Free tip: mix the water in the spray with glycerine. Just 50/50 It will stick the water drops on the product. It's a better look and keeps you paper dry. Nice video. Thanks

[@ChrisPieta]

I’ll try it out!

[@simoneshootsproducts4843]

I’m a photographer that’s diving into product photography as my main photography niche and I’m loving these videos! Thank you for all the helpful videos you do Chris, you’re awesome 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@ChrisPieta]

really appreciate the kind words! Wishing you the best Simone!

[@laynieree4536]

Love your teaching style, Chris.

[@DanielFercaeta]

a liltte tip, try using a strip box instead of an octobox, it will make the reflections look nicer to the shape of the can

[@ChrisPieta]

Indeed! Good option

[@isabel7_7]

Thank you so much! I am a GCSE student taking photography and I am also considering becoming a UGC creator in the future. This video is so helpful in giving tips, revealing the layout of what a shoot would look like and more. :)

[@ChrisPieta]

Excited to hear that

[@julialincoln-stefan1066]

I really appreciate your content and your style, and I hope you come back to making more of this great content. Very approachable, clear, good to watch. Thanks!

[@Ileanapros]

Chris, are you able to make a tutorial for something more rudimentary. More on the budget end? Say someone only has their phone, using smaller equipment, any recommendations for budget lights, that rod setup you're using to hang your backgrounds etc? Say under 50 bucks or so?

[@LisaSaliture]

So my products thus far are white and then I have some rustic tin containers for my candles as well. My theme is farmhouse Rustic but I have no idea what colors to use for the photography backdrops. I don’t have any other brand colors chosen yet so do you have any suggestions as to what I could use to keep this in a shabby rustic farmhouse feel for photography?

[@kantidhiman]

Hey ! It's really amazing in the way you presenting your videos . Whenever i came to your Chanel I learnt and know about many things. I started watching your videos Very recent ❤️

[@timtaylorphotovideo6144]

I would like to see a Photoshop/Lightroom tutorial on how you get rid of reflections and specular highlights. Some stuff you just can’t fix in camera.

[@ChrisPieta]

Noted! I’ll add it to my list of videos

[@photorockbar471]

reflections can be controlled more with a light blocker called a gobo

[@roxanastoica2551]

Your videos are really good, both for their content and the patient and detailed delivery 😎 thank you!

[@ChrisPieta]

I appreciate you saying that Roxana! I'm a really detail oriented person (product photography requires it!)

[@kitchenswitch3626]

Hey! Thank you for the info, incredible production value btw. 🙌 Which camera would you recommend for a beginner with a tight budget?

I am coming from food photography and first time to see product photography videos I am trying to learn from you But I have q question How shooting from front and above even side front not side back And still maintain 3d dimensions

[@DharmishthaGelda-bf5or]

Such an amazing video. Do you have a tutorial on the hand coming out of the paper backdrop shot?

[@AlpArslanTheSeljuk]

Great video Chris thanks! Is it necessary for me to use Lightroom or couldn't I do the same job wot camera raw in Photoshop?

[@ChrisPieta]

Thanks for watching - photoshop works great too

[@claudiomarionyc]

Chris I love your videos. Easy to understand and as someone getting started so valuable. Question. Did you use a polarized filter or nd filter here and what strobe light were you using?

[@ChrisPieta]

Hey! Thanks for the comment. No filter although a lot of photographers do use polarized filters for products. I use a godox 400 pro strobe

[@claudiomarionyc]

[@pencilcase3192]

Chris , I was wondering if I can take pictures for my clothing brand using those colorful backgrounds or just with white background ?

[@mccuenoirfilms]

Great tips! Next time, I would suggest using white or black foamcore boards on the sides of the product to help with reflections. ✌🏼

[@ChrisPieta]

For sure!

[@WellsCreativeServices]

Very nice video!!!! May I ask which Picture Profile on your Sony camera do you tend to lean more towards to shoot your projects? Your video is the only one I came across for products and it not being Canon based.

[@ChrisPieta]

For photos I shoot raw so profile doesn’t matter, for video it’s PP1 and then I color correct

[@CuratedbyVaro]

hi Chris, i wanted to know why should we took the shots in higher shutter speed? what's the difference does it make if we took a still product? Thanks in Advance!

[@ChrisPieta]

Hi Alvaro, good question. If the product and tripod is still you can get away with lower shutter speeds like 1/60 or 1/125. I tend to take the camera off the tripod and move it around so I wouldn't want any camera shake to appear in the final shot

[@CuratedbyVaro]

@@ChrisPieta Thanks a lot Chris! 🙌🏻

[@oddmrwilliams5594]

This is such a great video!! thank you so much for this! Really inspiring!! I was just wondering what size is the paper backdrops your using and where can you pick them up from? I only seem to be able to find the larger options 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Waqas_Q_]

Great video. Can I ask what company makes that colour checker on the wall and would you recommend it for video edits and true colours?

[@ChrisPieta]

It's made by x rite. I used it a few times and now it just hangs on my wall lol. Accurate colors are important, but if you have a color accurate screen and a good eye, you're 98% of the way there.

[@Waqas_Q_]

where are you located. Are you in LA by any chance

[@sunrise_sunshine]

For product photography which lens should I consider to buy… I’ve Nikon Z6ii with 24-70 F4 lens. But I’m thinking of 105 Macro S lens and also 50 1.8 S lens. Any suggestions ?

[@ChrisPieta]

The 50 1.8 will be a great lens and is really versatile for product photography. But you also already have that focal length from your 24-70. I would look into the lens quality differences. The macro will give you more creative options

[@sunrise_sunshine]

@@ChrisPieta ok thank you.

[@EmilyRad]

Can you share which color back drops you have/ recommend ?

[@ChrisPieta]

It's hard to recommend exact ones since everyone's needs are different. I would definitely get a light blue, white, and tan and go from there!

How do you get a bottle look symmetrical if it's shot a little crooked though?

[@ChrisPieta]

It's a fine balance between angle of shooting and composition. Takes some practice. Sometimes if it's a straight on shot you can use the Transform tool in lightroom to fix irregularities.

what are the camera settings you use before you edit the raw shot ?
