Thanks for this well produced and explained video. I’m a retired pro from the diffused highlights era but I love the hard light look you have mastered. More of these, please. Your insight videos into the business of pro photography are still very useful but perhaps a 70-30 mix of ‘How to’ to ‘Insight’ might be a good ratio. All the best!
Quite interesting. Just ran into your site by pure chance. It brought back a lot of memories for me. I am a semi-retired photographer who had a long and varied career, shooting everything from Time and Newsweek magazines, tons of corporate people stuff, and, maybe most significantly, a heavy concentration on shooting cars for corporate, national advertising and catalog uses, in my own quite large studio and on location all over the U.S. The kinds of techniques you are demonstrating are great. But, just imagine a product that is 20 feet long, made of totally reflective glass and metal with some dull rubber thrown in for good measure. Massively complex stuff, especially in the film era with things like in-camera masking, 8x10 cameras, 40,000-50,000 watts of tungsten hot lights with giant banks and reflectors and multitudes of other grip gear. It was an incredibly demanding profession in which time became the most precious commodity, sometimes in a way that was daunting and maybe a little destructive of health and relationships, but was often a lot of fun as well. Now I work much, much less doing just a bit of work at my leisure, but hardly ever a car any longer. Keep up your videos; they probably help many aspiring shooters to understand how to create a picture, rather than just take one.
It’s really refreshing to see a pro work, and explain the what’s and why’s. A really interesting and educational new series of videos. Really helps appreciate the work, and the work involved in making these vids too
Enjoyed this. I did a shoot for a local area micro brewery a while ago and shot about 10 different labels of that brand, so I really appreciate the painstaking detail of tiny adjustments to get just the right look. I also styled each label differently so that the client got some themed images along with all the standard plain background images that they could do web designs of their own with. Was a good job, and I'd like to do more of it. Your video kind of validated my approach to the shoot, which is great - thank you!
Great lesson! Great explanation for every step and you can always see what changed and why. Honestly I don’t know why others take so long to explain anything. As for more topics: Maybe you could talk a little about tilt/shift rise/fall and what they do or what you could do with them.
Really like seeing this kind of content. Just to see someone else’s approach to product shots and get a new idea or to reinforce something I already do. Thanks for all the great videos and business sense you bring to them!
Very interesting video and impressive work! One question though: Why wouldn't you center the can in your frame? You're doing all these micro adjustments but still the subject remains off to the right. Same for the platform it's standing on but I guess that's not in the final shot.
Fantastic video, as always. I'm curious, and this may be a whole video topic in itself but in this video you mention specific lighting styles that have fallen off trends and ones that are on trend that you want to make sure you adhere to. My question is sort of two parts: 1. How do you stay ahead of these trends to ensure that your work is always in demand based on what art buyers want? 2. How do you balance adhering to the trends while also ensuring that you ensure that your work remains unique to your style and vision so that your brand as a photographer remains distinct and recognizable? What makes you look at a new trend and say: "This needs to be incorporated to my work" or conversely what makes you think: "Thats nice, but it clashes with my style in a negative way so I won't be incorporating it"
I've been shooting with professional photographers for 25 years and obviously they don't commentate on everything they're doing as we going through the job, but I'm still learning lots by watching your videos - they're brilliant.
Oh the standing desk option is so good. I have a set of heavy duty saw horses because I can pack them away out of my way when not using them not that you have that issue in your studio but I really like the standing desk idea. Now to continue watching lol, commenting as I'm watching
Loved watching this. I shoot this style of work a lot and it's quite theraputic in way to watch others doing it too! :) Looking forward to the next one.
now this is the sort of video tutorials I LOVE TO WATCH the most. this is UA-cam for photographers. I always struggle with the highlights control the most.
You are an absolute legend. I had so many issues with cutlery on a recent shoot and this covers so many issues I had. Thanks so much Scott. More of these please!
Nicely done, thanks for the demo. I really enjoyed it and thanks for doing a couple camera angles and having a moving camera it helps me to follow the process. I’d love to see more.
Love to see how much effort, tweaks and test shoots go in to getting a single shot. The small adjustments look very familiar to when I'm working with lights myself.
I love seeing this type of content because you get to see behind the curtain of a professional shoot even if it’s skit a little. You always assume professionals are doing way more work than you are capable of so this inspires amateurs to keep going.
Ayyyy so happy you are uploading them, I caugh it live. Btw didn't you go live with another video the day before yesterday? I caught that you were live but there was nothing uploaded afterwards, was it like a premiere test video?
I love these behind the scenes product shoot videos. Just curious how you would handle the box the can is sitting on. Would you leave that in or replace it with another surface? Great work is always Scott
Thank you for the great video and showing how you create the images! I notice that your images roll into your Mac very slowly. I also have a Fuji 100S; a set of Tether Tools cables (10meter in total) and a modern Windows 11 PC + CaptureOne. That setup transfers images much, much faster. Maybe the load-time is not an important subject for you. For studio portrait / fashion photography the extra speed is very welcome, if not needed. Laptop has a 8 core fast desktop CPU, an nVidia RTX GPU, 64GB RAM and runs SSD's.

Great to see the workflow to create the image
Thanks
I'm really impressed with the "on site learning" feel of this. More real time, step by step, observing and digesting. Top notch!
Wow.. all that work for 1 photo. Excellent end result.
Amazing to see this BTS style content. I’d be interested to see more of these types of videos - it’s inspiring!
Love it - this is so jam-packed with educational content it's bursting at the seams! Thank you for your generosity, Scott. This is wonderful.
Great seeing this workflow! Fantastic channel. Thanks Scott!
Very nice that you took the time ou to show how you shoot a product. I am sure many people enjoyed it!
Fascinating to see what is involved; thank you.

This is amazing work… want more and more and more and more of this
This was incredible, it's very interesting and educational hearing your thought process on the go. More of these types of videos would be great!!

No this is high quality content, this is what us photographers love to see amazing work, and thank you mate for creating this amazing video
Yes, I would like to see more videos like this.
that was an excellent video, watching the build up to what became the final shot was very interesting.
I can't stress enough how invaluable this kind of content is. You're such a sweetheart for sharing this! Thank you so much!
Super helpful to see, it's really a whole time consuming photo process with taking a bunch of shots rewarded with a nice result and not only Photoshop
Fantastic video and bits of knowledge!
Yeeeesssss! Thank you for sharing this type of content.
Very interesting video and impressive work! One question though: Why wouldn't you center the can in your frame? You're doing all these micro adjustments but still the subject remains off to the right. Same for the platform it's standing on but I guess that's not in the final shot.
Beautiful work and process.
Thank you so much for sharing these insightful videos, especially your thinking being lighting!
Really really enjoyed this scott amazing work always a pleasure
Thank you, very helpful showing us the entire process in this way.
Fascinating demo!

This is soooo interesting. To see a master of his craft at work. That's exactly what I want to watch on UA-cam
Thank you very much. That was very entertaining and educational at the same time.
Great video. Keep it up with these kind. Pretty awesome man.
This is fantastic content, thanks for sharing. I’ve done some small, tabletop stuff and wish I’d seen a video like this first.
Awesome sauce! Time to go practice. Thank you 🙏🏽!
Awesome! Thank you for making these. Would definitely love to see you light a shoot with a clear drink bottle and deal with reflections. Thanks again!
@TinHouseStudioUK now I see there’s one upcoming already, you 10 steps ahead of us haha 😂🙌🙌

15:40 YES please, really liked the explanation of the process and correcting the problems.
Thank you for this Scott. I hope you do more videos like this.
Keep them coming! and thanks.
Very nicely done
Hi Scott, thanks for this helpful demo 🙂
I think this is the first time I’m actually seeing you in the studio lighting! Already learning loads. Thanks, Scott!
Loved watching this. I shoot this style of work a lot and it's quite theraputic in way to watch others doing it too! :) Looking forward to the next one.
now this is the sort of video tutorials I LOVE TO WATCH the most. this is UA-cam for photographers. I always struggle with the highlights control the most.
Nice! Love to see more of this.
You are an absolute legend. I had so many issues with cutlery on a recent shoot and this covers so many issues I had. Thanks so much Scott. More of these please!

Great to see the BTS style shoot - nice work Scott
Love this type of video!!
Love this, don't have any specific requests. All of it.
Nicely done, thanks for the demo. I really enjoyed it and thanks for doing a couple camera angles and having a moving camera it helps me to follow the process. I’d love to see more.
I spent years assisting and this makes me miss it! The practical problem solving of making shots work is so much fun.
Bad ass shot, excellent work!
Also happy new gear! Hope you are having lots of new fun with it! Cheers from the Balkans
More of this please Scott!
Love to see your process. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great, great video. One of your best.
Loved the video, was very nice to see you put things you talk about into actions live with a subject. Learned a ton!
Love to see how much effort, tweaks and test shoots go in to getting a single shot. The small adjustments look very familiar to when I'm working with lights myself.
as a begginer who's clueless about studio lighting this is godsent, thanks!
Thanks Scott, this was so great to watch you at work. Picked up some great tips too! Look forward to seeing more of your processes 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Job Scott

This is fantastic! The impressive sharpness and resolution of that medium format at the end is jaw dropping. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic work Scott, I love this kind of bts/tutorials!
More to come!
Really awesome video
I love seeing this type of content because you get to see behind the curtain of a professional shoot even if it’s skit a little. You always assume professionals are doing way more work than you are capable of so this inspires amateurs to keep going.
I didn't realise just how much work studio and product work took. Great video and it's good to see how it's done. Yes please more of them.
this was fantastic!
Great video - really valuable content. Awesome channel, subbed
Ayyyy so happy you are uploading them, I caugh it live. Btw didn't you go live with another video the day before yesterday? I caught that you were live but there was nothing uploaded afterwards, was it like a premiere test video?
This was great. MORE! pls
This was amazing love the detail in the video !
I love these behind the scenes product shoot videos. Just curious how you would handle the box the can is sitting on. Would you leave that in or replace it with another surface? Great work is always Scott
I too wonder this.. great work btw Scott love it
Thank you for the great video and showing how you create the images!
I notice that your images roll into your Mac very slowly. I also have a Fuji 100S; a set of Tether Tools cables (10meter in total) and a modern Windows 11 PC + CaptureOne. That setup transfers images much, much faster. Maybe the load-time is not an important subject for you. For studio portrait / fashion photography the extra speed is very welcome, if not needed.
