Always look forward to your videos Amanda 💖

Omg. I am so glad I found you. I swear KZread can read minds 😅 (nervous laugh👀) 😂. Your videos are great, perfect timing. Thanks for being here and thanks for sharing.

This is so helpful! As a beginner photographer who just started product photography and cant afford to buy continuous and strobe lighting, this helps so much. thank you!

So glad it was so helpful! 🤩

I’ve always always struggled with my continuous lighting and always wondered why I never managed to get those crisp and sharp images. Especially the even backgrounds. The only way around it, I felt, was shooting directly under the sun :/ but again, that’s no solution for the videos. Really helpful! Thanks!!

thank you for this, I was looking into continuous lighting but this has convinced me to continue using my 2 x AD 200 Pro's for my product photography which I find work rather well

Thank you for this ms. Amanda!! Really helpful!

Thx for the great video! It really helped

omg..... all these years I avoided strobes because I was getting blown out light and just couldnt seem to get it figured out and all I had to do was listen to you say playing with your aperture and I was like..... this all makes sense to me now.

Great advice for lighting I also use canon camera

Just watch 2 videos from you. Wow factor!!

Hey lovely, loved the video, thanks a looooot

This is very helpful information. Is that the 24-105 mm you used in the video? Can you share what settings you used in light and camera, also the optimal distance between camera and subject? Thanks

Do you have to use a remote shutter with the light as a strobe? :) which one do you use?

can you also compare strobe vs continuous with your camera on a tripod? Therefore you don't need to increase your ISO to brighten up the image, but simply increase shutter speed when shooting with continuous light to achieve the same amount of exposure...

When i want to make product photos of some shoes on a grey background, is it enough the have on the left and right side continuous light and from above strobe light ? or can you give me an advice for a better setup of the lights ?

Can make a video on how to setup the trigger to the strobe light?

This was a really great video (and you uploaded it as I was googling the FV150 - are you a psychic?). Do you mainly shoot strobe now for photography? how does the fv150 perform as a strobe in a dim setting?

@amandacampeanu

Haha what a coincidence! I do yes 😊 I find it just gives me better results for the style of photography I do. I personally haven’t used it in a dim setting, it depends on the style you’re after. But you can easily adjust the brightness of your strobe depending on how bright you want it.

Explains why I keep getting blue pollution into my product photos, and having a hard time getting a consistent white background. Luckily I still have two strobe lights, and will be giving them a shot.

Great video, thanks!! Question: if you use a tripod, wouldn’t it be better to decrease your shutter speed instead of increasing ISO when the image's too dark?

@amandacampeanu

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! Definitely! I usually decrease my shutter speed if I need a tad more light. But even if I pumped up my iso on my Canon R5 it’s the same effect as the low light performance is great

would you mind making a video on how getting rid of glares and reflections please?

Hi Amanda, how do you deal with shadows when preparing the scene with a strobe light? Thanks 😘

@amandacampeanu

Hey Benedetta! It’s a bit of trial and error. overtime you’ll start being able to identify where you might have to place an object or your light to create a specific shadow. But you won’t know what it looks like until you take the photo. 😊

Amazing ! Quick question, what camera are you using ? I see its Canon , but which model and which lens ? Thanks.

Still thinking about switching to strobes, but tbh I always shoot with tripod, so I'm not sure I'll see much results. I only shoot static objects and can easily do high aperture at iso 100 by using long shutter speeds and continous lights. It's also way easier to get the lighting correctly while setting up, so I might regret switching over. Any advantages the strobes could still bring in this situation?

@amandacampeanu

2 жыл бұрын

I totally had the same thoughts before I switched! But when I did I wondered why I didn’t do it sooner! Strobes are more powerful. I found I could push my aperture even higher to get more in focus which is a huge benefit. And I found the light was more even in my scene as well. To me, the more powerful the light the better. If you’re able to rent some strobes or head into a studio and test then out it’s a great way to see the results before you buy! But I highly recommend 🙌

Darn, I just watched another video of yours and was all set to get a godox sl60...

Are you 🧛🏻‍♀️?

I don't understand this....surely you can just decrease your shutter speed for product photography? The only time this would be an issue would be with moving subjects or shooting off tripod.

@amandacampeanu

Жыл бұрын

If you’re decreasing your shutter speed it can still introduce motion blur when you press the shutter button (even if your camera is on a tripod). Unless you use a remote trigger. But it’s not necessary to decrease your shutter speed so much. Typically 1/200 is a good spot for shooting products I find. But if you find it’s easier to decrease your shutter to introduce more light, then definitely do what suits you best when shooting 😊
