I'm Skyler, the food photographer here at We Eat Together! Get ready to learn how to create epic food photography, produce seriously tasty videos and grow as a creative.
Skyler showcases the HUGE difference between a professional like himself and a scrub like myself. After watching this video, I realize how much of an absolute amateur I am when taking product photography shots for my Ebay store.
just found your video. i too use Win products and i have a small (old!) android tablet but have thought of getting something newer and larger. i just want to be able to have a bigger monitor type screen when shooting with people, and on location. i HAVE dragged my laptop out (i dont have a desktop pc anymore) but it seems like a lot more crap to haul around and i dont want ti have it wrecked or stolen. is there a way to use TT directly to an Android tablet? ive got the cables (for my 5d4 and for my new r62) and i know the latest LrC now supports the r6 so i should be good there but still looking for a tablet/monitor deal. i just dont know enough about ANY of this
Amazing 🤩 just saw it. Where we eat together gone. Here's a nice formula to get a good fizz. Citric acid, vinegar, Sodium bicarbonate and water you can use only one of those with vinegar and water and it will give you a fizz that'll last forever 😂😂 with a lot of bubbles 😉😉
Just a humble observation: You're sacrificing clear instructional material in order to make a snazzy video. I don't think the person wanting to learn wants the fast pacing.
Nice break down of the setup. Your diffusion sheet, what is the stop diffetence factor of that sheet, one or two. I like to use salt to help restore fizz. I find it works well along with the carbonated drinks.
Hello my friend, Great and informative video, please I would really appreciate it if you read my comment and reply. I do cooking videos and I would like to find Sony camera lens that is able to take 4k image to a cooking pan from about a meter away to avoid the heat and the splashing oil but at the same time to be able to zoom very close to get a micro image to the ingredients. I would really appreciate your help.
Great product, but if they want to market to the western world they should really invest in a proper English site. Their shipping prices are not listed, and prices are only listed in Yen. Understandable, but non-typical for a western person. With a proper English/western website they would do much better.
I love it when someone comes along and says what you're thinking deep down, but don't translate it into a reality. You, Skyler, just brought me that clarity in 8:36 seconds. Thanks mate.
This is a nice method but at this point you could as well do everything in CG. All steps from lighting to label wrapping would be a lot more efficient and consistent. Users can't tell the difference. You can pull it off even in Blender.
Great video, Skyler - as always 🙌Something else - I have a topic/concern that I thought you could be just the right person to ask if you have a few thoughts on that you might want to share: I am a product and food photographer and I am very curious about the topic of using images to build a brand perception. The specific thing that gets my attention to the topic is when I see businesses using mix of professional product images and images they make on their own. The challenge is this: How do we as as photographers “convince” our existing and potential customers of the value in investing in product photography when they see the same number of likes / comments on their Instagram posts with their own images as the ones they have from a professional product photographer? As an example: I have a long-term retainer client for whom I made product images every month for 2-3 years and while they have been very exited about working together and that we have creating a strong brand perception for them over the last years I now see that they started mixing in their own mobile product images with a very different style (they have grown and recently hired somebody in marketing with time to do a bit of photography as well). Of course, personally I am worried to loose clients like them when they realise that get as much engagement on their own images. But even more I am concerned about the direction this is going for us as photographers in general. Naturally there is a difference in the quality of the images as well as the consistency in the style and mood + who they attract, what it says about the business etc. when I compare the professional images to the ones the businesses create on their own. Often what happens (I think) is that businesses/brands have a certain follower group that will like and comment JUST because there is a new post - not necessarily based on the quality of the image. But the businesses might just note that there is not a big difference in the engagement, so why invest in images for social media / website? And a side question to the topic: How would you advice a client about/against mixing their own images with the product images they pay a photographer to make on website and social media? Thanks in advance if you have some clever words to share on this challenge, Skyler - it will be much appreciated 🫶 Best from Susanne
This is a very interesting topic, too much to fully answer here, but since your working with the brand and new marketer, I might put together a little pitch with some case studies from other brands you think are doing an awesome job of keeping a tight brand aesthetic. Show them how other brands are doing it right and how you can do that for them.
Hi, very helpful videos! I'm thinking of starting a small food photography business. Deciding which light to get...I want to be mobile and on the go...would you know if the Zhiyun M20/C can work as my main light for Food Photography? Thanks.
@@jordancruz9843 If your looking for a constant light, I personally would go for a Amaran 150c, it's a little more money, but it's well built and has a Bowens mount for modifiers. It's not as portable but comes in a nice case.
Its one of the neatest fabrics period! I've seen cars painted in the same shade, they look so ridiculous lol. This allows for a lot less light discipline, using flags, etc. Very cool
yeah its about $65.57 a meter and gets cheaper the more you order, you might only need 2 meters or less for most product shoots. The paint is not as black, but probably pretty good.
@@betterburnout I would say at least 3 meters / yards and as wide as it comes for full body portraits. Headshots you could get away with less. More is always better.
@@skylerburtphotos 36 x 43 is $129.90 on Japan Depot their American Distributor, regardless it's pricey. Flag them lights off the background, use grids, barndoor etc and you will get prue black.....That being said, could still use a yard or two.
I did a similiar photoshoot for Tartufo products Brand here in Italy. The only thing the client didn0t want was the reflection on one side of the bottles so I put the softbox above the bottles to light the front and label, and with a polarizer filter I removed the reflection of the softbox from the glass. Lot of time spent in post production, but I didn't had the budget to pay for someone to do that for me. Patience is the key :D
