amazing tips. i struggle with getting pure white and not having it be blown out. i could spend a whole day watching tutorials on getting the background right
Thank you sooo much for your clear and understandable explanations. I - as Austrian - understand your English very well and I can follow each single word. It‘s always a pleasure to follow your videos. 🙏🏻
I am always learning although retired just in case needed. I will check out legacy videos again. I want to thank the photographer and staff for great content!!
Thanks for sharing. Would you recommend that product photographers use tilt shift lenses or traditional lenses and do focus stacking processing in post-production?
Hi, if you're using technical cameras with tilt, shift, rise or tilt and shift lenses then you have almost no need for focus stacking techniques. Learn more about this on our website.
Sometimes, we try to finish it just by changing the color variations of the product in Photoshop. Not good. Reflection and more are different per color.
I don't know.... yes they do look better under gradient lighting, but when I'm on Amazon looking to buy a product, I would much rather see how the product reflects light in a normal environment. The gradient lighting makes the product look slightly artificial and over processed. Also the blacks aren't as deep and the texture looks more matt that it probably is. This normally puts me off buying things as I feel it's misrepresented. I might want to know if it has a mirror finish on certain parts, and gradient lighting hides that. Would like to add that your liquid photos are amazing and I had to stop and look at each one for a while. They are so good.
Hi and thank you for your comments. With regards to gradient lighting it needs to be used in a controlled fashion as yes you are absolutely correct that you don't want to loose the 'gloss' feel. The gloss look comes from also keep one or two sharp cut offs of light, so for example you might have a gradient on one side that dissolves away but the gradient on the other side has a sharp cut off definitive edge. You will see this in my work and many other product photographers work. We cover how to do this in-depth on our platform. Also I would add that I understand what you mean regarding e-commerce shots but the type of product photography we're talking about here is for a more luxurious advertising style image where this technique is used more.
@@VisualEducationStudio Thanks for clarifying. I get that your shots are for luxury end work and to be used on posters to sell things. What I was getting at was how such high end looking work might be detrimental to selling regular everyday items, like a kettle on Amazon. Product photography in your world is more about art and flare, but sometimes you want to see a shot that just has regular room lighting in context of how it will be used. I might see a heavily processed gorgeous image of it with great colour grading and nice use of shadows etc, but it's also a red flag to me. This probably doesn't apply to you, but anyone getting started in basic product photography might want to be careful about being too good at their job, lol. Perhaps I'm over thinking it, it's just my personal take on how great lighting might not be the best choice all the time.
This went more in depth than I expected. Very generous of you, thank you.
You're very welcome!
So glad to hear that pro photographers do actually rely on compositing sometimes. It makes me feel like I’m not cheating.

The 5th tip seems to be the most difficult to implement
