straight to the point and no bullshit, you my man are an absolute legend
agreed
Thank you ! We try
This is really slick work. I do a lot of product photography professionally and my studio tends to be crammed with a lot of gear; numerous lights, scrims, backgrounds, modifiers....the list goes on. sometimes that's great, but other times it can end up almost being a barrier to creativity and means I'm thinking more about what gear I'm using than I am about the final shot itself. Seeing such good-looking results with minimal gear like this is always interesting to see.
Thank you Andrew, that was great to read. I agree and I've been trying to minimize lately, gives you a fresh perspective. Cheers!
I used to do a lot of this sort of work back in the 90's when I was still using 4*5 Sinar cameras etc. One trick we used back then was to have a large sheet of glass positioned at 45deg across the lens in front of the bottle. We would then fire a large diffused light at right angles to the camera but pointed at the glass. What this meant was that the camera was shooting through the glass and the light source was bouncing off the 45 deg angled glass towards the bottle. this meant that all the highlights in the gold foil in the center of the label that werent picking up the light were actually being hit. We had to color correct for the glass and also use polarisers. Of course this was before Photoshop had got to the point of making this sort of thing easy so we had to use lighting techniques to solve those problems.
great tip, even for a digital workflow this would be useful.
I agree!
That is fascinating. Thank you for that
Glad you've finally got a sponsor! Well earned!
Thanks Chevy!
These videos are killer. I can’t get enough. Thank you for being so concise.
Thank you Bart, look out for a new video Monday on cutlery photography.
Hi Dustin, I'm just getting into trying some commercial photography, and wow is this great to know some of the tricks of the trade. I never would've thought to handle the label like that to bring out the gold lettering. A simple 2 light setup to make an image like this. Amazing. Thank you!
Daaang those tutorials are awesome! Always wanted to understand lighting!
Cheers Antoine, it's really simple once you wrap your head around it!
Brilliant stuff, good to see you are back
Thanks Chris, it's gonna be a good year.
A totaly great result with minimal equipment, good to watch someone using skill and knowledge rather than a truck load of gear. Well done !!
Cheers Greg, it's my passion
Great stuff man Thanks!

DUUUUUUUDDEE!! This was amazing, some really cool tricks. I just recently started getting into the product photography world as i found i really enjoy it and just how creative you can get with it. However, I was struggling a bit with getting that good metallic glow on my glass products and this helped a bunch. Thank You!
Happy to help! Make sure to subscribe eh
Another fantastic tutorial. Thanks for that. It helps a lot. Big thaknks

Wow thanks Malik. I love doing this photography
killer tutorial!
Really? I'm elated with the response, cheers
@@workphlo yeah, very down to earth and approachable - I appreciate the full walkthrough on the edits too (not something I have much of a background in). I've got a project coming up with some video product shots involving hard alcohol so I was excited to see this pop up on my feed. keep up the good work!
nice one once again. great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Really like the way you explain things! Subbing right now
You forgot :o
Amazing tutorial, it's very useful

Cheers
Geat work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great Job this video.
I was doing something similar with photographing the various levels.
This was for school over a number of weeks but unfortunately I was stopped for an open container.
I'm frightened to try to continue the project.
You did good though, thanks for the tutorial.
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Thank you for watching our tutorial Jeremiah!
Happy New Year !
Happy New Year Luiz, should be a doozie of a year
Great videos dude!
Thank you Givanza I appreciate you.
The sweatshirt is dope, my guy
Thank you!
Nice trick with the paper wrap
Cheers
I am a photography student. I wish someone like you would teach us workflow stuff there. Awesome job mate!
Maybe one day! Thanks for subscribing
Great video and well explained as always. Would love to see what creative ways you can do a product shot with your smartphone and lights you got home.
I would love to follow up on doing that Charlie, cheers.
This is great
Thank you very much. I appreciate your subscription.
sick!
Cheers Joaco
Great tutorial Outstanding!!! Thanks
Cheers Alfred. Make sure to catch our last episode on glass photography 🥂
@@workphlo will do !!!
So glad i found your channel! How would you tackle shooting packages that are crinkly like coffee bags?
I have been meaning to explore that, hopefully a video soon!
Amazing tutorial.
Glad you think so!
wow dude you so cool its wonderful
Made me smile thanks
nice work ❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Yo men, you’re the bomb. Heaven sent
Heaven sent, powerful words thank man
BIG fan of your videos, would love to see how you would address shooting beer in a glassware and aluminum can products either printed or with pressure sensitive labels! keep up the great work.
Great suggestions, I'll keep em comin!
I would love this too. And thanks for all you do. It really helps bring some professional level skills to more people.
Brilliant
Thank you so mach
I'm a photo student and shooting a Smirnoff bottle tomorrow! This helps a lot!
I know I made his specially for you! Hope it went well
Dustin I love your idea to get the label to pop using paper, that has always been my issue with metallic ink
Cheers Jerry
@@workphlo can you maybe do a video on how you would shoot a clear wine bottle with a rose wine...I can do it, but I have no edge lighting. and I feel without one its rather flat with no dimension to it..and keep it to basic gear
Hi Dustin, have just started watching your tutorials and they are great. Just wondering if you have done on on photographing a group of bottles of wine or do you simply photograph each one and then composite them all into the one shot
I often composite them together, to avoid the bottles disrupting eachother's perfect lighting. But sometimes a bottle refleciton or shadow on another bottle adds believablility. Thanks!
Thx bro 👍
🙌 cheers
You rock
Cheers Adam, you rock
great as always! I just got my first payed product photography coming up, it's gonna be 5-6 photos of wines and now I'm like binge watching all of your videos to understand better how to do this :D I'm not even afraid of the editing part that much, I just think I might have a bit of a problem with the lights as I don't have a flash or any strong lights right now...I have some LED lights but not sure if they can do the work. Oh well, let's hope it works out! :D Thanks for the videos btw! they help a ton!
That is awesome! Have fun and thanks for subscribing
i love you man
4 real
This is like voodoo magic. So glad I just found your channel.
Thanks I appreciate that
great work.... i hope you can do a round terrarium or vase and how to avoid light reflection
That would be interesting, thanks
Tank you very much for sharing your skills. I have to do some product photography work at home for my employer where subjects are several bottles od vodka. Greetings from Poland
Cheers Kris, big props to Poland
Nice Picture - nice Video :) *thumb up*
Thank you! Cheers!
Really good tutorial. I think it would probably be an easier job to do in 3D software and Keyshot now, but even if you do that, it's important to understand good product photography technique to make it look as good as possible.
I agree! I enjoy the versatility in photography. Cheers
Great tutorial. I couldn't find the translucent Savage paper anywhere. Can i use a standard white diffuser instead of this?
*This is like Bob Ross 5.0*
The voice, the presentation, the calmness, the skill... *just everything!*
Are you related...?
I wish!
Thanks for another awesome tutorial. What are you using to mount the plexiglass to the stand?

Hi! Amazing video! I want to ask if the Savage Translum is the Heavy Weight (2 stops of light) one?
Yes that is the heavy I believe!
Nice simple technique, but I have to say that the bottle glass looks matte without a hard gradient edge. Savage Translum is, well, savage! I use their medium-weight for all of my product shots. It produces incredible gradients.
I think a vodka shot is one of the unique shots that looks good without a front highlight, but I agree.
Thank you for this. Tryin to photography some water bottle i hope inwill win.
When using the speed lights to light the bottle from the top and back through the bottle with separate shots.
How did you handle your exposure for the lights? TTL or did you meter the flash for each shot?
Thanks
I didn't meter anything or use TTL, just adjusted by eye. Cheers!
Your work is legendary, Dustin. Great job. Two questions: 1) Can you recommend a Photoshop online course? (probably SkillShare eh?). :). and 2) what microphone set-up do you use for the Photoshop part of your videos? Sounds great. Thanks!
Hey Matthew! I recognize that name. I do not have a reccomendation to make at this time for a Photoshop course, but I do plan on making a long winded tutorial soon to go over many common techniques. For my microphone, I use a Zoom H1 on a small tripod stand infront of my mouth. Cheers!
@@workphlo Dustin...thanks for the note. I appreciate it. I'll look forward to that video!
This man just saved my assignment
my pleasure
unbelievable talent. what was your camera and flash settings?
Thanks! I believe around f/11-f/16 ISO 100-400 1/200s
Highly instructive. Please, could you link us to your attaching system, tray to studio stand? Or is it a DIY thing?
Hi Dustin. Never mind. I found your precise answer here on your other tutorial! Great job of yours. ua-cam.com/video/RtF0UZrKeJA/v-deo.html
Cheers! I will be producing my own stand attachment soon. Stay tuned.
Amazing work Dustin! My question is, if you have 5 bottles of Vodka, how do you make sure all those final shots come out the same? Get a c-stand to identify exact lighting positions I guess?
Great question, when needing consistency the incentive to composite goes down unless as you mention you keep everything uniform.
Sometimes I go to lengths to have a variable, but reasonably consistent accent light as you describe, but if I needed to shoot 5 bottles, I may set up a frontal reflector to shoot through (with a hole).
Cheers!
Great tutorials. Can you please provide the link to the stand that you use to set the acrylic sheet and product on? Thanks!
Stay tuned! I am producing them, as I custom welded my attachment.
@@workphlo - Thanks! Please keep up the good work. These are hands down the best product photography videos that I've seen on UA-cam.
Can I get the same affect using strobes?
Do you light the bottom of bottle? They usually get a bit darker if there is an indentation under it.
How thick is the Savage diffusion you're using? Thx!
Heavy Weight thickness, there are 3 levels. Cheers
Dustin, suggested topic: do a photo shoot using NO flash but rather using an LED strip light such as the Westcott Ice Light 2, or any of the cheaper brands.
Thank you for the suggestion!
Hi Dustin great video as always thank you 🙏 I know my question is a bit off topic but I’d appreciate your help.
I was editing a shot in photoshop on my MacBook yesterday and got it to the point I was really happy with. I then exported it as a jpg and saved it to drop box. When I open it on my iPhone to post it looks way more contrasty and I’ve lost lots of detail in the shadows where they seem to have got even darker. I’m at a loss I want to know my image looks consistent when I send it to the person I shot it for. Please can you help?
Thank you,
Nick
Great question. We are actually doing an episode part on aligning your colours using a colour card. But I agree on different monitors things look significantly different at times, and I'm no expert in this field - but I have access to a few monitors and have a feel for what ones are showing less/more contrast and I basically arrive at my answer by eye but it can be tough. Not all monitors are the same!
these photos are making me so thirsty; good job
Me too!
Good Video. Have you done any similar videos using continuous light?
yes! search "workphlo cologne"
I'm confused where did you put the first light, behind the background ie; backlit?
Yes! Centered
Please can you tell me what kind of lens you are using.also your camera?
It's at the end of the video!
Hi, my age is 65 years and if you permit me I fell that I come your grandfather.I am very proud of your ability and keep it up.
I like to photograph still life but admitting that still have a lot to learn as I started photography in my old age. Photography is serving me as therapy for my accident in which i have lost my left hand up to the wrist.
I thank you for sharing your ability with those who want to learn.
Bless you Mario, thank you. I wish you well stay in touch!
Can you doit in cmyk mode, please. Most of my works is on cmyk.
Sure, next time I'll try and do that for ya Victor!
yas boos maa kasum yar tu hit hai yaar
What camera did you use?
Nikon D5100! It's at the end
Hi Dustin,
Any chance can do one on soda/beer cans?
I would love to photograph some beer cans soon!
Hello, what tool you use to hold the acrylic sheet?
Hi, we made a video about it on our channel - How the Shooting Table Affects the Wine Bottle
workphlo thank you I will look for it.
Can you also please share the translucent background link?
Sorry it's a huge link, but Google "Savage Translum Plastic Heavy Weight"
Why, after I use colour picker tool and then switch to a brush I don't get the 'picked' colour anymore, what am I doing wrong??
thanks
Hmm I'm not sure, sorry! I've never encountered that switch
Are you picking a colour while you currently have the mask of a layer selected? That gets me quite often, particularly when I undo something and it goes back to what I had selected previously.
You can also hold the Alt key and click somewhere to select a colour while using a brush, rather than having to swap to a different tool.
@@IsraelStorey good suggestion, thanks for your help :)
great stuff, it would be great if you can share the exposure details and how do you arrive at it, as you don't share these in in your videos. Hope you agree.
Will do
Dustin: I need some help, wish I could show you what I've got going on..but I am using paper like in your video, just a little different to help light an all metallic label on a wine bottle, the issue is, there is a part of the light going vertical that is darker than the rest, It probably because its open the camera side..u have any ideas on how I can do this? may paper diffuser I set up to it sits on top the cap and kinda wraps around the bottle on the bottom. Ideas please and if theres away I can show u an image that would be great. Thank you!
Hi Jerry, sometimes with stubborn areas people shoot "through" a diffuser with a hole cut out for the lens. I mention that in this video because sometimes it is needed with tricky angles in products. This might apply here!
I have tried that, it doesn’t work..the only difference I see is I’m covering the whole bottle, your just doing the label
