Watching your videos I feel as if I am sneaking into a paid photography course. No doubt some of the best I have found. Your teaching method is superb, thank you for elevating my ability.

[@FourBricksTall]

Thanks so much for watching and I'm so happy to read your comment. I spend a lot of time on my videos trying to make them tight but clear. It may be one reason why it takes me so long to get around making them 😆

[@eightysixedreviews]

High production quality, informative and very easy to understand for all levels. I really enjoy your content. This channel is gem!

[@FourBricksTall]

Thanks a lot for watching my videos!

[@curtaceous]

this is so great, no 20 minute rambling, straigt to the point and very informative. Thank you for making these tutorials they”re the absolute best 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@FourBricksTall]

Thanks! I like being concise and totally agree there's too much rambling in lots of tutorials.

[@jananlee]

Great tutorial and I like how you compared the different outcomes with the different light sources. I usually use an led lamp but this has made me think about taking out my old flash to experiment with.

[@FourBricksTall]

Yes! I would love to chat with more strobists!

[@angeljavier1754]

[@kavoovak6646]

The mist machine is a great idea!

[@chrisgilbey8107]

Love this

[@j.c.mimoso8408]

Great explanation. I use a portable nebulizer for 2-3 months ago and I am very happy with the results (I don't smoke and I dont like using a vap even without nicotine). Thanks for your ideas. I will try to put in practice for sure!

[@FourBricksTall]

Thanks! There are a number of atmospheric effects you can achieve without any special gear. I've used several common things that I'll cover in a future video. But in general, you can use anything that mists, steams, or sprays.

[@BrickBroadcasting]

Great!!

[@Gillan1220]

Thank you!!

[@birdie399]

I’ve been trying to create atmosphere or fog/smoke for a long time. Now I’ve ordered the mister thanks to your great idea. Very interesting video, thanks.

[@Dogdogdoga]

Thank you

[@la5ell]

Just the tutorial I need for my project this weekend....Thank you for you videos. :)

[@RetrOrigin]

Thank you for showing that nano-mister in action for toy photography. I see a lot of toy photographers using Atmosphere Aerosol which looks great but as someone who does this as a hobby I would rather not spend on that kind of product and instead will use a nano-mister. All of your videos are pure gold!

[@FourBricksTall]

Thanks! Also Atmosphere Aerosol leaves an oily residue behind. You don't really want that on your toys or camera.

[@twiztedrazor8088]

Thank you for explaining how to do things like this realy helpfull

[@FourBricksTall]

You're welcome!

[@angchengann5037]

Thanks for demistying this!

[@FourBricksTall]

There's a pun in here 😁

[@keithfisher624]

Very useful. Need to get working on some rainy city shots.

[@CharlesPalmerPhotography]

I bought a similar facial mister for one of my projects and broke it trying to get the LED light out lol. Great tips 👍

[@FourBricksTall]

I just ordered a second set of black ones so maybe I'll do a quick video about how not to break it when removing the LED 😆

[@astridheyland8862]

Anna, I looked at it twice. A really great video, very informative and I'm really surprised that you took the photo in daylight 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FourBricksTall]

Thanks! Flash can kill the ambient light. One of the big advantages of shooting with flash over LED. 😉

[@astridheyland8862]

Four Bricks Tall I don’t have a flash but it’s an amazing tool

[@zindo3059]

love ur tutorial!!!! greetings from Italy!

[@FourBricksTall]

Thank you!

[@leadoyen9842]

Hi ! Your videos are so good ! I am learning a lot watching them 😊 Quick question, where could I find some background like yours (I don't know what to type to search). Thank you ! Really love your work 😊😊

[@FourBricksTall]

Look for photo backgrounds for flat lay or product photography. You can also find them on Amazon.

[@kavinduilleperuma9782]

Thank you so much I really wanted to know how to create some smoke

[@kickabrick2257]

I'm officially jealous lol 😒 Ok fr tho, those shots were amazing!

[@klezia61_]

What is that thing in the background with the mist

[@zoubida00001]

Sorry for my english ^^ your video are amazing and very interesting

[@FourBricksTall]

Thank you! I hope it was easy enough for you to understand. I tend to talk fast.

[@MB-gg6rr]

What shutter speed do you recommend for smoke so that the smoke is sharp?

[@FourBricksTall]

Flash to freeze anything. Shutter speed depends on the speed the objects are moving and how much light you have. So, trial and error.
