@maxbridge8921 4 года назад

I've not finished the video yet but had to comment on the pricing part at the beginning. I get contacted constantly by start-up watch brands (sometimes 2-3 times per week) and I have exactly the same experience. Personally, and I do this with all my smaller clients, I give them options. Something like, if you want the best quality imagery possible it will cost "X", if that is beyond your budget then lets come up with a brief which works for you. If they actually have some budget (not something silly like £200) then we can sometimes land in a place which works for us both. This might be by modifying the brief (simplifying or reducing quantity) or lowering the quality of the final output. It's hard with watches as start-ups just don't realise the complexity but giving them options does sometimes work. Thanks for the video! Looking forward to watching the rest

@botvidsson 4 года назад

😃 Thanks! Well, I think it's so hard to reduce the quality by purpose when I take photos, it's like a knife in my heart 🥴 But I understand what you're saying, I just wish I could find a solution to work with all potential clients. Often it's like super small budget or big budget in my experience.

@maxbridge8921 4 года назад

Completely! I hate reducing the quality, never a fun experience, you always feel rushed and am never happy with the result. At the same time, it's better for the brand as they get a photographer who knows what they're doing, as opposed to someone who charges £200 and creates a poor photo, and it's better for you as you get paid. It took me a long time to be able to do this but I'm OK at it now. I normally start by thinking about it in terms of time. It would take me X amount of time in both production and post-production to do this perfectly. With your budget ("your" being a prospective client) I will only have half the time, or a quarter of the time. Then, when I'm shooting and retouching I'm really strict and only give myself the amount of time my client could afford. They still get a pretty good shot and I still get paid. Don't get me wrong, it's really hard working like that and I don't like it but very few start-ups can afford me if I don't modify how I shoot. When doing this it's really important to set expectations. That took me a while to get right. Oh, and there's a limit of course. Some people just have no budget (or very little) and I can't help there!

@snowblow2 Год назад

Hi, I'm starting out with watchphotography and bought myself a Canon 5D Mk 1 and a Sigma 105mm lens. I tried taking picture and adjusting the white balance like you explained in the Redbull can video, but I'm not getting the results I'm looking for. If I would invest in lighting, what would you recommend for someone on a budget? Would you use a flash, strobe or continuous lighting? Umbrellas, soft box or diffusion panels? Many thanks! Arno

@botvidsson Год назад

I always suggest strobe, try finding 2 used flashes (Godox, Elinchrom or similar) with reflectors and grids+getting some diffusion material. Skip soft boxes and umbrellas.

I love how you have added the details of the products or materials you use. Very helpful! I'm sending you a NON-Covid19 cup of coffee! Stay safe my friend. Also, what brand and where can one get those black metal frames that hold the diffusion material? If they are not crazy expensive, I would like to get about three of them.

Another fantastic video! Thank you for sharing your experiences with cheapskate clients who disappear as soon as they're quoted a reasonable price for their product photography. My experience has been the same. Many clients aren't sophisticated enough to understand how much time, effort and talent it takes to produce beautiful commercial images of products as complex as a watch. I suggest that in the future, before quoting your price for a watch photography gig, you should send the potential client a link to this video, then discuss your price.

Hi From what i can read online when using a polarizing filter you will need a natural source of light or polariserende film in front of strobes(which seems to be expensive) but you do it with diffusers here and clearly got it to work. Please help my confusion

@botvidsson 3 года назад

It is often enough with just a Pol filter on the camera, it all depends on where the light comes from, what angle. If your light comes from a "bad" angle you can add the pol filter on the light, this might help you more. At some point I will do a proper pol filter video tutorial, both lens and light pol filters.

@bogdanpopescu8406 2 года назад

There are TWO steps : first you CREATE the polarising light, with a polarising film on the light itself (flash), then you use this already polarised light with a CPL filter on the camera lens.

Thanks for this video, adding a polarizer filter was a hit! Yes, I think watch photography is one of the hardest things to do.

I recently did a shoot for a watch seller who specialises in aftermarket sales, I had 12 watches with a total combined value of about £250k LOL Wish I would have seen this earlier! :) Do you have a video on your focus stacking procedure?

I have a speed retouch video for this watch. Look under retouching playlist

Like you say Martin, many people underestimate watch (or any high end product) photography, and hence don't appreciate the price tag we put to the pictures we'r expected to take for them. stay safe.

It's the world we live in. People deal in sound bites and instagram. As you imply some people don't study and consider 'good enough' as a benchmark. When I look at the investment made, I feel the pricing is fair.
