Such extraordinary results from such a small, simple setup. Love how you went through each & every step & even used a preset we didn’t have to download somewhere too. Thank-you! Great channel by the way! Definitely see you going far!!
I am not a photographer by any means, but needed some advice for taking photos of my product. Thank You ! This was very helpful, and a reliable pov for what I naturally don't really see
Great video. Thanks for making this. What I struggle with most if understanding what background/floor would look good. How the lighting should hit, and the props part. So, basically everything where a decision about photo needs to be made. I can take photos, but the decision of where things should be, is hard for me. But then I understand it's a process, and if I keep trying, I will get there. :)
My answer to this is boring but it's what worked for me. Put in a lot of repetition. Take a lot of photos on different setups and eventually, it will all make sense in your head and just come naturally. It worked for me, maybe it will work for you :)
I've been watching Replica videos, i guess that is why your channel was recommended to me. Glad to have found your channel. This is exactly what i was looking for! The best part about your style of teaching, i felt motivated and inspired to try because of your simplistic approach, usually i feel overwhelmed after watching tutorials. Subscribed!
I like the intermediate and the Pro! Personally I like the slightly more moody lighting of the pro. It would really depend on what the client was looking for. THANKS 👍 for sharing!!!
@@ChrisPieta no problem man, keep it up! I do have a question though, what one light would you recommend in the $150 range? I have some cheap ones but can’t afford to spend much more than that
This was extremely thorough and informative! I appreciate the step-by-step explanation. I'm gonna follow this to take some photos of some product packaging I created for my graphic design portfolio
As a person that knows nothing about photography but I would be a consumer of the product I think the beginner photo looks way better. It’s less distracting to me than the others.
Nice. I definitely like the last one best, showing the tincture being added to the coffee - definitely the best story telling. Thanks for including the bit about how you edited in Lightroom
Thanks for the tips to tell a story. I like the intermediate and pro level. I do basic product photography now days as a hobby but always looking for videos to improve myself.
Thanks Chris for such a nice video I have started a small skincare business. And I am definitely going to try these edited and lighting setup🎉 Thanks again❤
You have really helped me with creating a new platform for my Instagram page. I’m struggling to take great photos and I stubble a help of a lot when doing reviews. Camera shy I guess. I see you write a script before filming. Great idea
Hey Chris! Thanks for this awesome tutorial. It has been difficult to find tips and advice on my specific photography needs. Would you consider doing a tutorial on flat lay product photography? I take pictures of baby items such as baby clothes, baby announcement signs, and baby blankets. How do I compose and light my shots to make the products soft and inviting yet professional?
@@ChrisPieta looking forward to it! I occasionally work with a glass blower, and the best I can do is relocate the light and use a smaller source. I’d love to eliminate it all together.
Thank you so much for this! I learned alot! I wanted to start product photography - I think I have potential in it. But, I only have a Sony ZV-1 and Canon M200 with the kit lens - by any chance do you have more tutorials? Especially for a camera like ZV1? Will go through your channel.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Much better than the two videos outranking you for product photography. BTW, I actually liked the "intermediate" shot the best.
Great stuff Chris! I love seeing your process. I do see a lot of Peter McKinnon in your work - I love his style as well! You made the process look easy (but I know it's work). Thanks for your video!
Super helpful video! I’m doing a product shoot and needed an instructional. Nailed it! Just what the doctor ordered. Production value recommendation for your video would be to deliver direct to camera and cut in b-roll of your process. GREAT content and very helpful. My comment is related to invite you towards greater excellence so you can continue to excel in your goals! Haven’t seen any of your other videos, so my comment may be entirely irrelevant but wanted to give back as best as I can in this one touch point. Thanks for your excellent input for my project!
Thanks for watching and the helpful input Elijah. A lot of my content is talking head focuses so still trying to get the tutorials right. Glad they're still helpful. Will work on that production value, my latest stop motion guide is slightly better, would love to hear your thoughts on that one!
I enjoyed seeing this helpful video giving your insights and approaches. I was suprised how much bokeh you were getting at f6.3 and I am guessing thats due to using a full frame camera. My crop sensor will give me that sort of bokeh at around 2.8 and Ive been on the fence about upgrading my 8 year old canon as just cant decide whether to stick with crop sensor and the lenses I have or spend more and go full frame - I believe either will do a great job for my product shoots but maybe full frame gives an extra edge in quality, clarity, nicer bokeh and dynamic range
Which camera do you recommend for beginner? I am building my online shop and after set up everything in the website I will start making the photos of my products.
trouble is you make it look easy but I bet it took you sometime investing in yourself,I'm from the UK can you do a video on getting your first client? great channel and I am subscribed.
Good approach. But the diffuser is seen in the bottle. Ideally that shouldn't be visible at all. How do you remove that and yet make it illuminated perfectly?
Hey Bart, Great question. Usually it get's removed in photoshop, I didn't cover that here since it take some time. It's not a huge deal, but just depends on your preference. Alternatively you can use a bigger light source, or multiple light sources so it's not as harsh.
This is awesome!!! I'm new to photography and I wanna dive in different types, portrait, real estate and product photography. This helped me a lot!! Liked, comment, and subscribed!!!
@@ChrisPieta thank you very much for your reply! I would personally love a step by step guide on doing product photography like you do :) I tend to get caught up by the tiny details. Anyways, thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful!
I suppose it would have been even nicer nice to change the reflextion aswell. Now it looks like a studio light reflection and it's rather big too. So either make it abit smaller, or perhaps make it into a window reflextion instead or something els. But I don't know I am not the pro here ^^ also nice tips, thanks!
