Another great tutorial and an awsome shot. I enjoyed this almost as much as the totally rock’in wine photography tutorials you do. So many tip’s here I had to watch it three times in a row. Thanks Dustin.

[@workphlo]

Thank you Greg!

[@halsingebilder7735]

Hey Dustin ! Watched some of your vids ... actually - almost everyone ... and I really do like your style and the casual approach you come forward with. Unfotunately I'm not much for Facebook and such, so I won't see you there. But never the less, I have certainly subscribed to your channel. Lots and lots of product photography tips and tricks to pick up, even if you are (like me) on studio strobes. Doesn't really matter because all it's about is how you use the lights you have at your disposal. Looking forward to more of your vids.

[@workphlo]

Hey there, thanks for the kind words. Light is light, I couldn't agree more (-:

[@halsingebilder7735]

Ok ... I caved in on the Facebook thing - and joined the group .. :)

[@jaggercikke]

This is a wonderful simple tutorial, good job!

[@workphlo]

Glad you liked it

[@Splitleaf]

I always wondered how to achieve the spot colour without the colour bleeding into my label. Thanks for the advice Dusty!!

[@workphlo]

I too wondered how to capture this, since I always shot product photography with speedlights. There is a lot of great lighting gear/mods available these days!

Thanks Dustin ! Excited to see !

[@workphlo]

Always a pleasure to hear from you! You're welcome.

[@EagerMirza]

hey, great tutorial from workphlo, hands down, but how did you get that rich blue spot at the bottom of the product by throwing light directly to the wall ?

[@workphlo]

It is reflecting in the reflective plexiglas. I worked out the angle such that it places beneath the product.

[@henrikh2381]

Great content as allways , really appreciate your effort to make these videos, they are verry educational!

[@workphlo]

Thanks man, I really enjoy filming these

[@Hongs.average]

What I like about your video is that you can always turn something simple beautiful and classic. Very nice! And whole setup is within my budget, XD. Not mention a bonus with photoshop editing ! :D

Dustin, thanks again for sharing so much useful information, and articulated so well. Wish you had a course just on Photoshop, you make it look so easy. When I brush I get purple lines as it plays catchup and never looks like yours. :-).

[@cliffmello]

Great work! Can you do a tutorial on a water bottle or clear product with a clear label that’s see threw. I.e. Aquafina - little challenge maybe? Curious how you would approach it! Thanks

[@workphlo]

Definitely will approach that soon!

[@ДжонСмитт-д2ю]

Hey Dustin, Great video, as usual. Thanks for the explanation about how to mix 2 layers in lighting mode (I was wondering that too). Could you please answer here to my questions, they are very important for me: 1. Why are you using stripboxes instead of large square or rectangular softboxes? Are there any advantages for product photography using stripboxes or they are just more compact and easy to use? I already have flashes (still no batteries) and I will need to mix product photogtaphy with model photography fifty/fifty. Can I buy just a set of big softboxes for that? 2. What is the best direction of lighting to get the best product reflection on plexiglass? Should it be only one rear flash or rear and side flashes combo? Tnank you! Alex

[@workphlo]

Stripboxes are preferable for sometimes getting thin highlights, which can be tricky with a larger softbox. Plus the thin shape makes them easy to place in cozy schemes. I prefer a rear flash for a reflection, angled down towards the background such that it shows up in the surface. You can also use a flash light looking through your viewfinder, to find the magic location. Cheers

[@christopherstark6773]

So the spot is reflected off of the wall and onto the plexiglass? Never thought of that before. But recently purchased the Rogue gels and liked my limited results so far.

[@workphlo]

The angle of incidence is a beautiful thing. Thanks for watching Christopher

[@ВасилийНестеров-п9ь]

great work!!! waiting for new stuff!!!

[@workphlo]

Cheers, new video soon!

[@MikeT2410]

Always great videos. What do you think about magmod system for a beginner ? It is a bit expensive

[@workphlo]

I agree it is a bit pricey for the Magmod - but I do think it is an interesting system.

[@SuperLumberjock]

Now I know why your skin looks so silky smooth. I use Oil of Olay myself, I get a big tub from Costco and just go to town. lol How you doin brah? You make this shit look so easy.............just 2 Yongnuo speed lights. The results are splendid!!!!! as always.

I like to apply 3 tubs of this Nivea to my scalp before sleep. Thank you buddy, hope all is well and you're enjoying this summer.

[@workphlo]

Dustin* :) Thanks for watching John, I'm sorry I couldn't find the same arm link - but I know I got it off Amazon and I believe the brand is Newwer!

[@JohnDawson]

I've fixed the typo, sorry. :-/

[@workphlo]

@@JohnDawsonHaha no worries!

[@TheGuestQuest]

Amazing stuff as always! Does the ambient light in the room not bother the shot because you are at a F16+? Amazing how light it is in there and it does not come through in the shot - how many stops are you underexposed? Keep up the great work!!

[@workphlo]

Even at f/11 1/200th my ambient exposure is usually black surprisingly, the deeper apertures definately help too when it's bright in the room. Thanks!

[@DK88_Dominik_Adamczewski]

My first thought after seeing the miniature of this material was: "What a clever idea of using empty nivea box for storing the round colour gels" :D

[@workphlo]

oh my, I didn't think of that connection but now the thumbnail looks like that's the whole point of the video. :p

[@TaylorMadeMoment]

Hey Dustin, what do you have the plexi surface sitting on? Is it a table or a stand I cant really tell (trying to buy something like it off Amazon)

[@workphlo]

Hi Brandon, we use a custom solution - a metal plate welded to a nut. You can see it briefly at the end of our DIY Diffusion Panel Video. Google "Baby Wall Plate" for an alternative

[@TaylorMadeMoment]

Thanks Dustin! I found this on Amazon. Tell me what you think! www.amazon.com/Pro-Laptop-Projector-Stand-Adjustable/dp/B003GEKXRM/ref=sr_1_sc_15?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1536947813&sr=1-15-spell&keywords=cheap+lightstands

[@skanjilal2608]

Thanks! what is your camera, lens & the flash settings, finally

[@RealHankShill]

An easier way to select a color, is be in brush mode (B), and hold alt (I think), then the dropper will come up with a wheel around it. You can click and hold as you move the mouse around and see the color you are selecting. Makes things a little easier to see the color you are selecting and the previous color you had selected.

[@workphlo]

Great tips Logan! This shortcut seems to work sometimes for me, then other times it is stubborn

[@RealHankShill]

You have to be in brush mode (I think)

[@daisygarcia6668]

What is the thing that he uses to prop up the Nivea?

[@workphlo]

I am using a piece of wood

[@SmdphotographyCoUkPhotographer]

Great video. Really useful and concise information. Hey, I ordered my support plate yesterday so it's on its way to the UK. Do you hand deliver so we can grab a coffee and chat about lighting? :o)

[@workphlo]

Thank you for watching and ordering! I would love to hand deliver that!!! But I think it will be UPS Expedited for this one :)

[@GabrielMarigodeCastro]

Just a little tip to speed up a little the workflow: When you drag a layer to another file using the move tool, if you hold the shift key while doing it, the layer will be perfectly centered when you release the mouse button. No need to align using snap after.

[@workphlo]

Thanks for the tip!

[@mg_movealong438]

[@mg_movealong438]

@@workphlo You're welcome 👍

[@manfongieong9336]

what is that blue thing called for standing the product? Where can I get it?

[@workphlo]

Black plexiglass reflecting a blue spot. Amazon (link in description)

[@iWithinMe]

How come there is no light spill on bottom black plate keeping it pitch black, angle?

[@workphlo]

Yes, the angle we look at the product makes the plexiglas reflect a (very far distance away) wall. Since light power falls off exponentially, the distance is enough to render a black surface.

[@자시엘-l1s]

Anyone know what font is the “NIVEA” ?

[@workphlo]

Not sure! Hope you find it
