I agree that this would benefit from a quick diagram that pops up with each light source addition and an overview of general camera/flash stats. Having said that, very good tutorial! Fast, clear and the results speak for themselves!
I just viewed your video. Thanks for sharing. I work at a winery and take photos of the wine bottles. Cabs, Rose', whites. I have a small studio set up in a bedroom. Your set up is great for my purpose. Thanks again.
I'm in a moment in my life where I just don't shoot anymore. I miss that a little, but life being what it is, I don't think to much about it. I saw one of you videos on Reddit and now, all I want to do is shoot again and again. You're an amazing artist, I wish I could have your talent !
Cool tutorial. Would love to see a wider shot of the whole setup + a discussion on that as part of it, more behind the scenes setup tips! Thanks for the vid.
Great info. I've recently started to photograph wine bottles and glasses using speedlites in a similar way. I'm amazed at how enjoyable shooting these types of photos is (at least to me). I got particular value from how you removed the bottle to get that terrific gradient on the wine glass. Thanks much. I really enjoyed this video and look forward to more.
I love these videos, I live in Florida and I normally do Landscape, Cityscape and Oceanscape, I just started in product photograph, these videos have been a great help to me.
So glad to hear that Paul. Once I got started in product photography is overtook all my interest, I just love the simplicity of being able to shoot in a small space... having said that, cityscapes and oceanscapes are beautiful! I hope to branch back out into more genres this summer
Great job... I love the business approach you have toward the hardware used... any photographer can start implementing your technique with just 2 speed lights 2 stands on diffuser and one reflector ... that rocks man.
Always a pleasure to get your insight Frank! I love showing what can be done with minimal equipment, before complicating the process with the expensive crazy stuff! :-)
No a big digital photographer but your videos are very smooth and easy to grasp. i understand lighting from 35mm but this is just simply interesting camera work and commentation
Excellent explanation and love the attention to detail that you have. I really enjoy when you flip between the before/after photos, as well, so that we can see the difference between those. That's very helpful.
Hey Mate, I had to shoot 55 wine bottles for a client today and this tutorial really inspired me with creative ways to light the bottle instead of throwing a few strip boxes at it, the angled strip at a diffuser throws out some really interesting soft gradient light which I love. Thanks so much for putting this together.
I am really enjoying your tutorials! Camera info, lens info, and photo settings would be appreciated :) also maybe a diagram of the lights because I couldn't 100% tell where the key light was. Thank you, can't wait for the next one!
Thank-you! I meant to add some b-roll to show the angle more clearly, but I forgot to film it at the end. The light was a foot behind the wine bottle -- next time I will show this! Stay tuned :)
Thank you soo much. You boosted my confidence to try things out without expensive gear. Your work is awesome, what's more awesome is they way you explain it.. Keep up the good work. Bell icon pressed, awaiting more awesome videos...
Loving your work and it's really opened my eyes to take desperate shots and comping together in post. Usually I try and do the whole thing in camera and can spend so long doing so. This gives me another idea to try out to add some interest like you did with swirling the wine in the glass. Can't wait to see what you have to come these are awesome 🙏👍💯
In my most recent video, I cover a bit of compositing which is all I did to 'paint' the swirl glass in over the 'original' glass. Check it out and hopefully this assists you! More compositing explanations on the way.
Your channel is amazing! When I was watching it I told myself why the hell I had never see your tutorials before, to realize you've been active doing these videos for only 4 weeks! Absolutely stellar work, incredible delivery!
New to Digital Photography I have just come across to workphlo and having appreciated your product photography has reminded me of doing it as well in black and white bromide. Now all I got is 2 speedlights, stands etc and only Lightroom. If you have some L/R tutorials would you please let me know. I have already subscribed to workflow. Thaml you in advance.
I have no L/R tutorials at the moment, thought I use camera raw which is very similiar in my tutorial "Photographing Wine Using Plexi Glass". Glad you found our channel!
HEy Dustin. I'm enjoying your tutorials very much.. I have to capture a black, Green & Clear wine bottle this week... So I'm researching .. I am not knowledgable with photo shop So I'm looking for straight shots.. in the camera... also Do you ever shoot with steady lights? what do you think the benefit of strobes & steady lights are?
I like speedlights because of the brief flash duration, which can capture a splash very well or freeze motion. Continuous are great for visualizing while you move lights. Either are great!
I found this really informative and love the condensed format. I found myself a little unclear where the striplight was placed and there was a point when you set up the screen-right reflector I had to go back to catch what you did, but all in all I felt I learned some useful info for a minimal expenditure of time. Thanks! Hope to see more.
Got a new subscriber in me. Beyond being a great tutorial I really appreciate how direct and thorough your instructions were. The use of pop-ins help a ton. 2 Things: 1) How would you go about if you didn't' have a speed-light and could only make use of direct light and reflectors? 2) What are you recommendations for speed-lights?
Thanks pal! I really appreciate it. 1: You could do this with any continuous light with the same principles, you might need a longer exposure time! A longer exposure time will not allow you to freeze the motion of the swirling wine, but everything else is doable. 2: I love Yongnuo brand speedlights. I have the Yongnuo 560-IV and 560-III, they are very inexpensive but work fantastically. I use a Yongnuo 560TX Transmitter on top of my camera to trigger these, it is also quite inexpensive.
So nice to see an appropriately executed video!!! Lots of useful information delivered in short frame of time, without trying to be a comedian or a technical nerd. Well done, mate :-) I hope others get inspired.
Any tips for shooting bottles with foil accents, how do you adjust for the hot spot foil areas? Foil has become a four letter F word to me lately, it's taking over the shot.
Hey Marcelo, I show a ton of my post production tips for wine here: ua-cam.com/video/n0-akbOIiaA/v-deo.html And I will be making more in-depth courses with your recommendation in mind :) Cheers and thanks for watching!
Fantastic, just what I was looking for. Love your tutorials you are a great photographer but most important a great teacher, very easy to understand and follow the indications. Thank you so much..!!
Dustin, you mentioned that you make selections and drag out anchoring in Photoshop to expand your background. Would you mind explaining a little more how you do this... Content aware fill or another command? I would really be interested to know. Thanks :)
In thinking about this, it seems to me that you can drag a marquee to select each side of the background and use the Transform tool set to ‘distort’, and just pull it out to make it wider. Since it’s a pretty plain background without much detail you should be able to do that. Turns out I’m just finishing up a very similar photo - using Dustin’s techniques - and I need a bit more background, just like here. So, I’m going to try it tomorrow. I’ll check back in here and let you know how that worked. 😎
OK, guys and gals - yes, what I mentioned does indeed solve the problem of extending the background. Since our background here is mostly flat (except for the grade in tone) it will work. It’s not a ‘magic command,’ although I do like that term. 🙂 Just select the background on each side with the marquee tool (one side at a time); do ‘Command/Control T’ to engage the Transform tool; set it to ‘scale’ and scale non-uniformly, dragging the anchor point outward. And presto! You extend your background. Just note that a) you need to make a wide enough selection, otherwise you’ll have to pull out a LONG way; and b) it works best if there’s nothing else from an upper layer overlaying the background. Otherwise you’ll need to make further edits to blend it with the stretched background. Cheers! I hope Dustin doesn’t mind me helping out here…just trying to help others. I should probably join his Facebook group and engage there.

Awesome idea, thanks.
Any chance you'll be doing that diagram? It's a nice tutorial but a little hard to see the actual light placement
ozgothic I have wine diagrams in our facebook group (pinned comment) but check out the latest wine episode, I break down this setup further! Cheers
@@ozgothic I agree, great to tutorial but I would really like to see the actual lighting set up.

Quick question - how do you mount your plexi? Looks very simple. I use an alternate method but would like to try your method too.

I recently bought an 80cm octabox. You reckon I get the same effect as a "stripbox" or should I cover the "circle" and make it rectangular with some cardboard, to get the stripbox effect?
MnnnM1 That's a great Octa to have! Yes you could totally mask a rectangle out of it, or try creating a gradient without reshaping
Hi guy, thanks for yours tutorial, there are great! Could you advice a minimum size for the softbox to use? Is 90cm x 22cm enough to get a light along the all bottle? thanks in advance
Great, how to make sure that the edges of the bottle are sharp? Camera setting or photoshop?
histrus42 Keep a decent aperture like f11 at a minimum. This will keep the sides sharp in-camera
