Joe, you have such a beneficent and altruistic approach to your video, so refreshing. You teaching style suits how I like to learn, I feel like I've learned more in the past few hours of watching your videos than I have in the past 6 months.
I love video mainly and this also of course applies to video. I am still always learning but I feel like my videos now are way better than they were few years ago. I used to just take my camera out (camera = cell phone camera lol), and start recording my friends, and they never seemed to mind, in fact, to my advantage they forgot the lens was there, not looking at it. To many it might seem like fooling around but that fooling around with my camera, randomly recording footage that had no inherent meaning, that was the thing that made me evolve a bit more with how I record video now. Great video by the way, superb content, sir.
The panel is mounted on a short pole that sticks straight pack and pokes through the seamless background and is attached to a light stand that is supporting it.
Hi Joe, the sage advice in this video wasn't limited to the Einstein quotes but every word you said. I particularly enjoyed your story of breaking into 4x5 and advertising. It reminded me of how I got the start in my current career, I said "yes" and then went home and read, attempted, failed, practiced, read, and eventually succeeded! Drive and passion makes up for an awful lot. Keep up the good work!
+Joe Edelman Just looking at your portfolio mate, amazing work, especially like the ones where I assume you've used a projector, any chance you'd consider doing video about how you do this?
Thank you +Dave Hughes ! I am planning a video on the fine art nudes - it will however be posted on Vimeo so that I can keep the UA-cam Channel family friendly.
Good advise Joe, I remember back when I started in the early 90's. Little fear and never thought of failing. As far as your floating shot, C-stand arm though the seamless paper or some sort of long stick, held by paste up wax or the ol gaffers tape.
I see the riddle has already been solved, but I think I would have mounted the products on a sheet of glass to get the floating effect. I've done it with smaller objects - like jewelry. I got the glass out of a picture frame, cleaned it up and put it in front of a blown out background to get pure white background. Kind of like something you'd do for a catalog shot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Back in the day Michael Higa we used glass for small objects all the time. This was a set-up that didn't work wel with glass - so I went with the pole behind it.
Just watched this myself, I thought you had a radial gradient backdrop and shot the picture looking down on the product. It was that or you hired a magician :)
Great lesson on life. Your videos are very informative for the non-Photographer. I am a builder researching as we have a Client wishing to build out a 800sf studio. Currently grey is primary movable partition color and LED lighting plays a significant role. Your videos have helped me understand why. Thank you
This is your best so far. Great stuff. As for the panels, the one on the RHS could be supported from behind/beneath by a black arm/pole. The one on the LHS either by an arm/pole going back through the shot or suspended by fine fishing line that becomes invisible due to the light fall off at the top of the shot. However it's done, it's a classy image that demonstrates imagination and ingenuity. The simple blue (lit by a gel?) rectangle in the background really helps make the panels stand out in an interesting way with the sharp edge on the bottom and the feathered fall off to black on the other edges. Y
Thank you for the inspiration, Joe. While watching your video, I had the distinct impression that you were speaking directly to me. I'll continue to watch -- and practice.
This motivated me even more! As you asked in last days live feed! I will shoot more and more and more. Thanks a lot @Joe, Your videos are the most informative. Now going to watch the videos about working makeup artists.
I don't know how you did, how you manage to make the panel float, but I'd love to learn. I've been learning a lot with your videos. I stop photographing years ago, but I decided to go back to my old dream and become a full time photographer, I'll be working and shooting when I'm off, till I make enough clients and can make complete transition from my current job to photography. I ordered the new A7III with couple of lenses, I'm still waiting for it, but I'm learning all I can till I receive it, specially for speedlights, back in the film era, I hate them, but I think it's just because I didn't know how to properly use them. So I'm learning all I can (theory) so when my camera comes, I already have quite a bit of "projects" to put into practice. Thank you so much for all your encouragement and all this great video tutorials, I'm learning a lot, and I mean a lot.
I actually just talked about how I did it in last weeks TOGCHAT Carlos Rosa. The panel is mounted on a short pole that sticks straight pack and pokes through the seamless background and is attached to a light stand that is supporting it.
DING! DING! DING! DING!!!! +Anthony Petit You got it! I'll post a follow-up next week to describe it in detail! A little hint for anyone reading... it was lit with only two lights.
Hey Joe, thanks for your awesome and inspiring video. To float the panels I think you attached a stick to the back of each panel through a hole in the backgroung to the stands hidden behind. Your a fantastic artist. Cheers
DING! DING!! DING!!! DING!!!! You are ABSOLUTELY correct +nathmo2011 ! That's how we did it "back in the day!" :-) Thank you for the kind words! Be sure to subscribe so that you don't miss any videos.
+Joe Edelman Thanks Joe, I tried the trick with my kids juggling fruit (they play soccer). It seemed the best way to do it and worked very well. Your videos are great..I've subscribed. Thanks, Nathan
Joe, love your videos! I noticed you have a lot of them geared towards how people can get into modeling. Any tips on how photographers can get published in magazines? or get jobs at local businesses? I have been published in a couple different small but high end magazines this year by doing a lot of footwork, but I would love to get into showcasing clothing, or the like. I am just not sure how to go about it. I am self taught and self propelled, always learning and looking for new opportunities. Would love to hear what you think :) Thanks for all of your videos! Your my favorite!
gr8 experiences .i would like to thank yo so much for your videos which i think will help me a lot not only in shooting with my CAMERA but also in my like . you gave us positive energy . thank you :)
You nailed it, but this failure lessons can be so frustrating. A whole day of shooting wasted because the AF was on continuous and I recomposed my focus. Wont happen again, ever, I hope,... The pics even looked as usual until I saw them at home.
Gentleman...!! I just saw your two videos today.All are very informative. Keep inspiring me/us . You're knowledge and experience is very useful for Next generation..❤️
Joe, I'm busting my head here trying to figure out how you pulled the photo at 6:25 min. My best guess: 1) a white panel at camera 2 or 3 o'clock shot at or through to light the upper device (there's a VERY slight shadow under the top key and also the highlights on the metal key indicates the existence of this upper panel) 2) another panel at camera 9 or 10 o'clock either shot through or at to light the lower device (both panels exactly parallel to the devices), since we see a reflection in the screw at the bottom of the lower device 3) the background is easy, a translucent plastic or paper (architect paper, for instance) shot from the back with a center light gelled with a blue gel Now the very hard part 4) the lower device is sitting on a black table, which you burned in the dark room intensely (but not thoroughly, because I can see a VERY DIM highlight at the very lower right corner - probably a reflection from the table) 5) the upper device was held on the air by a support coming straight TO camera from the back (with also the wires to keep it running). But this "arm" was clamped to another stand at around camera 11 o'clock (which you burned deeply in the dark room). 6) those cables are stiff enough to be held on their own in the air. VERY tuff to figure it out. Am I right? BTW, THANKS A LOT for your video and insights. They are really helpful.
Thank you for the kind words +gustavo campos ! As for how I did the shot? SORRY - WRONG. I am a KISS IT! (Keep It Simple Stupid) kind of guy. My set-up is MUCH simpler than you described.
Good video. I HATE videos that say the most important thing is not how good you are. Believe it or not I've seen more than one. I think I still suck after two years of school and 3 years of practice. The worst problem in photography today is that everybody thinks they are one. I knew people in school who after two years of study still couldn't take a decent shot and should not have or didn't graduate. When I say I suck, I really mean I'm OK for the amount of experience I have but a lot of people will never be any good. *Most of all, buying a nice camera does NOT make you a photographer.*
Ok the challenge of the floating controller. Shot from the top down? Camera and you above the control on a ladder so the stands are out of sight grey background with blue gel on strobe as back light and 2 side lights to clear out shadows Guess that’s where I’d start anyway.
Nice. I live in Philadelphia. It would be nice to meet for a coffee or a beer if you come around. Just send me a message. Thanks and keep up with the good videos!
Reminds me of a time I heard a talk from a graphic artist, "find out what you're passionate about, then fail at it faster, you must first fail at something to succeed."
I love your videos and approach to creating art. I am a self-taught, always-learning mid-lifer re-careering by playing music and shooting photos. Without searching for the answer on this thread, my attempt to solve the riddle is this (or at least how I would start to attempt the shot): Simple for me would be to shoot down onto the ground/seamless, and lift the two items up of the ground with whatever - 2x4s cut to a certain height 2/3 feet high, maybe? A few rolls of paper towels under the items? Whatever I could find, (and I don't really know the size of the items). Careful light placement could mitigate unwanted BG shadows. How'd I do? (BTW - Are you in the Bucks County area?)
The image seems to be shot from above, so I'd say they are on stands, the left hand one (with the yellow buttons) seems to be higher than the right hand object. At another guess I'd say you have to tape / blue tack the key to make it appear its affected by gravity.
I was watching some eisodes of Joe when the quote was mentioned (i think that was when joe was practicing before shooting). The video was gone after I finished what I'm watching because of the autoplay. Now I had to type "Don't be afraid to suck joe edelman" just to find it! 😂 Love the video Joe! :)
+Joe Edelman Well, you got me!!!. Thank you for sharing your experience with others like myself. Hopefully i will obtain the skills required to produce images like yours one day.....Hopefully!!!!
Thanks ! I'm planning on starting some serious portrait shoots soon but I was taken by this fear of failing... Until your vid' remind me the basics of why I start shooting and why I love it ! Now, I want to suck as much as I need to suck in order to succeed in my project to improve my portrait skills ! :D On those words, time to sleep in France ! Hello from there !
Only thing that would have made this video better is if at the beginning you said, "Who loves ya, baby." in your best Kojak voice. Yeah, I'm old. #kojak #suckers

Hi Joe. I love photography and my camera is always with me. I lack confidence and like you said afraid to fail. Thank you for the video

My guess on the floating panels is you shot them from above and they're actually resting on the "floor" or on stands. Love your videos!
The panel is mounted on a short pole that sticks straight pack and pokes through the seamless background and is attached to a light stand that is supporting it.
You are a great inspiration!Be good and continue to be awesome!

Supports in the back of the panels that are hidden by the panels. The ribbon cable is fairly stiff and thus self supporting.

Without searching for the answer on this thread, my attempt to solve the riddle is this (or at least how I would start to attempt the shot): Simple for me would be to shoot down onto the ground/seamless, and lift the two items up of the ground with whatever - 2x4s cut to a certain height 2/3 feet high, maybe? A few rolls of paper towels under the items? Whatever I could find, (and I don't really know the size of the items). Careful light placement could mitigate unwanted BG shadows. How'd I do?

The image seems to be shot from above, so I'd say they are on stands, the left hand one (with the yellow buttons) seems to be higher than the right hand object. At another guess I'd say you have to tape / blue tack the key to make it appear its affected by gravity.

You put the subject on glass and used a polarized filter to get rid of the reflections ?

Keep those videos coming!
dude... thanks A LOT!
The product is not floating? Lying on a flat surface being slightly propped up from beneath to give a slight angle?
Nice guess +dwight mcdermott but still wrong - the panel on the left is in the air.
+Joe Edelman Well, you got me!!!. Thank you for sharing your experience with others like myself. Hopefully i will obtain the skills required to produce images like yours one day.....Hopefully!!!!

You're welcome lordwelhim esaga I appreciate the comment!
My guess is that you shot the floating image on a piece of non-reflective plexiglass with a blue light under it?
Great guess +Jason Denniston but thats a WRONG ANSWER. I don't think they had non-reflective plexiglass in the mid 80's ;-)
True
Who's awesome? Joe is awesome!
