Behind The Scenes on a Food Photography Photoshoot

[@yohannaftali2480]

Scott you're so kind, showing all your set up & workflow... This video is so valuable for beginner food photographer like me... Tbh i almost watch all your youtube vid from the begining 😀 thank you for your hardwork create valuable video content like this... I hope your voice get recover quickly 😀

[@varunjoel3281]

As a photographer, these are exactly the kind of videos I hunt for on KZbin. Thanks Scott!

[@varunjoel3281]

Sscott I recognise these shots from your portfolio. Just realised this is a 3 year old video! I had a question. This being a personal project for you, meaning you don't have a client paying for it, does your food stylist charge their full rates? Or do they accomodate for personal projects? Thanks!

[@alex199273]

Again Scott, thank you for opening the world to us. These are the insights we never get to see from any other KZbin channel, even from the “best photographers”. You don’t know how much your videos have helped me throughout these past few weeks. I was able to get three gigs back to back, one of them involving BMW! Still, food photography is where my heart is at and this is simply beyond priceless.

[@caliv0608]

Pretty ticked with KZbin right now that I've typed "food photography" in the search so many times over the last few months and this is the first time your channel has popped up. It's pretty much everything I've been looking for. Can't wait to go through your other videos!

[@keithmindham6335]

Hi, at last someone who has a pro photographers perspective on the real world of commercial photography, thank you. Keith.

[@chanellesinclair9396]

This was so incredibly inspiring and helpful. I am halfway through setting up my own studio in my casita behind my home (rather than my dining room), and I just love seeing the workflow of fellow creatives!! Thank you so much for generously sharing your process and talents✨

[@mehmetyilmazer]

Glad I found your channel. Binge watching now, thanks and hope you the best!!!

[@StanleyVB_20]

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Excellent skills and delivery as well. Obviously I love your photography.

[@jayjackson5122]

Fantastic video! Really insightful into every aspect of what made the shoot. It's really cool being able to see all the tips you have given in previous videos come together in a very practical way, thank you.

[@angelao]

This is a great video! I love that you also use the TSE lenses in your kit - I hardly see anyone mention them. I have the 24, 50 and 90 - they're so invaluable; esp. for food!

[@josepereda7412]

Really like that hamb ripping off the paper

[@Tiffinandtea]

Fave vid so far 👌 Learnt so much. Rewatching later so i can take notes. Thankyou for your detailed video. This is like free mentoring and so bloody useful.

[@Amills50]

By far my favorite video of yours so far, I'd love to see more like it

[@techassyst]

So kind of you going to this much effort to show us a shoot, it was a bit of an eyeopener to see how much work is involved funny I thought the last burger shot was amazing that harsh light to develop the glistening speculars on the meat was inspired I hope you didnt need to throw all of it away the burger especially looked scrummy all in all a fantastic video showing us a window on your professional life many thanks

[@FuegoPazzo]

This was so good. I like seeing how the scenes are set up, so I can try them myself. I also liked the business information, which I hope to make use of in the future. I learn so much from you. Ta very much

[@kingmuhu]

How do you make it look so clean in post. Specialy the pop art fries shot. All the wrinkles in the paper are gone in the final shot and it looks so seamless.

[@sumisiddiqa5343]

THIS IS SUCH QUALITY CONTENT!!! thank you

[@itzamna3080]

I loved they video, not many photographers shows you how much effort is put into a single shoot, and it's critical to understand that, specially for people who think that with one or two shots they're donne for the day. I don't mind the length of the video, as long as you show how it is, exceptional video, I could watch the full day of shooting if you streamed it haha.

[@carlomarchi8611]

Thanks as usual to share your BTS and your approach on concept and how to carry out idea behind👏🏻 very helpful content..one question: where do you buy backdrop? It seems so real. Thanks🙏

[@MiguelACoronaDM]

Enjoyed viewing. Thanks for the insights Scott.

[@meleika8274]

Totally newbie question here and maybe its a stupid one but I'm watching this and thinming... if the backgrounds are paper.... how do we avoid grease from the food from ruining the paper... or?? is that typically an issue? This vid is awesome by the way

[@DadandtheLad]

This format is great, mate! Really insightful and informative.. more like this for sure! P.S. The clouds in that timelapse were epic!

[@chriswilson5174]

love this content, great to see the setup, the thinking behind it, techniques and the food styling tips are priceless (steaming, cotton wool to hold chips lol damn) in the summary it would be great to see the final hi res shots you got from each setup, not sure if you don't do it to encourage viewers to head to insta but would be nice to see the end to end of the project

[@Panoramicperceptioncom]

where do you get your backgrounds? they are amazings

[@jbkawaiiholic]

Wow just found your channel! Seriously great for beginners looking for tips!! Thanks

[@CookWildtv]

Great video. That timelapse at 12:40 with the sky is sweet.

[@youtubeaddict1]

Did u need to focus stack the last shot?

[@ba553y]

Yes! Now you've got me subscribed. Worth it! Thanks

[@jaguarjj]

wonderful work, thanks for sharing; however I am not so great in English, May I ask how was the lighting for the shot at 12:26? I am not sure if you only used the softbox, or the head with the deep reflector, or both together? sorry if that sounds dumb

[@stevekdigitalworx]

Hey Scott, good video. When it's just a test shoot, where do you draw your inspiration from for each picture? Also, since you have a dedicated stylist, can you do an interview style video with her and get a point of view from the stylist on a shoot? Like her expectations of the photographer, and what she's expecting out of us?

[@krystiankrzewinski]

I love it, incredible pictures.

[@othellobanaci]

Thanks for the insight. What type of backgrounds where those?

[@markshirley01]

Hi at the begining of the video - you show a background panel - where do you buy them from.

[@rnursemd]

OH WOW! I didn't think you guys were actually going to cook the burger!! I thought this stuff was supplied by the client! Nice!

[@improbablehandle]

Great vid! Noob question re flatlays: how does one align a camera so that its lens points precisely perpendicular to the subject plane? (Copy-stand fashion, but without a copy-stand :-D.) My efforts too often result in some sort of skew.

[@improbablehandle]

@@TinHouseStudioUK Thanks! I'll try that.

[@janvu]

Man! This was such a good one!

[@hafiz2664]

Very interesting content. For the final burger shot, I would like to know how each light worked and looked before it came together in the final piece. I like how you described and showed how the gridded light affects the image but would've also wanted to see 1 by 1 one how each light, lights the image.

[@rudeboycg]

This was great BTS

[@GeorgeLoch]

What's in your styling kit?

[@GabeRodriiguez]

Super insightful! Great tips 👍🏼

[@shark235235]

Scott, how do you go about avoiding color cast on the food when using colored backdrops like these? I'm just getting into studio food photography, and this has been a real struggle!

[@shark235235]

@@TinHouseStudioUK Thanks Scott! Keep putting out great work :)

[@markshirley01]

Hi thanks for the great content - nice to see a working professional give such good advice - 2:02 who do you recommend for photo backgrounds - I've looked at few but heard mixed reviews.

[@RussellBCaC]

cracking video, really interesting!

[@smepable]

Thanks for taking the time, very interesting Video. I missed it to see a more wide angle showing the total setup of lights in relation to the food. Try a zoom lens to be more flexible next time. Also I would have liked the stylist talk about the burger styling, a bit of food styling practises.

[@piotrdziurewicz1995]

I'm so hungry now omg 😄

[@piotrdziurewicz1995]

Great video! Thank you!

[@charlesmann7718]

I noticed your stylist had used a lemon, can you let us know what she used it for?

[@LukaTWP]

Hi Scott, kind of you to share this video. Would you be kind enough to tell me what brand of c-stands you use ? I'm based in Italy. Thanks :)

[@rauleduardo85]

At 12:50, I thought you we're rapping lol. Great video, by the way.

[@counterkwa]

MY GOAL AND DREAM IS TO HAVE A STUDIO LIKE THIS!!!

[@amasia48]

Would love to learn a lil bit about how you edit your photos!

[@kenlor71]

He doesn't. He hires a pro retoucher.

[@smepable]

Another Video topic I would like to see is: how does it FEEL to be you? You are a top notch commercial photographer, but you often mention to be sleep deprived or having phases of high stress. Doesnt your experience make you calmer? Is your work satisfying for you, or do you still think of all the things that could have looked more perfect? Etc

[@johnriper4416]

This was really interesting!

[@DanAndreiKluska]

Great video! A very useful source of information (especially on the lighting how to side). I find the music too loud between the passages. Otherwise a great video! Thank you!

[@DanAndreiKluska]

@@TinHouseStudioUK when you talk is ok. In between is too loud. Also, you can work on passing from music to speech, sometimes the volume gets to slow down...

[@davidbailey4976]

Great vid. Scott but the muzac is too dominant and thus annoying. Volume down by 50% would work better. Much appreciated!

[@stevekdigitalworx]

I'm listening with noise cancelling headphones and the music levels are fine. The only time I personally don't like music in a video is when the levels are all over the place and I have to keep raising and lowering the volume. Not the case here.

[@davidbailey4976]

Hi Scott. The sound levels are too high during the food prep sections and drop dramatically when you voice cuts back in - otherwise you'd be drowned out. Just a little too intrusive. Your style is such that you don't need music. Thanks for taking the time to respond. David

[@PlantCraft]

was she melting cheese with a steamer?

[@whileriding]

I'd like to use that floor as a background

[@TurboMiniTV]

mmmmmmmm, steamed cheese

[@johnmcard3116]

I love your work but I gotta say video ain't your forté huh xD The parts where you were hand holding the camera were incredible difficult to watch, for me anyway, because of how close up the shots were. Perhaps you didn't have a wide zoom to hand but it definately had an affect on my watch time - great video though love your stuff man you didn't lose a sub today that's for sure xox

[@stockimagecanvas1643]

Great job but unfortunately stock image kills photographers That you spent one full day for three images shot only these days unfortunately in the stock images website anyone can get these kind images for less then £1 I am sorry to say but that is the fact

[@christiankirkenes5922]

How on earth did you manage to get a licence for butter knives?

[@FabrizioZago]

Interesting backstage and interesting channel, subscribed.

[@suejovers30]

I love your video and l thank you for sharing. However, the 'music' in the background was so distracting that l couldn't watch the video to the end. It was at a level that made you struggle to hear it, giving it the main focus of your attention. It was also very uncomfortable to listen to in terms of tone, l found it very jarring and unpleasant. I hope you don't mind me providing this feedback, nothing personal at all. Smiles, Sue

[@peterbarbusin1749]

Not for nothing, but you don't know what your shooting the day before the shot. I watched about a minute of the clip before I stopped it. Personally, I didn't believe you after hearing this and stopped watching.

[@TinHouseStudioUK]

Pretty common (for me at least) On Sunday I didn't know whatrwe were shooting even when the stylist was turning up. Obviously not for work, but when testing we just go in with a vague plan and see what happens.
