software.

    Photoshop and Lightroom have it, I hear Affinity has it (which I believe is free). Also if you want to try Helicon Focus, they do a 30 day trial (no credit card or anything needed) of the full version of the software.

    Helicon focus does have a rather inexpensive 1 year license for around $30.
