Dude, this is some CODEX level photography. The story telling photography part is hands down my favorite part and definitely changes how I look at photos from now on.

"You wouldn't use all a hundred paints you own on a single mini" Well that just sounds like a challenge...

This vid genuinely brings very creative lighting approaches to the absolute novice with a brain. I've now rounded up every anglepoise in the house and made them duct tape and card masks. Four LED cliplights on stalks give me my extra background and coloured lights using all sorts of bits of coloured cellophane. Some really wrinkled wrappers off candies and my attempts to colour frosted plastic with airbrushed inks have resulted in "textured lighting" which works beautifully for the backgrounds and terrain. I'd expected it was so close to source as to just blur away in the pics but not exactly. I've now added some sharpie to some of them to make it more effective. This stuff is fun!

Teaching me a whole lesson that’s more useful then what my teachers show me 😩😂

The thing about feeling personally attacked by a videos headline is that the content is going to be super relevant. This was super informative. And I loved that both you guys showed up to lend your different perspective. Great work and thanks for the insights.

"THE ANGLE OF YOUR DANGLE"

Probably the easiest video to watch to get an understanding of how to take photos. Always wondered how folks got the drama in their thematic shots so now I may have to give them a go!

As far as I know, this is the most comprehensive mini photography guide on the internet. I know I say it often but you guys have really outdone yourselves!

Good to see Eons of Battle understands the genius of crocs

Gotta share this with some peeps!

I shared this with most of my friends who enjoy minis.

This channel it’s so great than you can apply all you learn here for other hobby’s

I know this is an older video but it’s a really good one. I like both of your perspectives but want to thank Nick for the help with understanding my new mirrorless. Great work guys.

Actually it is no longer a dark apostel, but an Inquisitor at 26.41 ^_^ AND I have to rewatch this a lot of time, thanks Nick! Not only are you helping with nice and easy paintings, but finally (after 10 years or so) I can begin to get a deeper understanding of photo taking (without going deep dive into it)

Fucking genius on that cubelight clone. Impressed.

TLDW: LIGHTS. MORE LIGHTS. Seriously though thanks for this, seems a lot more understandable than previous guides I have found.

Great video guys. Easily one of the best on mini photography.

This video needs to be seen by 95% of mini painters

Ah sweet! Time to take some photos!

great way to simplify photos

Jeez I needed a video like this for a long time

This was crazy informative. Good stuff team.

Fricken amazing video! Nice job!

Excellent video! Thanks

Commenting on this even though it's 2 years old! Great video, love the approach and lots of good tips.

Comprehensive! Great work guys!

this was so helpful, thankyou.👍

This is an awesome video. Thank you Nick. This vid deserve a lot more views.

Super video. Simple explications but not too simple. Seeing you both is nice. And I'm jealous of Nick's shirt.

This was amazing for an intro

Lol wow, we just talked about that on the discord last night. That was fast!

This is some quality insight into all the work that goes on behind the scenes for eob also nick presenting is quality

Really solid work, guys!

This is fantastic. I work in the commercial photography industry and the amount of terrible miniature photos I see on Reddit and other sites is just straight up depressing. This should be shared with not only mini painters but aspiring photographers as well. Great job Jay and Nick!

No views? Let's change that.

Great vid! I really need to get an additional lamp. Bleh.

Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the tips

This was very informative!

I find the challenge with cellphone shots are the shallow field of focus-details that are too far in the foreground and background become blurry

Thank you for awesome video! Sorry if repeat the question - what is the model of wireless RGB flood light you use in the video?

What lens do you use for recording/photography? i have a canon DSLR but want to upgrade the lens

Hey EOB! I think you use Army Painter paint right? What color do you use for ultramarines?

I love this channel so much. Now if only I could get my airbrush to work I could catch up to your skills XD no matter what paint I try it just gums up every single time. With thinner, no thinner, doesn't matter. I'm fuckin something up

Try to keep your ISO to 100. At the most, 400. Anything over will be very “grainy” or with plenty of noise. The higher the ISO, the higher the grain/noise.

Take a drink every time dude says fratography

Wait... @7:54... Are you Canadian? lol! By the way, Nick really knows what he is talking about.

I love elvisis song faux velvet

Angle of your dangle! 😏

I intentionally take awful photos to hide my many butchered paintjobs

Nick: ‘if your spouse won’t let you…’ Me: Get a new spouse.

But if I take good photos, how do I hide my shoddy painting?

The tips were nice....but nothing helped quite as much as just finally upgrading my phone to one that was a decade newer. I'm pretty satisfied now.

The aperture works kind of like the iris in your eye

Opening or closing to let in more or less light

After watching this, one thing was certain. We need more Nick videos. I think getting into miniature photography would be something I'd like to do, but getting a hold of all that equipment is a little daunting.

I sent a picture of a model I painted to a group of friends. They replied with the link to this video 😅

Like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 👍🏼

Phone cameras are OKAY, but compare against a nice prime Zeiss lens and you'll see a massive difference. The aperture limitation is MASSIVE. Even an older DSLR with a nice 35-50mm lens can get far better shots than a phone. You can also get pretty cheap Vivitar macro filters for super close-up shots. Totally blurred background, but sharp close-up. I use a Sony A7ii with a 4-10x close-up filter for my videos and photos. Adjust the aperture for how much you want in-focus. Sony A series minimizes noise at high ISO settings. It's technology approaching HERESY, but prayers to the machine spirits tell me this is the Emperor's will.

Look I take bad photos to hide the bad painting

Hi

My iPhone sharpens everything and makes my brush strokes way worse than in person

The material is great, but this guy is so creepy it is very very distracting. Ick.
