THANK YOU. This completely changed the outcome of the white product I was shooting on the white mini cyc wall I had. I just happened to have heavy weight translum material at the studio and switched it out for the setup you have here and the difference is night and day!

7:50 helped me so much. I was bumping up exposure on the camera to eliminate the grey background, but my white products were starting to wash out. Made me realise my lighting approach was wrong. Excited to try this out over the weekend. Thank you.

I totally agree. White on white is so boring and creatively limiting, but so many client types what it. I still really enjoyed hating your take on it. Quite often the white product can loose shape and depth or even fall into the white background. Great use of black cards to help revive the product and pull in out. Very cool my dude!

I really want to get into a lot more, for product photography..so lots of learning and practice. I love all these videos of yours - addressing all the lighting challenges.

Great video!!! You’re definitely one of the best product photography channels out there! Do you thing you could make a video about lights? I’m interested in what kind of lights are best for a beginner product photographer. Do you need fast recycling times? Or maybe short flash duration time? Whats the difference between 300W and 1kW? It’s all really confusing and I think a lot of people would benefit from that video. I hope that makes sense. Cheers!

@botvidsson

4 жыл бұрын

Hello and thanks for the kind words. You will probably not need fast recycling time that often but fast flash duration can be good if you like to freeze motion sometimes. 1000ws is a lot of power, will work for everything, 300ws is kind of ok for many situations, I use 500ws and that power work for most photo situations. Watt Seconds are the power of the flash. In product photography you want a lot of power cuz you shoot threw diffusion and you want to use high aperture numbers like f11-f16 to get as much of the photo in focus.

Great as allways😄

For me all techniques I know on photography will end up in Photoshop otherwise it will be impossible to achieve such amazing images in product photography and landscape photography.

The number one reason why white backdrop is asked is that Amazon ONLY allows the first shot of a product listing to be on pure white, so when someone searches a product group all photos the first images are on all white without distraction or clutter for all competitor products shown together on the same page for comparison. But, you are right, lots of other company websites like white also for groups product shots whether boring or not for backdrop, probably because it is easy to swap out new products later on.

@botvidsson

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for that

most excellent - I enjoyed seing how you approached this and especially the black boards used to help define the product white edges against white background. Whats interesting is that the shot didnt look as clean white in photoshop as it did in the live shoot and on your tethered software. I want to achieve pure white for catalogue product shots with minimal retouching if any ! I was thinking how to do this using constant light source too as working from home doing multiple products and flash firing all the time is overkill for products that dont move im going to give a try as white on white has always been my biggest challenge to get consistent.

@botvidsson

3 жыл бұрын

I actually had the wrong settings in Capture one, the edit tab was activated. Also, the best way to get consistent over all white is to use a bigger light source, the soft box I used was a bit small. Thanks and good luck

I don't know what modifiers Godox has, is it Bowens mount? Then you have a bit variety to chose from. 2x3" is a really good standard softbox. However, I rarely use softbox for product/still life. My suggestion is to get a reflector with a honey comb grid and shoot through diffusion paper. You can do so much more lighting setups with that. Of course, a softbox is always good to have, I would might say a strip box 1x4? is the best, more controlled then a 2x3 softbox.
