Quick NOTES
- Leave a comment if you’d like me to expand on product photography in a more detailed video. this is a very basic rundown.
- A lot of the examples today are taken from campaigns photographed around the theme “stay at home” hence a lot of the household item stuff.. It kinda contradicts the knowing the product part so I wanted to clarify!
- Thanks in advance to everyone who supports 18twenty6!
This video was great! A more detailed video would be awesome for sure!
Thanks for the tips! Would love to see a more detailed video, especially pertaining to color correction in product photos. 😊
what the best light all around? UA-cam videos, product photography and everything else?
@@SteveDuchesne27 I’m with him, greater detailed video would be awesome.
8 minutes and 2 seconds was a minimal time to explain all of these tips and tricks but you nailed it Evan! I was a fan of your sneaker photography game since the day I subbed.. Keep it crushing man!
Dude you literally got me into product photography when I found your channel a couple of years ago - now it's my full time job. Thanks man! Love your shit.
Hi! how did you start and how do you manage to keep a consistent stream of income? if u don't mind answering, how much do you make? :)
That's awesome bro. Same here! Keep grinding
Whats your instagram?
Hey can u share your journey up until now?
The universe works in mysterious ways! Just yesterday, I thought about sending you a message to ask you to put out a video on product photography. Thanks! It's exactly what I needed.
So glad you made this video at a time where I've been really focused on it! Been following you for the last 3 years now and have felt myself improving as a creative along the journey with you! Keep creating man, can't wait til the next projects finished to show support!
Never stop creating and follow what interests you. It all builds over time!
Watching your channel since growing out of your Evan5PS something 😁, product photography grew on me. First only sneakers, actually my sneakers 🤷🏻♂️, but since we've been heavily restricted in traveling, I began to capture other products for fun. Your tips are always valuable, easy to understand and most likely to be applied without tons of xtra gear. Thank you 🙏🏻
Really enjoyed that Evan. I've been struggling with some indoor photography ideas for a while and this video (mainly the window light) has given me a kick up the ass.
I knew natural/window light was key but I've always struggled to find the right spot in my house to make the most of it - but I just had a brain wave while watching this - so I'm crediting you with the inspiration.
Off to the hardware store to get the material to make a large window shelf..
Have an inspiring weekend sir!
This video slaps! I do product photography for a bunch of e-commerce brands and you hit an absolute homerun on this video. Earned the sub.
How did u get into it? What would u recommend for a beginner
Thanks for another product photography vid! Your previous videos got me experimenting with it and I'm on the path of trying to land my first gig for a local shop as you did. Love the vids, God bless.
You're such an inspiration. I started shooting some sneakers recently and your videos and tips helped me A LOT. So, thank you for sharing and I hope to be a great product photographer in a few years
Love the Vid! and would love more videos expanding on product photography.
Noted!
This is amazing! I love product photography and this is just the information I need. Thanks Evan 👌
One 👍 for you Evan. I have seen lots of youtubers doing camera reviews, showinh their photography skills. I still watch them everyday. But no one does product photography as fantastic as you. You are hands down my favourite youtuber for product photography. So a 👍 for you.
I just did a product launch shoot for my girlfriend’s website and store last month and I learned a lot! First time and I don’t think it came out half bad! 👍🏽📸
Thanks Evan! Love this vid so much, i would love to see more of these.
This was such a valuable and informative video - thank you!! I’m a content creator for a big sports retailer and i mostly shoot content with people, but i’ve been asked to do some product shots for shoes for some of the brands we work with (nike, adidas, asics etc) and this was so helpful!! Incredible work! ☺️
Omg i love the individual wood plank idea!! Brilliant!!
I actually find retouching very satisfying especially when you take the extra step of working with layers.
I run an online crystal shop. I take so many photos but haven't been too proud of how they look. Because I have to make sure customers see the details in the crystals, I often use just a white foamboard as a backdrop. It's also more efficient since I have hundreds of crystals I photograph at one time. I've been wanting to up my game, especially for the marketing photos I use on Instagram vs. individual product listing photos. This video definitely gave me a lot to think about and even gets me a little excited to play with composition. Thank you so much!
Great video once again Evan. Loving all those product shots you included 👌✌
Love the video !!! Thanks for the tips as get ready to step into PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY !
Hi! I'm here for 8 minutes and 02 s ❤️
Cheers to the us who stayed until the last second! Love to see some “Pierre Lambert Product Photography Style” though! ☺️👍 Cheers man!
😊
Wow! Brilliant! thanks for all the tips Evan!
If you need any photo background removal services and edit photos, Please reply for more details.
I have my first product photography gig tomorrow morning. This is perfect thank you!
How'd it go Nicholas?
great tips Evan! We started using these tips for our photos for our instagram and instagram. love the way you use the denim as an added texture for the sneaker to pop
This video is gold, subscribed!
We obviously want more videos of product photography from you ! You're the best
I never thought of adding elements just for the sake of color. That's brilliant!
Awesome tips 👌
This video came at the right time. I'm starting to dabble in product photography in my downtime🙏
Same here I've been having people asking if I could do product photography and this came literally at right time. I hadn't done it in so long lol
I’m sure you’ll touch on this in a future vid but one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that it’s 100% worth it to clean the products before shooting them. So many times I’ve skipped that step and have to sit there in post covering up the specks. So annoying and such an easy thing to skip over when shooting.
Great tips Evan, thanks for sharing!
Great tips Evan. Keep it up
This was great man!! Really awesome tips!! Really got you thinking
Evan, solid video, man. I have been wanting to get more involved with product photography so this video couldn’t have come at a better time!
love your work man ! super DOPE!
This was great! I’d love to see more about the camera technicals like lenses and focal lengths.
This is pure gold Evan! If you'd do a creative product/lifestyle video series for a fee it'd worth every cent 👏
Amazing material! Thank you for your knowledge!
This is really cool! These are actual tips (layout, composition, light, among other things) are going to come handy. I wish I could see another video of your awesome work, which is not footwear-specific.
Thank you for sharing all the great content, its help me a lot. Just started my business and can't afford a product photographer at the moment. I've always loved taking picks, so its been fun learning the techniques.
Fire tips like always. Glad to see the video
Fabulously executed.
Awesome channel for product photography. I’m a newbie and it looks like I will learn a lot from this.
This video was HUGE! Thank you a lot dude.
Love a video presenter that is all about what they're presenting and less about annoying fluff in the presentation. I wathched to the end and got good tips.
Damnn! I started street photography because of you 10 months ago and product photography 1 month ago and now you made a video about it. I really appreciate the videos you create for the new generation of photographers! You are the goat in photography, much love!!
Hey thank you so much! Means a lot!
Lots of great info, thanks for talking us through your BTS
You are super inspiring Evan! Always enjoy and learning from your vids!!👏👏🙏
I can honestly say that you have helped me become a better photographer🤙
Thank you!
Love to hear it, thanks for watching!
great video and explanation!
Well that's all I needed to know. Thanks!
Great video and fantastic advice.
Would be cool to see more about your mad product photography skills
❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for the wisdom 🙏🏾
amazing video. Thank you so much
Such a great video! Has inspired me to go out and shoot some product photography!
Rock on brother. Not many channels talk about product photography. Great vid. Have a Merry Christmas brother.
Hey thank you too!
Great video first time I tried product photography I sucked, but just watching that gave me so many ideas and also areas where I need to experiment with more. Thank you!
Haha it takes a long time to learn but that’s what cool. It really helps your all around skill!
You are the king man, I learn so much from you videos 👏🏼👏🏼
🙏🙏🙏
Very practical. A thank you from vn!
Yessss please more product photography
Thank you, Its a great video I'm wanting to get into Product Photography.
Great tips shared here!
Can we talk about how beat up that camera looks at 5:26 haha
That's what the problem is with product photography we have the entire control in our hands that's why it might turn out best , but in landscape photography nature does everything we just have to compose in street emotions and daily life does the job we have to compose and emphasise which is harder though but not as hard as product photography because it is a dull thing which we have to modify and compose to our liking it is tough and the fact that Evan is doing this for years shows the control he has over his photos huge respect pal
This was great. Thank you.
I knew you were good, but explaining the science and psychology behind product photography, and how you, as the artist, specifically conceptualize, shoot, and edit.. I'm just blown away.
Haha well thanks! It didn’t exactly start that way, I kinda slowly developed a mindset for it!
A video about how you light your product photography would be amazing! Great vid as per usual
Thanks that gives me an idea 💡
Helpful tips - thank you!
great idea it is!
Great video! New Subscriber! I needed this info! Great job bro!

Just starting to get into recreational product photography and your videos are really inspiring. My main focus are wrist watches. Would to see/learn how you approach watch photography given how small and how much glare they can create. Thanks!
Good one, useful insight

Aye nice!
Love your work mate, would love to see how you utilise the Aputure rgb LEDs in product shots, whether it’s as fill, to help colour pop ect..
