Thanks for this video - really great to see the subtle differences. I bought some new grids so will try them out on my next shoot!

@matthias.emminger Год назад

I always love the softest shadows. Thanks for this comparison. Great content!

@nicholaswhite5419 Год назад

20Deg. Grid + Diffusion at 3-6 feet feels like a great combo for me. Great information and content, thank you.

@user-dm3il5ym7u 6 месяцев назад

keep em coming! :D great video as always ️ I really like the diffusion+reflector combo look, i think it would be easier to manipulate the highlights and shadows in post, but then it's all a matter of style.

Great job man!! this is what we need to know about lighting! Thank you so much!!

@Swiatlowrazliwy 10 дней назад

Thank you for all your videos, inspirations etc. I'm huge fan of yours! I discovered that grid with diffusion is the best setup for away shoots in restaurant etc. as I don't have to take any softbox, only very handy stuff as I use big 5 in 1 reflector/diffuser and not a rolled paper :D and the light quality is amazing!

@robertenglebright8257 Год назад

Thanks for this quick tutorial. Very helpful.

I love this vid a lot! I'm still trying to get away from thinking what I like or what I'm doing is "wrong". This vid reassures me that sometimes something might not be wrong, just different!

Fantastic video! Everything I never learned in my expensive NYC private art school.

@skylerburtphotos 9 месяцев назад

I didn't learn much in expensive Cali private photo school either, don't feel bad.

@southernaccentfoods Год назад

Softbox at 1ft is the clear winner for me. I don't need a lot of moodiness or depth in my YT thumbnails, I just need bright and clear photos of the subject without too much contrast. That's just my needs and preference though. There's no right or wrong answer.

@madhveedeb Год назад

Great video and lighting explanation. Can you please tell me what material is your pink background.

@user-ru2db1nj9m 5 месяцев назад

how did you make the photos go straight to the Ipad? Excellent video tks!

@nightdonutstudio Год назад

I do love light through large diffuser. it gives the most control. But that is another 3 equipments you have to carry. One heavy duty lightstand, one arm that hold the diffuser And the diffuser material itself. And depend on which diffuser you chosse it can get heavy and big. For on location shoot, I hate carrying more stuffs and it takes more time to set up and adjust. If you shoot in studio, forget what I say here😂. So I just condense down to softbox. One lightstand one softbox, easy to move around on location. Faster set up. Less control but can still produce great result.

I need the workout

@sunilchitolie6771 Год назад

Great video! What diffusion do you use? I couldn't find it listed in your description/amazon list. Would love to know!

@skylerburtphotos Год назад

I use roll paper from Superior Seamless, I think you can find it on my Amazon shop page or just search the brand name

@Old00Farth Год назад

You needed one combination as I see it ...? Diffusion paper and the softbox - that must be just Wow !!! 🙂Or will that be just 2 soft? Thanks for the Video - it's a keeper :-)

@skylerburtphotos Год назад

Whichever you're thinking is correct

@malissaschayes3604 Год назад

Awesome! What was your camera settings for the soft box & diffusion??

@skylerburtphotos Год назад

I can't really remember, but the diffusion paper I use cuts the amount of light by about 2 stops

@hRt42kuo7jTtmk14 Год назад

I also like the setup of the reflector with the grid and tracing paper diffusion in front of the light the best. But I also quite like using a second light on the other side of the food in combination, also with a grid, but with no diffusion and some barn doors to create some hard, specular highlights on the top of the food in the shadow area.

@skylerburtphotos Год назад

this is a great setup

@patrickspahr825 Год назад

Have you done a video on continuous lighting for food videos? I’m wanting to “dabble.” So it has to be really good but, perhaps, not the best (most expensive. Any direction you may have to sort this would be most appreciated.

@skylerburtphotos Год назад

Try godox or aperture anything above 150w.

@julioriviera Год назад

skyler you have tether your ipad or you are mirroring the screan of your computer?

@skylerburtphotos Год назад

Mirrored from my computer

@annehenry6821 Год назад

Condensed perfection...

@halumin Год назад

Would you be interested in trying Halumin? It’s a new kind of lighting modifier for food and small products.

@wendsignstudio Год назад

May I know, what kind of tool did you use to hang the camera? What is the name ? and where can i buy it ? thank you

@skylerburtphotos Год назад

It's an overhead camera rig. I have a video on it, but if you would like to buy it you can shop out the parts in my Store in the description. I have a full parts list at the link

@wendsignstudio Год назад

@@skylerburtphotos thank you very much. i will try to find it in my country, Indonesia.

@henrikkiilerich Год назад

@kristijanignjatovski4415 Год назад

Hi,just to ask,what diffuser paper is that?

@skylerburtphotos Год назад

It comes in a roll you can find in my amazon store

@SorinBucse 9 месяцев назад

im curious, where do you get your backgrounds and your wood boards. Can you maybe make a video on that. If you did them yourself, can you do a DIY video? Thank you for the awesome content. Looking forward to more amazing vids.

@skylerburtphotos 9 месяцев назад

I have a few videos on my channel already on making backdrops. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ib8tUEWlrPc.html
