Hi Dustin. Another great video with some excellent tips. I never knew about holding down shift with the patch tool. Certainly speeds things up. Hope you have a nice week long break, looking forward to the next video.
Hey Dustin ! Watched some of your vids ... actually - almost everyone ... and I really do like your style and the casual approach you come forward with. Unfotunately I'm not much for Facebook and such, so I won't see you there. But never the less, I have certainly subscribed to your channel. Lots and lots of product photography tips and tricks to pick up, even if you are (like me) on studio strobes. Doesn't really matter because all it's about is how you use the lights you have at your disposal. Looking forward to more of your vids.
So good Dustin. Love this so much. Your fabulous ideas and the way you convey to your viewers. I love the Photoshop tutorials so much as well. Thank you again for another great video. You have inspired me once again.
Great stuff! I have done similar using snoot+grid. Also using a keychain LED flashlight. All done with lighten blend. Love the idea of bouncing off the wall like this.
hey, great tutorial from workphlo, hands down, but how did you get that rich blue spot at the bottom of the product by throwing light directly to the wall ?
I too wondered how to capture this, since I always shot product photography with speedlights. There is a lot of great lighting gear/mods available these days!
Another great tutorial and an awsome shot. I enjoyed this almost as much as the totally rock’in wine photography tutorials you do. So many tip’s here I had to watch it three times in a row. Thanks Dustin.
What I like about your video is that you can always turn something simple beautiful and classic. Very nice! And whole setup is within my budget, XD. Not mention a bonus with photoshop editing ! :D
Dustin, thanks again for sharing so much useful information, and articulated so well. Wish you had a course just on Photoshop, you make it look so easy. When I brush I get purple lines as it plays catchup and never looks like yours. :-).
Hey Dustin, Great video, as usual. Thanks for the explanation about how to mix 2 layers in lighting mode (I was wondering that too). Could you please answer here to my questions, they are very important for me: 1. Why are you using stripboxes instead of large square or rectangular softboxes? Are there any advantages for product photography using stripboxes or they are just more compact and easy to use? I already have flashes (still no batteries) and I will need to mix product photogtaphy with model photography fifty/fifty. Can I buy just a set of big softboxes for that? 2. What is the best direction of lighting to get the best product reflection on plexiglass? Should it be only one rear flash or rear and side flashes combo? Tnank you! Alex
Stripboxes are preferable for sometimes getting thin highlights, which can be tricky with a larger softbox. Plus the thin shape makes them easy to place in cozy schemes. I prefer a rear flash for a reflection, angled down towards the background such that it shows up in the surface. You can also use a flash light looking through your viewfinder, to find the magic location. Cheers
Now I know why your skin looks so silky smooth. I use Oil of Olay myself, I get a big tub from Costco and just go to town. lol How you doin brah? You make this shit look so easy.............just 2 Yongnuo speed lights. The results are splendid!!!!! as always.
Great work! Can you do a tutorial on a water bottle or clear product with a clear label that’s see threw. I.e. Aquafina - little challenge maybe? Curious how you would approach it! Thanks
Great video. Really useful and concise information. Hey, I ordered my support plate yesterday so it's on its way to the UK. Do you hand deliver so we can grab a coffee and chat about lighting? :o)
So the spot is reflected off of the wall and onto the plexiglass? Never thought of that before. But recently purchased the Rogue gels and liked my limited results so far.
Amazing stuff as always! Does the ambient light in the room not bother the shot because you are at a F16+? Amazing how light it is in there and it does not come through in the shot - how many stops are you underexposed? Keep up the great work!!
Hi Brandon, we use a custom solution - a metal plate welded to a nut. You can see it briefly at the end of our DIY Diffusion Panel Video. Google "Baby Wall Plate" for an alternative
Thanks Dustin! I found this on Amazon. Tell me what you think! www.amazon.com/Pro-Laptop-Projector-Stand-Adjustable/dp/B003GEKXRM/ref=sr_1_sc_15?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1536947813&sr=1-15-spell&keywords=cheap+lightstands
An easier way to select a color, is be in brush mode (B), and hold alt (I think), then the dropper will come up with a wheel around it. You can click and hold as you move the mouse around and see the color you are selecting. Makes things a little easier to see the color you are selecting and the previous color you had selected.
Just a little tip to speed up a little the workflow: When you drag a layer to another file using the move tool, if you hold the shift key while doing it, the layer will be perfectly centered when you release the mouse button. No need to align using snap after.
Yes, the angle we look at the product makes the plexiglas reflect a (very far distance away) wall. Since light power falls off exponentially, the distance is enough to render a black surface.
