Hey everyone. Welcome back to the studio, which is starting to look like a liquor store. But it's pandemic times, so no judging.
In this video I go through various steps of on-white photography for glass bottles, perfect for e-com or catalog product photography. This is the first in what I hope to become a series of tutorial videos on how to photograph in a studio.
I mentioned some specific products, and have compiled some Amazon affiliate links if you want to go shopping (at no extra cost to you):
Seamless Paper, 26" wide:
amzn.to/2ZgP0Vd
Yongnuo YN560-III Speedlite
amzn.to/2WzEWF2
Newer Bracket:
amzn.to/3dLusbw
Neewer 8 x 36 inches Stripbox (Bowens)
amzn.to/2WFc3qZ
Profoto OCF Softbox 1x3'
amzn.to/2TeLhUf
Profoto B10

So, i realise you don’t have a load of followers, but here is the thing, I’m a musician and during lockdown i had no work for around 18 months, desperate i started looking for a day job, i don’t really have any other skills apart from photography, in my desperation i found an opportunity with a drinks company, they asked me to come in a test shoot, I did what many clueless photographer would do and jumped on RU-vid to see how the hell you shoot bottles! Your video popped up and I followed it step by step, i went in to their offices with a mobile setup and bingo I got the gig. So in case you haven’t guessed yet, this message is an enormous THANK YOU, your video really helped set me on the right track! You see you never know who’s watching and how it can help. Good luck and thanks again. Tony.

someone shared your video link on reddit for product photography. But when I thought to subscribe you, I found out that this is the only video tut you made. If you are planning to keep this going am happy to subs you. I found your channel as tech review, not as photography tut.

@stevenlawrence139 3 года назад

Morning, Thanks for the video ch3m1st! That diffusion paper idea open my eyes to getting those highlights to becoming gradients! Do you happen to know where you can purchase those? If not I guess any shoot through material would work( I.e. bed sheets, the diffusion panel from a 5-in-1 reflector)

@ch3m1st 3 года назад

The diffusion I use is called Translum by Savage (same colony that makes seamless paper.) they make different thicknesses but I’ve only tried the heavyweight for the most even diffusion. Other brands like Lee and Rosco also offer diffusion rolls.

@angelatelesca4512 4 года назад

Thanks for your video. Could you link the purchase source for the small acrylic basement and stand please?

@ch3m1st 4 года назад

Hi Angela, the exact mini metal table I use is this: Impact Wall Plate with 5/8" Locking Receiver amzn.to/3gaeIRe mounted on a short c-stand, but any light stand will work. You could also use something like this plate with a stud instead of a receiver, amzn.to/3cSgcxx and mount it in a grip head or arm. for the acrylic, I got a 6x12' from a local shop, but this would be similar on amazon: amzn.to/36eLKeC acrylic can be scored with a blade a few times and then snapped to size. (just be careful)

@daleelliott7390 Год назад

Found that lighting diagram for the last set-up particularly helpful with a white whine bottle I just shot. Camera settings wise what do you typically shoot in these sort of scenarios?

@ch3m1st 9 месяцев назад

Camera settings are always fluid, but 1st requirement is that you have a black frame without strobes so you know all of the light in the frame is what you added, and not ambient. ISO usually as low as possible, Shutter speed is sync speed of your camera, typically 1/125 - 1/160s, and aputure is dependent on depth of field, but f/8 -f/11 should be a good start.

thankyou bro, im struggling to find the right light composition with the poor gear i have hahah... i already subs & like your channel

@multiviousstudio2969 4 года назад

Nice video tutorial. Really nicely structured. Still learning to improve my work from time to time. I've a struggle on shooting products have really bright neon colors, so I'm curious to know if there is a solution when using with the lighting strobe. Everytime I shoot with my lighting setup, the color isnt the same as the actual product itself. My current "work around", I take without any strobe/speedlight by only using a slow shutter. So that I can "achieve" the actual color representation but it will appear flat as I dont have the lighting to create the depth that I need. Thanks and keep up the good work!

@ch3m1st 4 года назад

Color reproduction is often a challenge. One thing to consider is lighting it to create the shape and texture you want and fixing the color in post production.

@multiviousstudio2969 4 года назад

@@ch3m1st Thanks for the reply. Yeah, looks like no short cut to that. Ha ha

@ch3m1st 4 года назад

Multivious Studio another reason is cameras see colors differently than people. For example refraction rainbows are difficult to capture of some materials that look holographic. Also neon glow is activated by UV and strobes filter that out. There are UV flash tubes for capturing in camera but they are so $$$ and rare, it’s better to just do it in post.

@maxiporik 9 месяцев назад

I use Savage Translum diffusion rolls in heavyweight.

@stephan5817 3 года назад

Hi, I’ve watched this hundreds of times, I have the same gear, I’ve set it up the same but cannot get the same results, if I shoot against a soft box the backgrounds overexposed and the floor is under exposed, bottle is clear so it just over exposes everything. Are you able to help?

@ch3m1st 9 месяцев назад

with super clear bottles, it gets a bit tricky. try using black flags to retain edge detail.

@happysunshinemedia7092 2 года назад

is there a way to get rid of cross light shadows without having a light in the background?

@ch3m1st 9 месяцев назад

clip the bottle out in post?

You can try amazon or a plastic dealer. My local store (Canal Plastics) has been closed for the longest time but I have ordered other acrylic from Tap Plastics online.
