As a film school grad and a hybrid photo/video shooter, I always felt like I never got enough hands on experience at school. Especially since I'm a hybrid shooter I always felt like I was trying to do too many different things and never was able to focus. For the new year I decided to limit what I do so I can focus and decided to focus on product photography as a way to practice lighting and a more commercially viable stream of photography. Finding your channel has been amazing for me, I am very much enjoying learning from your hands-on approach, thank you so much for being an amazing content creator who actually understands what they are trying to do while also being a great teacher. Many thanks from Canada!

Thank you Martin! Another very helpful tutorial. Actually I managed to focus with Hellicon Remote and my 5d mark iii without any problem (and I was on the trial version).

I have the mark3 too so maybe I should give it a try. The problem I had was to set the in and out point. The focus did not move.

@jimjimgl3 2 года назад

You made reflective surfaces your friend instead of your enemy... I think I'd probably go with your second recommendation of shooting everything separately and compositing in post. On some shoots I've rigged either a white 4x8 foam core above the set or a black 4x8 foam core above the set to provide bounce or negative space but now I want to try your method...

@botvidsson 2 года назад

In this shot I made it a bit easy for myself in this shot angling the products away from each other... sort of.

@umerzafar 2 года назад

Super useful tutorial. How many shots did you take for focus stacking eventually? did you hold up the mirror for each of those shot?

@botvidsson 2 года назад

Around 20-30 shots for stacking and I chose not to use the mirror in my final shot as you see in the thumbnail. It I go for shadows with the mirror I would have attached it on a stand/clamp, the mirror must be fixed and not moving in between the stacking shots. Thanks

Hey Martin, It's been a while. Been working on Still Life shooting. this past year. I have set up a small Studio in my Garage, and I don't have a lot of ceiling, maybe, 8 feet. I also don't have a white ceiling, its dark with No reflection value. Can you use an overhead flash down on the product with a large rectangular soft box? Or, would setting up large pieces of white foam bord above the flashs work better?

@botvidsson 2 года назад

Have not tried with a softbox, you can do a quick test. Make sure to place it as close as possible. However, it sounds like a great idea to rig up a huge foam board, but it needs to be huge. One other way is to place a big diffusion material straight over the scene and then shoot a flash from above straight down. If you like to have the mirrored shadows you then need to use a second flash for that, you actually don't need a mirror then, just shoot a bare flash on the set, should probably work.

@LeonKolenda 2 года назад

@@botvidsson Thank you, I will try those and see which works better. I have a large roll of medium Translum, so i will try that.

Thanks for sharing. Which tripods/Stands did you use to hold the tabletop? Are there holes under the tabletop to put them on the tripod bolts? Or are there small work plates on top of the tripods?

@botvidsson Год назад

It's 4 c-stands, most expensive solution on the planet 😁 No holes, the IKEA kitchen top is just resting on the c-stands. Might have some gaffa so they wont glide so easily.

@juergen-schanz Год назад

That's not the most expensive solution. sounds like a DIY craft solution with the things that were available within a radius of 3 meters without leaving the room. Very likeable 👍😄

@murtazatinwala5263 2 года назад

Damn.... Thats really helpful trick to use ceiling as bigger light source... i recently tried to shoot a sphere made of Copper with totally glossy finish and it didnt go well... bcoz it reflects everything around it .... any suggestions..

@botvidsson 2 года назад

That's very very hard to shoot a glossy sphere. The ideal way is to have a dome diffusion with a hole for the lens, but... that will make the sphere look matte so then you can spray it with hairspray and light it just with some diffusion in different areas. So, a dome created with diffusion paper or a lamp-shade from IKEA like I use. Think it's called Melodi. Then place some black cards to get some hard shadows to show that the sphere is glossy. You can also try to use reflector with honey comb grid through diffusion from one side and then leave the other black. Maybe add one more flash from back/side also with diffusion.
