Hi Joanie. I'm just in love with you videos. Not just because your excellent and well taught content but mainly because you're always in a good mood and smiling, laughing, making jokes as sharing your insights with us. Every time I watch any of your videos I feel hypnotized then the video is over. Thanx with all my heart!

@emanuelapirola6867 6 лет назад

Love this! I'm a total beginner and I'm learning so much with you💕 Thank you for sharing all your knowledges so nicely ⭐️

@debbricault9350 6 лет назад

Thank you for the great tutorial -- especially for the suggestion of creating diagonal shadows with your lighting. I think that makes all the difference in the world!

@MichaelTchao 4 года назад

Thanks Joanie!! You were one of the first people I started watching when I started my journey into video almost a year ago. You've always been a great teacher, and I love referring back to your vids whenever I forget something! Byyeeee👋!

This makes so much sense!!! and now i can look back and see why a number of my photos in the past didn't look right.

@lougazzola5718 6 лет назад

Love the tips on flat lay lighting -- so difficult to get it just right. My favourite extra is the where you say you'll play around with the composition for another twenty minutes as I keep playing with angles, story etc. Only I measure it in hours!

@mariawalker292 6 лет назад

Hi Joanie, Oh my god....I have watched almost all your videos in the last week and I have been playing around with the tips that you give. I have also tested some shots in Manual mode as opposed to Auto or others, and I almost want to cry....from happiness....The difference is night and day, I could never imagine that a photo can be so affected by certain things...Really I want to cry and jump around screaming from joy..Thank you. I wish I could show you the before and after pictures and how your advice and guidance has improved my photos. I don't do food photography, I do clothes flat lay photography right now and your information applies 100%. I'm so happy. Thank you thank you thank you. I also love your vibes and watching your videos is pretty addicting, you are so funny, beautiful and fun. :)

@shanescott3168 5 лет назад

Great tips! The lighting tips in your videos have been invaluable to me. Aperature and depth of field is so important in food photography. Thank you for touching on the subject. I have a food photoshoot this Thursday, so I am reviewing your videos. You are a good teacher and have a great personality. Thank you!

@camille4574 3 года назад

Thank you for this! I love taking flatlays, mine are of craft projects (I crochet) but the concept is largely the same in the sense that the objects I'm photographing have a lot of detail and not much height. Thank you for your helpful tips about fill light and diagonal shadows!

@tom_something 3 года назад

Thank you for your tips. I've been watching several of your videos as well as others, and I just finished my first flat lay project. When the light was coming down from the top of the frame, all of the items looked really good, but I had very long shadows. When the light was almost directly behind the camera, the shadows looked good but the products looked awful. Unable to strike a happy medium, I comped two shots in Photoshop. I was pretty happy with the results. I wouldn't have been able to do that if I was just standing on a chair holding the camera. You helped convince me to invest in a C-stand. So thanks for that as well!

@caitdoyle6817 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! I was wondering if you(or anyone else for that matter!) has a lower cost LED panel recommendation other than the Westcott? I don't need any other colors/bells & whistles. Just bright "window" light to diffuse & reflect the crap out of. Thank you very much in advance!

@gerardoarechiga7356 5 лет назад

Thanks for another great video Joanie, where can I find that bounce card. Haven’t been able to find it at the regular stores (B&H, Adorama, Samys etc.)

@monasaeed2131 Год назад

Hi Joanie, First of all you are the best ever, you are making a huge improvement on other’s lives and I am on of them 💪💪 Just would like to ask, i need artificial light, what is that rectangular one you use? And is this good for cooking videos also? I don’t have large space at home for soft boxes, so this one or soft box?

@msena9203 6 лет назад

hi what c stand and camera mount is that in this video? it looks sturdy. great vids and enjoy the pace and content. Im aimed mostly at event and portrait, but this food lark looks interesting.

@SaraGsinH 6 лет назад

Hey, HUGE FAN over here! So... I was considering changing the pink surface for pink cloth (clearly nothing too "see-through" or anything)... do you think it'll work as well?

@NaNa-id3ft 5 лет назад

this video is awesome but my #1 curiosity is WHAT type of table do you use?! lol i just havnt seemed to find a decent work table.

@meebsheartivy1647 3 года назад

Jonnie will you plzz share ever your beginning food photography scenes.. how it went so perfect

@Ginaslifeinvideos 5 лет назад

Joanie, is there a reason to prefer flash over an LED light? I have been using flash but I am curious if you have a preference and if there is a reason for using one over the other for certain shots.

@rajmarathe1 5 лет назад

Very nice video. I just discovered you on RU-vid. Subscribed. I didn't see the link below for the c-stand camera mount. Could you provide that? Thank you.

@jedi1967 2 года назад

Great video. At 5:52 where you mention flash-based lighting on a flat lay, can you send me the link of that video. I am having some issues with shadows with this type of lighting to get a better flat lay and eliminate the shadows. Thank you

@JennaJohnsonRecipeDiaries 6 лет назад

What kind of table is that you are shooting on? Do you have an Amazon link for it?

@danielidoine766 4 года назад

Great tips and really cool presentation! I just wanted to suggest that despite having a sturdy cstand or tripod, if you are shooting at 1/30 it would be better to use a remote, mirror lock up and 2 or 10 second timer to minimise wobble. I use the manafotto 190xpro3 and it wobbles like a diving board if you are not careful!
