I literally busted out laughing when you said “if someone is getting that technical about deodorant they got bigger problems”
@@dragonflyperceptions thank you for the comment Dragonfly!
I love the chill, matter-of-fact attitude. Tutorials get a little exhausting when so many hosts yell at the camera with fake enthusiasm, almost trying to turn the viewer into a child with overdramatic excitement and way over simplified explanations about their basic photoshop tutorial. Everything doesn't always have to feel like an afternoon special for kids you know? This was a nice change, and great info!
This is so helpful, you're like the Bob Ross for photography
Bruno Cervantes Thats a serious compliment cheers dude
Ahahaha !! I was going to say the exact same thing !!! :-D
Just like Bob Ross, you always think the image is perfect, then he adds one more thing and makes its better.
I've been going through all your videos for the past day/ Seriously, this is a Masterclass in compositing from start to finish. Excellent material and brilliantly presented.
Thank you for saying that! Have a wonderful weekend.
Removing dust with a pin light layer and a color-picked brush is fantastic. Thank you for this tip!
Making the whites pop with the "selective color" sliders is also something I had never learned before.
Great stuff, Dustin!
Great tutorial, I was afraid to start product photography because of lack of skills with flashes, but your video shows the steps, and gives me idea how to start and build up my image! Cheers!
I started donging product photography months ago as well and been looking for some ideas and tutorials to learn. Hope we could both do it well buddy. Cheers.
So happy to hear that, enjoy!
My man - killed this tutorial. Easy to follow, not boring, super informative(even things you probably didn't mean to like hot keys). Amazing quality you are getting out of your shots and especially final edits. Definitely looking forward to more videos!
Jairus, thank-you very much! Love reading insightful comments like this. Cranking out the videos real soon! Cheers pal
This is the most informational photography video I think I’ve ever watched on UA-cam! You’re a saint man
Cal, that is so good to hear! Glad you liked the speedlight tutorial :)
great tutorial mate. Lots of useful tips and no gear-mongering whatsoever!
Thank-you Amjad, it was a labor of love.
So simple and to the point. You get good information out there without being too over the top like a lot of other tutorial youtubers these days! great video
I appreciate that!
Your like the Bob Ross of photo editing! Love it.
I wish! Thank you
Hey - very nice video. Cool tips and tricks. One thing I saw that I might do differently:
When you went to remove the black 'outline' around the product (5:00 or so into the video), I've found that using the mask selection, you can use a combination of Contract (by 1-2px) + Feather to get the same effect as the brushing you were doing. Should be a lot quicker and a similar result!
Matty Nice Great comment I have tried this before, with limited success. I need to refine my formula... thx for watching, stay tuned!
Love the shift click for creating straight lines. Toptip
Valuable tip!
Found this channel today, IT'S A FREAKING GOLD MINE !!
I am very happy you found our channel, pleas enjoy!
Dustin - great presentation and REALLY useful information, start to finish. Very practical, and so very useful to me - I will definitely be seeking you out more! Thanks!
Lynda, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to write this nice comment. More product photography on the way! :)
Yup, like professionals! Great job indeed.
Wow, thanks!
Just getting into this business in the UK. Thank you so much for simplifying the entire process, you've helped me astronomically!
Great technique with merging different exposures! I've used it before, but it was great to see how you incorporate it into your workflow.
Awesome, glad you watched our video Jesca :)
Best description box I've seen!! Love the gear and the way you list it. Thank you!
We appreciate that!
Awsome tutorial, and yes using multiple exposures with different lighting and blending it in photoshop is a extremely powerful tool. As long as nothing moves it is great. It can be used in different types of photos to, i have used it in landscape, architectural and automotive photography.
Excellent point SouZ. These applications are far reaching in many photography genres, not just products! Our channel will expand to other areas when it's appropriate. (-: Stay tuned
You must be fun to hang around and through some random photoshoots!
Thank-you Andrea I'm a fun loving person. (-:
Thank you for this video. As a detailer I’m planning to open a website and sell detailing products and this will really help me focus my time and energy into the product shoots.
Hello, your work is incredible, very good. Now , Can you see the pictures of Martini advertising? basically, there are out side with complements like raw food, well maybe would be great that kind of pictures in your Chanel, with a background outside, regards from Peru!
I will check it out, sounds like my cup of tea! Thanks
I've been using Photoshop for years and never really messed with the patch tool. I use it every day now because of your videos. Thank you.
Yeah man! I have so many parts of my photoshop flow from small tool tips I learned here and there. Have a good one
Your presentation is great, but your information is fantastic!
Cheers Alex! 📸📸📸
Alex Whittemore pl
Love seeing videos like this. I have a very basic setup myself with just one speedlite, softbox, and diffuser. All of your Photoshop edits include a lot of steps I do most days so it's nice to know I could achieve something like this without crazy gear!
Thank you good sir
To create a gradient: Adjustment Layer -> Gradient Fill and also tick the Dither checkbox ( to reduce banding ).
Excellent video brother, I double majored in audio engineering and graphic design. That was years ago so I watch stuff like this to stay up on what people are doing and this is amazing work. Great job, very informative.. I definitely subbed.
Cheers Stanley
Thank you so much! Your techniques and teaching style are gold!
Thank-you kindly!
Hi Dustin the video is great but i am not sure how you get the transparent background after created the path....i am a newbie in PS so maybe you can help detailing a bit? Approx at min 3 before you color background in red thanks
When you have a selection present, click the "Add a Layer Mask Button" near the "Create New Layer" button :)
Did you use the pen tool to create your clipping path? Or did you use the backlit frame to somehow create a clipping path by altering the shadows/highlights?
what if you use something like a gaussian blur for the background instead of adding noise? Just wondering what that would do. I think that would make sense, but i'd have to see it I guess. Great info in this video, I learn a lot every time! Thanks for sharing!!!
crimorf It sounds like it works in theory, though in practice a blur actually worsens the issue. It alll comes down to colour depth! (-:
I love the sound the flash makes
We share that love.
This is my new favorite youtube channel. Great work, man.
Ashes Mandalay I'm honoured! I wont let you down, Wine Photography next!
Really good video! Lots of info. But can you tell me how you trigger the flash? Thanks!
Best product photography ever 👏
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen!
That's a big statement :o
Bro you are fantastic! That chilled out way you present. love it!
Hey thanks man! I appreciate that and have a VERY chilled out video on the way!
workphlo looking forward!
You are doing some fantastic work man. Thank you for all these tutorials!
I guess the 42 thumbs down people are the ones who spent $50 000 on equipment and got the same results
(well.. minus the loans).
Haha Luke thank you for your comment! Yeah I love boiling this stuff down to minimal gear, it really shows you what matters!
what camera and lens do you use? Beautiful work btw
Haha loving the attitude while you improve the picture. Thanks!
hahah thanks Kuda!
keep the videos coming. really love the results you're getting with speed lights. Truly inspiring content.
timmymayes Thx 🐺
Amazing man!!
stop here by accident and couldn't stop watching this... Congrats! Great content!
Eric, thanks a lot dude
Just found your channel via fstoppers. Great work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and knowhow.
Regards from Canada
Kalpesh, thank-you from a fellow Canadian (Guelph, Ontairo) cheers!
Can you make a video on how to easily correct banding?? In a couple different ways?
apply a small amount of grain over the whole image. Done.
Chris Lambeth Noise is great for banding . The problem is there is also monitors and file compression which can externally introduce banding. ie. facebook upload or UA-cam compression. Thanks for watching!
Look up "dithering." That's the technique he used.
idk, watching your vid, seems like you're the God of product photography, thats it
I also think you did a great job on this video. Do you have any techniques for improving the type on the label?
Cliff Fiess, Actually you can combine the art of the label (like a .png file with the logo and stuff) with the photo of the bottle. Adding a little bit of noise and grain at this png file, and after applying a bit of noise and grain on the entire image after placing the logo on the product, makes it look natural. Then you can have the best logo on the bottle you could have. This techinique is the most used I believe.
Dude this was amazing. You were flawless with your tutorial !
Pedro, thanks for the kind words brother.
How did you use the silhouette shot to get the mask?
Guapo! Magic wand the high contrast frame, I show more in depth in our wine episodes.
If you hang a sheet of Flexi-Glass between your side light and the product, the side highlight's edge transfer will be smoother and softer.
Thank you Steven !
Thank you for sharing this with us !
Hey Dustin! very good tutorial, I was wondering, if I can use same method above for portrait photography? but the problem is human are not static like product, so my question, is there any setting in transmitter for using a multiple flash to shoot in desire sequence? for example:
pattern A using flash 1 and 2
pattern B using flash 3 and 1
and when I click the trigger, the transmitter will shoot using pattern A at first place followed by pattern B.. is that possible? thank you in advance!
Great question, I do not think this is possible but let me know if you find out otherwise.
At our company we are using flashes by "Hensel" for product photography. They have a function called freemask. With this function the camera is taking 2 pictures in a row and in every picture different flashes are used. The primary usage is to illuminate the product in the first picture and to illuminate ONLY the background in the second picture to create a silhouette of the object which you can use as a mask to seperate the object from the background. In the settings of the transmitter you can choose which flashes are used in every picture. The brand Godox has also flashes which have this function. There it is called "Alt mask". Both flashes by Hensel and by Godox are very expensive and made for professional use. Unfortunately it is not a solution for "hobby photographers". And it is very important that your model moves as less as possible because there are a few miliseconds between the first and the second picture. I hope I was able to answer your question. :)
@@wavekick cooollll! thank you so much for your answer sir! :D
loving the videos learning so much from them
Cheers Shakeeb!
Hi Dustin! I hope it's okay to ask but where did you receive your compositing training? I love the tips and tricks that you give during your videos and I love working in photoshop and want to get better with compositing
This is so good. I don't know if I'll ever do product photography but I'm going to continue to watch your videos
That really says something, I'm honored -- thanks!
Hey, can't find the video that shows website that you are using for some work flow to cut out background.
0:23 the swag of this man! SWAG!
Cheers bud
Snapping fingers like magic wand!
Haha :)
The strip box says is it comes with a speedring for Bowens. What do you use to mount a speedlight?
Steve Lig Look for ''frequently purchased with" this stripbox on amazon, it's a Speedlight to Bowens adapter. (-:
How did u make it horizontal??? Ur editing skills are amazing
Horizontal? Not sure what you meant, but you can crop any canvas size in Photoshop, especially because we are artificially making our background. Cheers!
That was an awesome video. Just found your channel. Please keep up the great work! I’m on the armature side when it comes to photoshop so personally I would have loved it slowed down and explained more. Regardless it was great. Thanks!
Thank-you very much! The post production depth has been a constant request, so I will definitely take your advice!
Great video-super helpful! Since you're using digital backgrounds, is there any reason you shot in landscape? Wouldn't you get higher resolution of the product if you shot in portrait?
Luke, may I apologize for missing this comment and give you the answer 3 months late? My tripod head is of poor quality and slowly lowers if the camera is in portrait orientation. So I sacrificed resolution here, to ensure the layer will line up in post for the product edit. (-:
😳 omg ur awesome and u make it look so ez. Guess gonna take some practice to edit as fast as u. Thank you for the vid 👍🏽
Awesome product editing
That was kind of a magic going on! you were totally aware of details, nice job!
Cheers! I love cleaning up all the details to zoom out and have the product just sit "right" -- have a great week!
I love how you say you “enjoy that” when you like something hahaha just makes it more interesting to watch
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your comment, thank you!
Just discovered this chanel, it is incredible!! Thanks so much for the the great insides. Helps so much for everybody who wants to start out :)
Thank you Ramon I appreciate that!
Nice work man! how did you learn to work with the photoshop? you do everything so fast it's amazing
Thanks a lot! I just played around inside the program A LOT
Thanks "Dusty"! I went out and bought some Old Spice. A question from a newbie: You have the white background, but in the final shot it's black. How do you do that? In Post?
No it is the light naturally falling off. Without a flash the frame would be black and light falls off exponentially
Thanks for being a fellow Canadian photog my friendly friend! I can tell from the labels... :-)
Thank-you fellow Canadian (-: Please do stay tuned
Hi Dustin. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the masks for the backgrounds. Do you apply the masks to every shot (your going to use for lighting effects) you bring into photoshop or after you are completely done retouching the product and then extract to use in the canvas. I know you take a sillihoute shot but can't figure out how you use it. Could you explain when you use it or how would be greatly appreciated. Really stuck on that. Thanks!
Hi there! For more help with masking, make sure to watch the video on our channel: How to Photograph Wine with Plexiglas. We go over start-to-finish the process of using a silhouette to select your item. Simply put, I apply the selection mask to a GROUP which contains all the layers, that way it's just 1 mask to cut out anything in that group.
Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Looks very nice indeed, even so I don´t like the banding, why did you keep it on the final image.
Best all,
Remus
Hi, I didn't intend to - perhaps it just displayed worse on your monitor? Hope it's not too bandy! Best.
You are just awesome, love your humor as well!
Cheers Ektor, I like your headshot!
Hello! Please tell me what settings you used for the 1:04 minute photo. Thanks.
ISO 200 f/11 1/200
@@workphlo thank you very much
This is amazing information here!! Thank you. Where have you gone for 2021?
Been very busy with work! Just uploaded a new tutorial :)
What lens are you using?
What lens do you recommend for Product Video shooting so getting really upclose and getting the aluminium details to pop and the touchscreen. Aswell as taking pictures on a nightstand in full light? The item is 14x14x48CM large. I am thinking about getting the canon 200D but what lens should I get?
NielsNy That's a great question, a focal length of 85-100mm is popular if you have the space to frame your item. Here I used kit lens, a lot of this comes down to lighting. Best of luck!
workphlo Ok, thanks for the tip. Can I shoot videos like this with the 85-100mm lens or do I need a macro lens for this? ua-cam.com/video/UrUcAtfv4wo/v-deo.html
Because I don't know if I should get a macro lens or a normal lens for the really close up shots with some light hovering above to get the detail.
Thank you. You make it so easy to understand!
Cheers eh
Thanks for great tutorials, what do you use as a table? how is plexiglass installed?
Hey Lucas! We use a metal plate with a nut welded to it, as a simple stand. See the last 30 second of our latest video for a visual!
Wooooow excellent work :) thank you for sharing your knowledge, i have learn something new
Glad we could help :)
Nice! That noise part was my fav part :D
Awesome, thanks! It's a neat tip.
Dude you crack me up. Laughed harder than when I watch John Oliver. I love your demeanor when you shoot and teach. Subbed!
Haha thanks Greg! I enjoy making this product photography videos thoroughly
Much respect for your photography and tutorial skills, but I’m mainly commenting to say that you crack me the hell up! “I’m not really technically an expert at any of this stuff, I just like making deodorant look grreeat!” made me literally LOL 😂😂. I’m going through all your vids and learning something from each while being entertained. Keep it up!
Whats the iso ,aperture ,shutter speed combination?For product flash photography.
What are you using to place the objects on?
Hi Justin, we put our product on a small metal disc with a nut welded to the bottom. This helps use have access for those side highlights!
How does one achieve that all black background
At 1/200s the exposure is black without the flash, and the flash which is close to the subject is falling off drastically and barely illuminating the wall leaving it dark grey and appearing pure black. Hope that helps!
What are you placing the deodorant on? I know it’s a light stand of sorts but what’s the attachment at the top?
it's a small custom welded plate. Google a baby-wall plate for a similar solution
This was so good! Thank you, I will trying out all of this.
Here, have my upvote!
David Hurtado Thank you kind sir. 😎
Adoring your videos!
That's really intriguing. Thanks for sharing.
Great stuff dude - get to know the pen tool - way better than masks for artefact free edges
Thanks Peter, I really appreciate it! I disagree about the pen tool, it also creates a mask -- but I have been refining the back-light method and it's very accurate and I love having the object itself determine the mask shape!
workphlo do you ever output the product shot in isolation as a .png? Or do you always make backgrounds?
Do you do product shots for customers?
Hey man whats the black acrylic piece you put on top of that light stand? In which you put the deodorant on? Trying to find one to take similar product shots. Is the stand that the deodorant is on listed on your parts list as well?
Hey there, it's actually custom welded. Google "baby wall plate" to find something similar on the market, best of luck!
wow thats a quality work dude
Thank-you Basem! I'm glad to see this video rank so high under the search "Product Photography" -- and thank you for stopping by!
Hi coming to this great tutorial again. Question: at the end you show the result after more off video editing, and i notice the sharp highlight around the bottom of the product. How do you do that in photoshop? Thanks!
Hey! Sorry can you elaborate? The 1 highlight there was shot in camera I believe... :-)
Sure @ ua-cam.com/video/bTo4Jrn-EgA/v-deo.htmlm4s notice the highlight around the bottom, it's not there in the rest of the tutorial until after the last off-camera edits. I'm guessing you do that with photoshop brushes or something...?
@@apcut that's wht I wana learn... he made the product horizontal and shifted it below the product to create the shade... question is how did he made the product horizontal
Hello Austin, Im your big fan from Indonesia. May we have your file for this deodoran so we can learn how to retouch this kind of photo?because I dont have the camera and gears yet. Thankyou.
OMG this is fantastic! Thanks for sharing
No problem
Hey! great vid! trying to do the gradient effect as you do but its not working for me (same settings..) do you have any idea whey it happen?
I can't say for sure, just make sure all the gradient options are the same as mine! Best of luck
A master! Great one!
Wow, thanks Gustavo!
Beautiful work Dustin, keep the content coming! Question for you: Which strip box do you use with your speedlights?
Chris Fisher Thanks! I use an LA softbox amazon. It was 55 dollars and 27 dollars for the speedlight bowens mount adapter!
Thank you!
