Stellar video Skylar. You're one of the best out there! Starting my first food photography gig next week and this is going to help a lot! Cheers :)

[@DapurBiru]

Wow. Well done🤗

[@jennaloo]

Thanks for the great video! I'm about to invest in a few surfaces for food photography. What size (e.g. 2x4 ft, 3x4 ft) do you think works best for this purpose? It's an answer that's surprisingly difficult to find online!

[@happyandeasysamayal1286]

Nice Video.. I have used only one tube light for all my food videos till now 😃 Will try work on my lightings.. Thank you!

[@offcenterconcepthaus]

Damn good -- thank you.

[@niyoskitchen]

I love your intro. great video

[@Kreomedia]

I've never done strictly food photography and I'm propably not planning to. But still, you seem like such a cool guy and you use lights so efficiently, that it's a pure pleasure to watch your videos:d Great job!

[@chitokan]

dope :)

[@feedfood6436]

Waoo its amazing

[@AngelaMasnn]

It's 3 years later but were those workshops recorded? I'd love to watch them!

[@SusanneGeert]

Great tips Skyler! My hardest part of flatlays are definitely getting them 100% straight. It's like every time I try to adjust the ballhead a tiny bit I loosen the 'adjusting handle/knot', move a milimeter and tighten the 'adjuster' again - and then it 'falls' into place with the weight of the camera and still not straight. Any tips? Kind regards, Susanne

[@aadilmalik1590]

Firstly! Great videos and such gentle teacher you are. Love learning from you Coming to my question for this particular video . Are you going to be using continuous lighting for your shoot setup of are you going to be using Flash with the C.light. would love to know thanks

[@WeiK0]

Great ~

[@a_rodrigues_jr]

awesome

[@isaacboudour5772]

Hi how did you realise you backdrops, can you prepare for us a video tutorial for the realisation?, thank you

[@srikanthvishaka418]

You r the best😘😘😘😘😘😘

[@jthedrifter]

Hello Sir. Any advise on a tripod ball head strong enough to hold the Canon 1DXMKII with a Tamron 24-70 Lens for flat lays? I usually use a tripod video head because no ball head that I have can hold such heavy setup steady.

[@williamseow3142]

may i know where and how do i find the middle piece metal rod at 3:00 ?

[@Doomsonjnr]

you the best

[@elextranomundodemomoco1990]

muy buen video chabal

[@whaleous06]

Hi where did you get your backdrops?

[@kenlewphoto]

Great video again! Do you have a case or something to travel with your backgrounds?

[@skylerburtphotos]

That would be one big case! It's a good idea, but I usually use moving blankets or I rent backgrounds for some shoots

[@kenlewphoto]

Oh I don’t mean big rolls of backgrounds lol I mean for your flat lays. I noticed you have smaller ones that you laid down. I have some that are made of water proof/resistant paper and I wanted to have a way of storing or traveling with them without damaging during transport. Anyway, just wondering if you had something like that. Thanks for your reply!

[@prisyi9470]

What kind of wood did you use sir? Please answer this.. really hope

[@danieltimmers9885]

@weeattogheter Hello! Do you have any tip for shooting wine flatlays? I'm looking for help in this area. Thank you for the attention!

[@Vampirecookie90]

What settings are good for food photography?

[@fredacaccavale242]

What tripod head is that?

[@varunaanand4289]

Good photography and flat lay photography are same or different?

[@letscook5094]

Creative tips, I use only some of those basic tips cz still out of 💵💵💵 😂😂😂.

[@janafrisch7629]

Maybe a dumb question, but when i want my hands in the Picture, how do i take the photo? I mean, i still Need to press the button on the cam, Right?

[@Tzazilas]

You do it with remote control

[@janafrisch7629]

@@Tzazilas ah, okay, thanks you 👌🏼

[@ahmedelbadry63]

How can I take a clear shoot without focus points " everything clear" without blurry spots in the shot?

[@iWadey]

Higher F stop. if you are doing a flatlay it won't need to be too high. F4 tops

[@grongos.1345]

Can you put subtittles on the videos?

[@VladoRamirez]

you are the fuking boss , thanks you

Бро чуть помедленнее.

[@tobiasmaiermaus]

Also: Make food that's actually palatable. These giant leaves of parsley are not fun to eat.

[@badhabit714]

I eat by myself😢

[@varunsen850]

u spend half the video giving ads.. we are here to learn .. not to see ads i guess

[@baodown76]

I think your videos are great but telling us about workshops in the middle breaks up the flow of your videos. I noticed this the last couple of videos. I thought I accidentally hit another video or something.

[@iyazsofu6873]

brother i wish you will say something or talk in your next video ..you are so so so silent

[@muhammadasifpervaiz]

You should be a bit more humble. Reduce your speed. Try to be more organic. Help others in the real sense and be generous to others without keeping greed in mind. I hope the message is delivered..

[@fakeakaarr]

waste of time

[@ljdavid1133]

bro, u have something on your teeth

[@Gmdi2002]

You speak to much!😖
