I love your series of foundational video's on lighting subjects/objects! You are a great teacher. Have a great day!
Thank you so much Mark! Really appreciate you watching, commenting and being a part of TSL family!
Very instructional video, thanks JP!
Great content JP. Every time when I come to this channel I learn something great to boost my photography skills and that's why this is one of my favorite channels. Love from India.
Great to hear! Happy to help!
thanks for multiple lighting set ups. You cover lots ways of controlling light on products.
You are the best on UA-cam at this kind of video. Always.
If someone watches this entire series, and then also watches any Tony Corbell video they can find then... well on their way.
Wow thank you so much for the kind words! Your thoughts and participation in this community is greatly appreciated. :)
It's probably the best video about product photography lighting, that I've seen. Thank you!
So glad you found it helpful!
Well done and even more well explained. A really useful video!!
Really appreciate your thoughts! Let me know if you have any requests for future videos. :)
No nonsense video. Thanks!

Thank you! So incredibly helpful. I've been shooting our products for our site for over 10 years and am just now seeing the greater possibilities using better lighting and more creative light set up- thanks to you! Inspiring!
Great to hear. Enjoy setting up your product shots!
So glad i found your channel, very structured and helpfull content. Keep on JP!

So much fun and interesting, love watching your lighting set up class video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your comment!
This kind of educational stuff is why I subbed to TSL years ago
Happy to hear it Carl! Really appreciate you.
This was great. Very informative
Glad you found it worthwhile!
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm curious to know what camera settings you were able to achieve using those continuous Aputure lights? Do you find that they put out enough light to shoot at/near 100 iso / f8-10 / 1/200?
This video is brilliant! Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
your lessons are Brilliant !!! THANK YOU !!!
Thank you so much!
Please keep up these product photo videos!! keep them coming as im needing and learning allot from them
Awesome! Happy to hear this is beneficial for you. Let me know any questions you have or examples of what you'd like to learn in another video.
@@TheSlantedLens I review mens grooming products and allot of it comes in small tins and I have a hard time making that interesting for B role or photo. I also am wondering how you would light something like lather on a shave brush as it keeps blowing out on me and you can't tell what it is.. also lighting for a small area would be nice as well. if you're wondering what I'm talking about check my page and website for what I am getting.. thanks and can't wait to learn more about this from you!
Great video and perfect techniques the last technique is best in my opinion
Thank you so much Hani! I think I agree with you on that one! :)
Excellent video my friend.
This stuff separates you from the rest !!
Thank you so much! Hearing this means a lot. :)
as always, good info!! 🌟💪🏼💪🏼🙏🏼
Glad you think so! Thanks for your comments!
Really amazing, thank you!
Our Pleasure. Glad you liked it!
Great informative videos. There are not lot of photographers who are willing to share their experience and knowledge with the photography learners. Greatly appreciate your efforts.
regards
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
This is one of the most educational series on the mechanics of photography I've seen. I find that this and the others are ones I need to review from time to time. One thing, why not develop a course on product photography. I have and enjoy the food photography course, but my interest lean more toward product imaging.
That is a great idea Vic. We will definitely consider that.
Thank you! This video is really helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Very helpful to me, thankyou Sir !
You are most welcome! Thanks for your comment!
You are an amazing teacher, I wish you taught my intro to Photography class in college.
Wow, thank you! Good luck with your career!
Sir ur technique is very easy and good to learn thanks for ur technique luv u ❤️
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
Thank you for your always interesting videos
You got it Todd! Happy you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy your videos! They're super informative! Anyhow, I wonder if you can provide a bit of advice for me. I have a jewelry business and I do most of my own product photography, especially the white background types of shots. I'm in the process of upgrading my photography gear to make my life easier (my goal is less time spent in post processing). Since I'm upgrading the gear anyway, I'd like to find a setup that allows me to shoot product photos as well as some simple but nice looking videos for social media (talking head, process videos, etc.). I'm typically good with investing a little bit of money up front for well made items that will serve me for years, but I only have a medium size bedroom in which everything will live, so I can't have tons of gear. If you were to recommend one (or possibly two) lights and parabolic softboxes that would serve both of my purposes well, what would you recommend? Thank you in advance for your help!
Thank you
Great informations thank u
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Thank you master.
You got it! ;)
Excellent video!
Thanks for your interest and support Steve!
dude you can literally see the studio lights reflection on every shot how is that good
That is what retouching is for.
Wish they had taught this in photography class. Not spending 3 hours editing our own photos each week
Right!!!
InstaBlaster
Awesome
great teacher!
Appreciate your comment and support Matt.
thank you, Chandler
Hope you learned some good stuff!
He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast - Da Vinci. -----Thanks for the good practice and theory!
Wow! Great quote. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
thank you!
Thanks for your support!
Cheers!
Hey Ben, Thanks for watching!
Your videos always kick booty . 💯👍
Haha! Thank you 😆💥
When you put your cards in to fill, the glossy surfaces show your card. Do you edit those out after, move the cards so they aren't noticeable, or do you not care that they are in your subject matter?
We would remove them in photoshop. Another thing that you can do is to spray your shiny objects with dulling spray if you don't want things reflecting.
Do you have any videos that show how to light reflective objects with indirect light? So maybe the softbox on white wall to light objects as opposed to it aiming directly at it including fill cards. Thanks!!
Why don't you try it yourself ?
That's the way of learning, this is only for showing you direction !!!!
RS I have tried it myself!!
@@adamcolvin3652 Well than you have the answer already.
RS Reread the question.
It's like a cooking show but with light.
That is a good analogy. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Amazing content.
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tutorial - like always -thank you. The most expensive camera is useless with out light. Configure your lighting first, which i have not been doing They say thats the first thing you do, which i read some while ago.
Very true! Light is the real tool. Keep on clickin!
Does your book have the answer to my question?Thanks
Can't see your question Adam.
The Slanted Lens I just was wondering if you had any content on using indirect light to shoot reflective objects. Example: using a fill card to light a toaster or using a big white wall to light a car. So the light would be flagged off from main subject and hitting it by bouncing off something. It was a class assignment. Thanks!
You explain it such that even an idiot like me could follow you perfectly.
Glad to hear you found it helpful!
But when you put the foam boards to the side for light bounce you can SEE it in the reflection. And I don't want to do anything in post. No editing.
Tape the cards together and it will gradate in and out and look natural.
Rock music does not need controlled voice.
Top light is way more interesting
Top light is nice as well!
Disernmination? Is that a new word?
Great video.
Wish you would stick with photography and avoid the gear reviews.
Really appreciate your opinion Jenny! Let me know any requests or suggestions you have for future photography videos. :)
@TheSlantedLens How is this free? This video is still golden after 4 years! Thanks a lot for posting this
You are very welcome! Thanks for the comment!
so good! quality content! thank you!
Thank you! Glad you found it worthwhile!
