[@workphlo]

Thank you! I am working hard to make it happen. Spread the word!

[@Curse_of_the_moon]

This is an amazing tutorial. Easy to replicate, you’re taking at a rate that allows the listener to absorb the material and most of all the results are fantastic. Great work

[@workphlo]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the commentary :) I appreciate it

[@alecubudulecu]

how are you holding / balancing the tray/plexiglass? I figure it's a lightstand tray... but... what are they called exactly? (when I google it I get a million results that aren't... that)

[@workphlo]

I had to custom weld mine, and now we are selling them! Stay tuned

[@LeBroVibez]

man you're both a great photographer and youtuber! Thank you, you're work is very appreciated!

[@workphlo]

Thanks Abbas

[@chrisyoung1551]

hey，Can i ask a question the room was bright when shooting,but why the photography were dark tone （I'm a novice：））

[@workphlo]

If I turned my flash off the room is BLACK dslr so the light isn't effecting what you are seeing. My flash is 100% the light source

[@BrunoRBSilva-fh9rw]

Great as always ! One of the things that I see begginers struggling are the highlight position and diffusion, and here you demonstrated it very well!

[@workphlo]

Thanks Bruno, it took me a while to get a handle on highlights and diffusion. Glad you commented bud take care

[@BeyondPhotography]

hi!! wich fake ice cubes you recomend?? have a link? thanks!!

[@workphlo]

I don't at the moment!

[@dangerruss5]

I love everything you do on this channel but SERIOUS respect for clarifying the perspective differences being caused by the camera position instead of the focal length. Love the level of knowledge you consistently communicate in simple and effective ways.

[@workphlo]

Thanks!! No prob

[@therealroblay2617]

Hey what holder are you using to the plexiglass base?

[@workphlo]

workphlo.shop/s We weld these locally and proceeds support these free tutorials. Enjoy! 👍

[@microtasker]

That shot looks like it came straight out of a 1970's Playboy ad. High praise.

[@oouje]

Very nice tutorial! But i suggest you adding the noise when you finish with the transformation adjustments, if you add the noise right when you start, then stretching certain parts of the image will cause the noise to stretch, too. That can look a little weird when the noise is noticeable.

[@workphlo]

Good point cheers

[@BeyondPhotography]

and happy new year, sifoo Dustin

[@workphlo]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 💙

[@stevebuissinne530]

I was very interested to learn how you prevented the 'unruly' highlights. The whole video is great but this was an important revelation to me. Thank you.

[@workphlo]

I changed my settings, such that the ambient light was effectively black in my exposure!

[@jamesmccowan]

I have been looking for good quality acrylic base for a while but have been struggling to come across a good source to order from as I live in Portugal. do you know any good reliable online store I could order this from? the shipment and duty fees will make ordering from the site you recommended quite expensive.

[@feeltheeffect85]

Best channel. Thanks for the tutorials, cheers from Australia!

[@24lanrak]

Sorry, I don't understand. How do you get a black background if there is a lot of light in the room? Is it because of high f and low iso?

[@workphlo]

Without flash the room is black in camera settings. So the flash is the only light source, it is rendering what you are seeing.

[@24lanrak]

@@workphlo Oh ok I get it. I have to try it once because the results are amazing

[@workphlo]

[@sattuu108]

which camera is thAt

[@workphlo]

Says at the end slate

[@angelohaak3312]

Can this work with a 1 light setup? Hahahaha spent all my cash on a strobe instead of buying 2 speed light

[@workphlo]

Yes it can work with 1 light, without a splash. You could theoretically take the first image with a backlight, then grab the backlight and use it to create a gradient. Then combine the layers in Photoshop with "lighten" blending mode. Best of luck!

[@Valtrach]

Great video. Top of the line tutorial. Thank you for your time and work. Thumb up and subscribed.

[@workphlo]

Thank you Gilbert, make sure to check out our other installments.

[@SeanLukeBanjo]

How do you connect your plexiglass to the tripod? I’ve been trying to find a solution to this since watching your videos and can’t

[@workphlo]

HI there, we created our own solution you can order here workphlo.shop

[@justsuperjl]

Thanks for your videos! May I ask, is there a downside to getting a taller strip box? The one you in your link is 36" and I see some products go up to 63". Would those be overkill or have a negative effect on the shot?

[@workphlo]

I find the 36" PERFECT, unless your products is taller than 36". Though, anything will work! The tall ones would be cool for lighting tall objects and even humans with nice strip lighting, which the 36" would be too short for fully. Best of luck! Make sure to check out our product photography tools at workphlo.shop

[@rubendE]

Thanks. Some great content. Please, what do you use to attach the plexiglass to the lightstand?

[@workphlo]

Hi Ruben, I custom welded this but stay tuned for a shoppable solution.

[@galengrippo3789]

im a glass blower and just bought a a7iii and not sure what lens to get any help would be greatly apperciated

[@workphlo]

I use a kit lens 18-105 mm. The "standard" broad lens for that will work beautiful.

[@Photoid01]

Another great tutorial. Quick paced. Well organized. Lots of little but useful tips. Your videos inspire me to get downstairs more often and shoot stuff. When you're retired, you tend to get lazy sometimes.

[@workphlo]

Thanks for sharing the bit about retirement, I look forward to it! Haha, thanks for watching our videos.

[@DADT12]

Love your videos. They are very informative and inspirational. This glass came out perfect. I make custom cutting and charcuterie boards and I want to be a level above all others. I would love to see you photograph one or if you could give lighting ideas that would be great. I have a vision of my boards with a wine glass, cheese and salami. Thank you

[@workphlo]

Wonderful! You should send me a drawing [e-mail] I could help

[@workphlo]

Good luck!!

[@nomadicsoulart]

Great stuff mate . One question can 40 inch Octabox be used instead of strip box ?

[@workphlo]

Yes you can use an Octabox! But the shape won't be as "linear" if the highlight is ugly, consider blocking off two trapezoides on the side of the octabox such that you leave a stripbox "window" with black constriction paper or garbage bag. Cheers! You should subscribe buddy!

[@calmetosis]

Never would've thought about this trick to eliminate all the ambient light. Brilitant!

[@workphlo]

Yes! Thanks for watching

[@detaildz]

Great videos, easy to understand. Question, why do you use speed light instead of continuous light with your soft box? Bob

[@workphlo]

Good question! Speedlights are a cheap source of light, battery powered and have good motion freezing capability. So I use them in all my general work. Cheers

[@AlphaBaby1983]

Cool video brother. Ya taught me a thing or two about glassware photography. So, many thanks and keep up the great work. Cheers!

[@sabinanabiullina696]

Hi😌 I am wondering which lenses you use?!

[@workphlo]

Love me the 18-105 kit lens

[@fatheadmediapro]

This is great. Thanks. I do have a question. What is the benefit of using flash vs just having the light on constantly for easier adjustments?

[@workphlo]

Flashes have brief durations, making them ideal for freezing motion. They also are pretty light-weight when they have batteries and don't need charged often, so it is a technical decision. Both work fine!

[@rudyrodriguezjr.]

Wow great video on lighting! Thanks!

Awesome tutorial. Something I'd suggest is adding the noise as the topmost layer so the noise doesn't get stretched when you're doing the Marquee + Transform trick. I like to add a 50% Gray layer, set it to Soft Light, and then add the Noise filter. Keeps it consistent and non-destructive and also you don't have to worry about the noise stretching when making those types of adjustments.
