This is a video to help break peoples notion that was created years ago when most cameras had a built in flash that faces forward. That implied that a light must shine at the subject to take an image, but as Martin shows, the light can be anywhere and you must use its position to the advantage it possesses to get an attractive image.

​@@botvidsson not exactly , it takes 25min in air to reach a place 20km away from it from my place and from there trek to peak. I don't have any wish to summit as of now and its expensive too , haven't yet bought my first c stand , first fast lens , a good light due to my poverty and things aren't avilable here, no access to any international shops, no payment gateway, its that simple here. Also there's almost zero product photographer in this country , I wanted to have some skills of product photgraohy and improve showcasing skill so I'm trying to get stuffs.

How you make it all look simple. Nice video. This is possibly the direction I want to go. You vids inspire.

Do you prefer rectangular or rounded softbox for still life? Or do you have any recommendations and tips in choosing softbox that suits the best? Including its size. Thank you.

@botvidsson

3 жыл бұрын

I almost never use soft boxes for products. I use diffusion paper and flash with reflector/grid. For this shot it works fine but now then looking at the result I wish I used a strip box to get the light more even, using my 2x3 box makes the light coming from the center that makes the shadows on the speaker not going straight down. So... what do I recommend? Probably strip boxes, 30x180cm I have, huge, not necessaryprobably. With stip boxes you can control the light easier then a square soft box. I don't own any octa or round soft boxes so I can't recommend that. Probably more for portrait photography.

Just found your channel and all i can say is thank you! Simple and fun with real life scenarios and advices. I have one question for you or anybody reading this comment: How can you achieve high key photos with white background using same setup as you showed in this video? Thanks a lot and i look forward to your new vids!

@botvidsson

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! You can't do high key with one light, you need a mother flash for the background to make it white.

How would you compare Capture One to Lightroom?

@botvidsson

I use Lightroom for editing all my raw images. Capture One I only use for shooting tethered to computer. Probably it would be smoother workflow only using CaptureOne but I haven't taken that step yet. The main reason... actually the ONLY reason I bought Capture One is the live view function when shooting tethered, but it's a fantastic raw editor indeed. Maybe one day...

What you prefer most, what client want, or what you like ? Couse clients sometimes (mostly) have really bad ideas, and photographer has some practise, experience and he knows, mostly too, what is better. Client can be stubborn and If photographer accept clients opinion, idea, it has effect to he s portfolio and quality of work, in finall result can affect future projects, right ?

Will the popular 100mm Canon macro lens used with product/food photography work with a budget camera such as the Canon T6?

@botvidsson

4 жыл бұрын

I guess T6 is the 2000D here in Europe and I can't see any reason why the 100mm/2.8 Macro should not work. The only thing is that the camera probably have x1.6 crop factor so the 100mm will be like a 160mm lens on that camera, be prepared to move the camera back if you shoot wider shots.

On iso1400-1600 I get an image but everywhere I read iso100 is one you need. I am almost lost now what to do, want to follow an course soon but just wanted to ask if I forget something easy..
