- Come with me to my new studio and practice product photography! It's a new venture and I'm both nervous and excited about it. Let me know in the comments if you want to see more of my studio!
GEAR AND EQUIPMENT USED:
Camera - Canon 5D Mark III
Lens - Canon 50mm f1.2
Flashes - Canon Speedlite 600 ex ii and Canon Speedlite 430 ex ii
Transmitter and Reciever system - Godox X1R-C Reciever and Godox X-Pro C 2.4GHZ Transmitter
Backdrop - Savage Universal seamless paper in Mocha. Purchased from Strobe Pro
White Blocks - Wooden boxes from the dollar store that I painted white. Don't recommend this as the texture is very obvious in photos and I had to edit it a lot.

Oh and subscribe please. heh.
How the sun graced your shoot was so inspiring and the pictures were phenomenal! I’ve been meaning to go fully into product photography and this video came recommended. Looks like the universe is talking. Thanks for this video and showing the process leading up to the shoot.
For future vids it might be good to show some of the product pics as we go, talk about your thoughts about them, and then show us the small changes you made and your thought process.
Thanks for the feedback!
I absolutely agree. I love it when a photo of the outcome is attached on the video as the person takes the picture. Because if it's at the end I tend to start skipping the video just so I can get to the end to see how it came out and then i go to the next video.
Great point!
Thank you for making this video. I am a baby entrepreneur and I'm pretty much doing EVERYTHING on my own (as most are). And I was researching different ideas for my product photoshoot and came across your video. This helped a lot and made me realize I need to start utilizing Pinterest for creative direction and to put some things together and just SHOOT. Thanks again!
Thank you for your incredibly kind comment! I'm so glad this helped you. Pinterest is definitely a great place to go for ideas. Yes, just shoot! It can be daunting but you never know what you can accomplish until you try. Good luck!
I love how creatively you worked with light and shadow and I love the end photos. Very inspirational.
Aw thank you so much!! ❤️
You are hilarious! And also WICKED TALENTED and creative. I was so engaged watching this. And I also learned a ton. So pumped to see more of your journey!
Aw thank you so much! That means a lot. :)
Thanks for sharing your whole process! Love the video will definitely watch more!
OMG The use of natural light in this video is mind-boggling. This is the best product photography video I have watched so far, go girl
Wow thank you so much!!

Excellent job Aileen!!! Those were stunning shots! Very inspiring!!!
Thank you so much!! 🥰 Means a lot
this was a really great video! product photography is definitely a lot of fun and challenging especially when using strobes (currently learning how to use them myself). you definitely killed these!
Thank you!! Yes it's challenging in a good way :) Best of luck with your photos!
I'm practicing myself too.and I found this video.you don't know how glad I am.good shot And good luck for whatever you shoot.
That's awesome! Thank you. Wishing you the best with your shoots too!
Love it! Please share more of this kind of content! Keep moving forward 👌🏽
Thank you so much!!
Damn those photo's after you edited them, wow😍 I'm definitely subscribing👍🏽
Thank you so much! Means a lot
These are wonderful tips, I own a small laser engraving business so I will totally be implementing what I learned to take better pictures of my products 💕
That's awesome!! Thank you so much 🥰
Love that I found your channel, I’m looking into getting into product photography as I currently on shoot people - very informative and funny 😂
Aww thank you so much! So kind. :)
That was a fun video, and a nice inspirational line towards the end too. Great photos I must say, loved them! Thanks for this video, God bless you! :)
Thank you so much! 😊 Very kind of you
OMG I LOVE THESE! It's simple but definitely helped me in a creative sense in product photography. Specially I'm shooting a hair product right now and this just gave me an idea 💕👌
Aww thank you so much! So glad it helped you. Let me know if you have any questions! :)
@@AileenChoiPhoto i have a few haha, like how do you decide what props to use? and what lens did you use for the shoot?
@@andreadelapena962 I honestly don't have a ton of experience shooting products haha but I think it's always good to start minimal (of course, depending on what style you're going for). I try to think about how the props will relate to the product and what I am trying to convey/what feel I'm going for. For example: if the product is seasonal and I want to go for a summer vibe, I think about bolder colours and fun props. If i want to keep the overall look simple, I'd use props that aren't too distracting that will take away from the product.
As for lens, I used a Canon 50mm f1.2 lens. :)
i love your idea its actually so easy and perfect
That's awesome to hear! Thank you for watching
This was so well put together :) Love the way you educate with this video
Thank you so much! 💕
Loved this video. Just subscribed. Photos always come out better than we give ourselves credit for. Well done!
You're right! We need to give ourselves some more credit :) Thank you for watching and for subscribing!
Thank you for this video, I will be starting a business soon and that is exactly the 'vibe' I'm going for, looks High quality and professional. It would be great to see how you edit these pics.
Thank you so much! I'm still learning how to do product photography, so that means a lot. I'll be doing an editing video soon!
Heyyyyyy Aileen, good video! I changed one room of my house into a studio, which I use for videos. You inspired me to try product photogtaphy.
Thank you so much! That's awesome :) have fun and good luck!
This was so helpful and also hilarious! Awesome authentic video!
Oh my gosh thank you so much!!! 💖
3:57 Watching the sun come in with the timelapse like 😍😍😍
This really helped me a lot since I just started my business.
So glad to hear that!
That was really fun to watch! Nice bts, edit, and video quality!
Thank you so much!
This video was so helpful! Thank you for sharing. I'm a very beginner product photographer and watching you setup and navigate the process of your product shoot was super informative for me. I found your shot list especially helpful! Would you mind sharing what you include in a shot list for a product shoot?
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! Great question. I include my inspo shots/mood board and then break down what each shot consists of, so I write down notes about the lighting set up, what the backdrop is, and what props are needed. This helps me get organized so I have a solid game plan going into the shoot and also, to know what I need to source/gather for each shot!
These are beautiful oh my goodness👏👏
Thanks so much!
oh wow i love this video so much! Your intro is the best i've seen yet!
Thank you so much!!
WOAH, we sound so similar😂
I’m a wedding photography but I want to get into branding portraits!
These are beautiful! I’ve been seeing dreamy product photos like this and I’d love to try so others can also learn for their own business.
Thank you for watching!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video ❤️
You should make more such video so that we can learn too 🥰 Loved the video 💗
Thank you Fida! I'm very flattered you are learning from my videos, I aim to share these videos for fun and didn't plan on them being educational so I'm glad they are useful! Haha
Thanks for sharing your tips. The result is great!
Thanks so much!!
So glad I found this video! I hope you're still active on your older videos, since I have a question which I hope you can answer. A year later, what set up do you still use and or recommend for beginners i.e. what lighting etc.?
I'm still using my same lighting and camera equipment, I only upgraded one of my camera bodies from a 5D Mark 4 to an R6, but I still have the mark 4. I would recommend using video lights to start off if you're intimidated by using a trigger/receiver lighting set up (like I use with my flashes), and then move on to trying that out. :) I know it can seem daunting in the beginning, trust me, I had to really push myself to try it out, but it's actually pretty straight forward! Spend time playing around with them and you'll get comfortable with it in no time.
I planned to start a product photography business and this is really helpful. Thanks. Best of luck!
Thank you! That's awesome. Best of luck to you too!
Killed it! Those shots came out great!
Thanks so much dude!! ☺️
So inspiring!!! I love your work
Wow thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you so much!! ❤️
Hey Aileen, Great video - I can't wait to binge more of your videos! I've just started playing around with product photography so I have limited equipment but I was wondering which kind of light created the shadow of the dried flowers in the amazing photo at 7:38. I only have soft boxes at this stage but it seems a lot of people use a speed light for product photography and if that is what created your shadow then I think that needs to be my next investment!? Thank you so much!
Hi Brooke, thanks for watching! At 7:38, I was using a speedlite and that is what created the shadow of the dried flowers. The speedlite had no softbox on it and was pointing directly at the scene, therefore, it created the harsh shadow.
Well done! You're very inspiring, I learned a lot ! Thank you :)
That's awesome!! Thank you 😊
these photos are amazing
Very nice results!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching :)
Great video. I went to Arts store and buy white and colored Styrofoam blocks. They're cheap, lol. I find lighting is the hardest part to taking product photos.
Thank you! Oh that's so smart. I am going to go to an arts store to get some styrofoam blocks too haha
Beautiful! You inspire me to do my best
Aw that's sweet! Thank you 💕
they turned out amazing! congrats!
Thank you!
That's really good, I'm going to try some for myself. Thanks
these were so pretty!!
Thank you so much!
Hi from brazil and i'm in love whit this video, thank u so much to give it for us❤❤
Thank you for watching!
Hi! Great video, I really like your atmosphere, it's very energizing. Tell us more about your editing, what kind of light you have, very interesting
Thank you! Check out my other videos to find out more about that 😃
Shots are looking great! The bumpy white blocks will be easy-peasy to fix.
Thank you! I definitely would recommend styrofoam styling blocks haha
@@AileenChoiPhoto I mean easy to fix on photoshop :)
Helloooo :-) Loved this video. Please make more product photography videos.
Thank you! I will try when I have time :) I don't do a lot of product photography yet as I'm still learning but appreciate your interest!
Thank you for the inspiration!
Anything. No really, I enjoyed the video and hope to see more videos.
Thank you!
Love this! Where did you get the paper backdrop? It’s gorgeous.
It's from Strobe Pro online!
Omg in loveee 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for watching!
I always get bored of photographers' videos despite my love for photography, but I finally got a fun channel
Thank you! Means a lot
Love this! Please make more videos like this
Thank you so much!
Great video. I was looking for something like that so bad. Could you make a video of how you pop up the editing of those photos in lightroom? Merci!
Thank you for watching! Not sure what you mean by pop up the editing of the photos?
This was so good!
Thank you!
Awesome video and photos! I have a question, how do you manage to get these clean and sharp shadows? Thanks!
Thank you! Direct light from my flashes
Love those glasses 😎😍
And video too ❤️
Amei conhecer seu trabalho.
That slight move with the sound effect at 3:50 had me howling haha
Haha thank you for noticing
Seriously amazing
Thank you!
Love it
Studio tour 🥳
Done! Coming soon :)
Amazing work! How would you take pictures of leather bags? I am small business owner of leather bags but always strangling with pictures of my product. Can’t do like I want! And I like this warm shade style! Beautiful!
I would add in a couple simple props like foliage or geometric shapes to add something to the overall photo :)
Loved watching this! I'm probably the only person who finds these types of videos therapeutic lol #photographyASMR
Haha that's awesome! Thanks so much 🙂
Loved this video! Your so talented!
Ive always wondered what goes into product shots! What camera lens do you use?
Thank you! My equipment is all listed in the description.
@aileen choi Did you only use a speed light and one strobe here? I'm trying to decide on a lighting set up to buy - right now i have only a speed light. currently just learning and building a portfolio so money is somewhat of an issue... i do also have to LED video lights not sure how that will work out though.
I used 2 speedlites here - you can definitely use what you already have and use both as a strobe with a transmitter and receiver set.
UA-cam suggested me this video, and I am so happy it did. :)
love your content, hope to collab one day and you are doing amazing work. keep it up!
Thank you so much!
thank you for your video tutorial, this is very useful for me. I hope your channel will progress and develop
#fromindonesia
Wow thank you for the kind comment! I'm glad it was helpful. Wishing you the best!
Love this BTS. Do you mind sharing what color background that is you used?
Thank you! The backdrop is from the brand Savage Universal and the colour is Mocha.
love to see some tips on shooting dainty jewellery
When I get more experience with it, I'll try to create some content surrounding that! Macro lens is a must though for dainty jewelry so you can get nice and up close, and I would say pedestals of some sort to create levels.
Looks like a great studio. You mind sharing what light stands you were using? They look well built. Also curious about your trigger & lighting used too.
Thank you! The light stands I'm using are the ones that came with my Neewer led video lights which I bought from Amazon. They get the job done and are versatile but i wouldn't say they're heavy duty or super good quality haha
The trigger system I have is the Godox trigger and receivers that are compatible with my Canon camera and speedlites.
Lighting: I have a Canon 560 ex ii speedlite and a 480 ex ii (I believe those are the model numbers..)
@@AileenChoiPhoto thanks!
Hi Aileen, I really enjoyed your video!! Can I ask you, the shots with the strong shadows, is that only possible with the sunlight, or you can get the same effect with your light sources? Thanks!!
I achieved the shots with the harsh shadows with my speedlites! So yes. It gives you more control and different results but you can also achieve the look with the sun.
So good!
Thank you!
Great work!
your pimple convinced me jejeje
Bahahah thank you! It may be back to make an appearance sometime 🤣
oooh these turned out so nice
Thank you so much!
I saw one of the pictures on pinterest and it gave me an idea
Thank you soo much
Awesome! Thank you
The photos you took were very cool looking.. well done
Thank you so much!
@@AileenChoiPhoto you welcome
Red light to hide pimple = Galaxy brain strats hehehehe. Really enjoyed this vid :)
Hahaha thanks man! ☺️
Great video! Thanks so much. Can you share where you get your backdrop rolls and what color you used? Thanks so much!
Thank you! Yes, the colour I'm using is Mocha seamless backdrop paper. The brand is Savage Universal and it's purchased from Strobe Pro.
@@AileenChoiPhoto Thanks so much!
I loved this video! I have a cake business and have been wanting to experiment with aesthetic looks. Will definitely be doing the box trick. Do you have any suggestions for cake photography? It can be so tricky!
Thank you! I think a cake stand would definitely be necessary, and using ingredients used in the cake as props will be a nice way to highlight the unique features in the cake. I think using baking tools as props is nice too, like a whisk, rolling pin etc. Natural light is the best type of lighting! Shoot by a window and use a white board or paper to bounce the window light back onto your scene.
@@AileenChoiPhoto thank youuu! This is so helpful I will definitely use all your tips ❤️
Dear Aileen, please stop excusing yourself all the time. You are great as you are! And thank you for showing your craft. This is so inspiring to me! Love to do same!!!! 🤗
Aww thank you! That's so sweet. Thanks for watching!
Wow these are amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
You did a great job
perfect👍🏼
