In this video series, I will share my tips and tricks for shooting white background product photography the easy way, starting with just two lights. Today I will talk about how I perfect my reflections on the glossy wine bottle.
In the upcoming videos, I will reveal some of the techniques I have learned over the past 10 years as a commercial photographer.
Equipment used:
Camera: Canon EOS R
Lens: Canon EF 100mm Macro F2.8 L
Lights: Profoto D1
Software: EOS Utility 3.0
Thank you!
Hi Martin, thanks for such a depth explanation.
The final image; product surface normally glossy; diffused light reflection part from both end shows matt surface.
I know this is caused by acyrlic;
Imagine your product was highly polised chrome kettle; with this diffused light it will look like its matt chrome which will be misleading product image.
is there any material for these kind of surface to keep glossy, polished surface as it is.
Appreciated.
Hi, if my product would be highly reflective then I would use my large diffusers and then I would add in black flags between diffuser and flash to start creating shades on the product. You could also use just black tape and put some pieces on the diffuser directly. This will create dark areas which will break the illusion that it is looking matte. Hope my explanation was clear enough.
@@martinhallikvisuals Martin, thanks for taking time to answer! It's clear enough. I'm having a bit difficulties to capture correct colour and surface details for my client. They are selling metal hardware such as door handle in polished chrome, Satin Nickel(Inox). Would be perfect if you can do some video to teach us how to do these kind of difficult products.
I have one already in my todo list where I talk about glossy metallic items. So this is coming soon in near future.
Great video! Thank you. Why did you use the small reflector bowl light modifiers rather than the strip softboxes behind the Perspex side sheets? In theory they would provide a more even light across the perspex rather than the central reflector bowl? (mind you this does not appear to be the case as the reflected highlight seems to be fairly even!:)
Hy @samsarra100 Thank you for the comment! I used the reflector on purpose to show that in case you don't have softboxes yet but only reflectors that came with the flashes then it is really easy to overcome that obstacle. But yes you are right, softbox is giving more even light compared to reflector.
@@martinhallikvisuals thank you, appreciate the followup Martin!
