Dude that was excellent! Love how you made it quick and simple, probably took you ages to make the video😅 but I’m super impressed, totally subscribing for more 👊🏻
I was gonna give you a hard time for this not being a true "one light" shot. But the final product is too beautiful haha really good stuff as always, man! Keep it up, definitely inspiring.
Hey Skyler! I've started shooting food photography just a few months ago and now I'm shooting Michelin star restaurants and the best chefs in Portugal. Thank you so much for your tutorials, they do help a lot! Cheers!
I really appreciate you posting actual informative videos that will IMPROVE our photography game, and not just camera reviews, where it really doesn’t matter that much. Thanks!
I like it good job. I see some critics here ripping him a new one because he did multiple shots and then composited them together in Photoshop. Most pros do compositing all the time it is called getting the job done. I know if you want to be real artsy about it and some how use a single light source to create a dozen different light hits all with perfection is a great challenge. Do so I'm not going to discourage any one from that type of challenge but when faced with tight deadlines and actual clients who usually way beyond hyper neurotic picky, breathing down your throat to get some thing done quickly all the while looking great with perfection then you must employ all techniques that you know will work. He did what he said he will do and did it well with full information and quite loudly so even the hard of hearing could listen if not understand.
The final image is gorgeous. I had no idea so much compositing went into product photography but this info is definitely something to add to the arsenal
Great video, quick suggestion if you don't mind me sharing it with you; using a cushion on your seat and being able to see you higher could make the frame better balanced.
Hollyyy shiieettt.. how come only now I get your video recommended? I was looking for a channel with a really good informative knowledge about product/food photography and I found you.. subbing for sure.. amazing work..
I'm not a photographer. My hobby is smartphone photography, but I like watching these kind of tutorials because loads of them tips are applicable to smartphone photography too. I was never really aware of how much work goes into product photography to get these gorgeous images. The final pic of the bourbon bottle is just out of this world, but wow, does it take time and effort to get there! Anyway, thx for this great video! I'll make sure to check out the rest of your channel and will probably follow you around a bit in the future. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼😉
You make it look so easy. Guess that's what experience and hard work does. I love Fstoppers and their product shot but this is on another level. Awesome job!
New subscriber here. Really great introduction to your work and I look forward to learning more from your videos! Honestly though, you had me at the opening mail delivery video as you passed through the trees- pretty dang creative, funny too! Thanks so much!
nothing to do about the lens. Must be your lighting or the profile youre shooting with (assuming you shoot jpeg since youre asking about settings). But really you can just shoot raw and post process the shots after the fact to make them moody
I think this was shot with the 100mm f2.8L from Canon. But for the most part it is lighting with a little bit of post production to increase contrast and of course blend the images together.
In times of staying home the exact video I needed. I will dive into product and food photography, thanks for your high-quality input! Greetings from Germany, stay save :)
I enjoyed the video until I saw the end product of the merged images... So many different light sources on the bottle doesn’t make it look natural. It didn’t end up being very pleasing to the eye either 🙁 thank you any way for the video
This was great! The link to your class on post-processing...is that also the link to 'intermediate and advanced beverage photography made simple'? Is it combined, or is it a seperate link? Thanks.
One light fore sure dude but so many equipement anyway, a great strobe and softbox, a strobe, diffusor. Now here is a challenge for you : could you do another frame with only one speelight flash and a umbrella ? You got this ? :) THX for the big work here, it's so inspiring
That is a really awesome shot and I really love your style of teaching. The gold foil tip was astonishing! Where did you get your ice cubes. They look really great. I cannot find any good on ebay that ship to Greece :(
What are you doing a situation where you have one light if you want to get that’s straight forward shot, no shadows direct picture? Would you put the light from in front of the camera or from the very top facing down?
Hi, I just purchase a used 4 head socket soft box that I would like to use as a key light! Would four 40watts 400 Lumens led bulbs be adequate enough for video & Photo product shooting?
Excelente video! Tengo una A7II con un lente 28/70. Mi pregunta es si se pueden hacer tanto trabajos como éste( productos ) y fotografía de modelaje con ese lente?
Question: I can't find the answer anywhere. How do you keep DUST off of your products and surfaces?? I'm getting into product vids and photos, but the dust specs and fibers and all matter of junk keep landing all over everything. We keep a clean house. But dang! Do I need to set up a fan to constantly blow on the prop area?
Very nice work One question though: Your softbox (elichrome 500 ELC 500) has a while light even though the light sourse ( not the flash of course) is yellow being produced by lamp. How can you make the yellow light. Hope you got my point

Hang in there. - Anon
I have intense anxiety about a video shoot the other day and it's definitely an upper
This is amazing, not only because of the outcome, but because of your energy, how you quickly showed edits, and... how it all makes sense. Thank you!
Cheers, I really appreciate those comments, as all of those are my main goals in education.

It just shows what amazing content can be found on YT. This is as good as it gets. Fabulous.
Cheers!
Nice tips of blending different pics together... ! very good
Damn, you do it rock solid with a lot of explanation of why you decide the shots, and at the same time you make it look so easy. cool content .

Awesome comment thanks! I’m always remembering the hard of hearing folks 😁
this just blew my mind. Amazing technique.
The final image is gorgeous. I had no idea so much compositing went into product photography but this info is definitely something to add to the arsenal
What a fantastic video. I really like this idea of making a composite image when you have only one single light. Will keep this in mind.
Great video, quick suggestion if you don't mind me sharing it with you; using a cushion on your seat and being able to see you higher could make the frame better balanced.
Been waiting for this for months! Glad you are back sir.
Thanks 🙏

Awesome video, probably the best about product photography I've found on UA-cam! Thanks, it helped a lot!

Amazing work man! love your channel!
Thanks for this video I am new to product photography and your channel has been awesome. Thanks.
Honestly love watching your videos so much it's super inspiring.

That final photo is killer!
New subscriber here. Really great introduction to your work and I look forward to learning more from your videos! Honestly though, you had me at the opening mail delivery video as you passed through the trees- pretty dang creative, funny too! Thanks so much!
I love that approach and the end result! Great work
Wow I’m super impressed. These were great tips. I never would have thought of shooting that many images for one shot.
I dont do product photography but your energy and skills are great man.
Great video. I loved your quick tips for photoshop, too. People need more exposure to the simple, effective methods.
Love how continuous the scenes are. Well done
What kind of lense and settings did you use? When I make photos like these it looks way more flat and not as moody as yours..
nothing to do about the lens. Must be your lighting or the profile youre shooting with (assuming you shoot jpeg since youre asking about settings). But really you can just shoot raw and post process the shots after the fact to make them moody
I think this was shot with the 100mm f2.8L from Canon. But for the most part it is lighting with a little bit of post production to increase contrast and of course blend the images together.
I love your enthusiasm dude!
Hey man! - it's pretty awesome this video! Where can i buy the support for panel reflector?
Killer work as usual Skyler! Cheers
You're amazing!!! How do you do all that alone?? Video, photo and acting!?!?
What about using color gels to get that nice tint?
Wow! Gorgeous shooting! Great lesson!
Great shoot and also great idea to use the one light twice. Cool image..
In times of staying home the exact video I needed. I will dive into product and food photography, thanks for your high-quality input!

Stunning work!😉👍
Mate, it was such a great video! Thank you so much!!
That is a really awesome shot and I really love your style of teaching. The gold foil tip was astonishing! Where did you get your ice cubes. They look really great. I cannot find any good on ebay that ship to Greece :(
have a look at the Ice Prop Shop, I'm not sure if they ship internationally though
There are tutorial online that will teach you how to make your own if you can’t source them.
That's a new sub earned! Very nice and short video, Maybe you could talk a little more about your camera settings ? ^^ keep em' coming!
Really great efforts
thanks for teaching
Mind Blown! Thank you for the tips!
I just stumbled on your work and I love it all! Awesome job!
awesome & well explained
What are you doing a situation where you have one light if you want to get that’s straight forward shot, no shadows direct picture? Would you put the light from in front of the camera or from the very top facing down?

Amazing one light job!!!
Thanks 🤘
GREAT, SHORT, AND STRAIGHT UP !
Holy cow, the caffeinated infomercial voice really toned down over the years. It's cranked to 11 in this video compared to 2021.
awesome tips
Excelente video!
Tengo una A7II con un lente 28/70. Mi pregunta es si se pueden hacer tanto trabajos como éste( productos ) y fotografía de modelaje con ese lente?
Great. I like the simplicity of your explanations. Love the tutorial. Keep it up. Thanks
too good man!! appreciate your efforts ! good going and thanks for the tutorials:)
Great video skyler, are you still in Muscat?
Well done! Great tut.

Great work. I just had to subscribe. Well done.
One of the best on UA-cam. . .
Amazing you just saved me for my assignment tomorrow!
I watch the video well. It helped a lot.
Well made. I was skeptical but you legit. New subscriber here.

That sounds like a genius idea. I use camera lens cloths and sometimes fiber free gloves
Very nice work
One question though:
Your softbox (elichrome 500 ELC 500) has a while light even though the light sourse ( not the flash of course) is yellow being produced by lamp. How can you make the yellow light.
Hope you got my point
This is awesome stuff and really cool tricks! Thanks so much
Great video sir!
What’s the best way to remove a label?
Great job, man! Thanks
amazing as always
I like your energy & knowledge
please keep it up you really inspire me
Thanks will try
Can I use 50mm lens for shoot
Great video man! One thing I'm missing is the opacity of the drink in the endresult. For sure I'm going to try this at home. Keep up the good work!
