    So I used to work as a photo assistant for a while, and spent most of my time in charge of lighting. I really appreciate your clear explanations and how you illustrate the effects of the different changes you're making. Most videos on lighting technique aren't anywhere as near as clear as this. Well done!

    I’d saved 2 of your videos to my Faves playlist. I start watching this video and realized I wasn’t subscribed 🤷🏽. This video sealed the deal. I loved this practical demonstration of the nuance of light and just how amazing a simple but intentional set-up can be. 🙏🏼

    JP, awesome video. I have some products to shoot and during some test runs, I used the foam board very differently lol. I'm going to try your V-flat method. What kind of tape did you use to make them?
    PS: I felt really studious having studied angle of view and the light going off when you mentioned it LOL

    • @TheSlantedLens
      @TheSlantedLens  2 роки тому

      We used black gaff tape to put them together.

  • @AmazingKevinWClark
    @AmazingKevinWClark 2 роки тому

    The way I like to consider the light and shadows is to make sure the principle focus is more pronounced over the things that are just there to fill negative space. So for me I would want the sides of this shot to fall away into a bit of shadow because I want your eyes to be drawn to the bowl that we end the shot on. Maybe as we get closer the light slightly gets brighter on the bowl by a dimmer. Not enough to notice without intense examination of the scene.

    Hey great video - I have been thinking about this approach since I saw it once on an assisting gig. What I want to know is how come you don't end up with the issue of 'double' shadows, as you have two lights? I am assuming that if you see a double shadow it can really make the image look messy.

    If food spills all over the table in a product shoot, it's a "creative choice", but if I do it at home, it's a "mess"
