Shooting a Bottle with ONE Continuous Light and a Smartphone

[@serenoluismoreno]

One smartphone and one light… and 10 other accessories.

[@danieljohnberdadero6721]

[@kasidit0]

[@serenoluismoreno]

@@gorillagluinit lol

[@neb2612]

1 very large expensive light

[@allendegozaru2827]

haha

[@brandonrobinson1603]

Figandlight: "keep it simple" Also him: *immediately over complicates it*

[@saiyelave4588]

ikr

[@ezrarunnath9435]

Gotta get it to 10 minutes somehow

[@NotGeoWild_]

WAS HIGHLY CONFUSED

[@xXxhunniexXx]

Title was very clickbait

[@alexdekelbaum3349]

LOL

[@StackPH]

Placing the background at an angle to create a gradient is so great! Never thought of that!

[@qahtanrashid3280]

It's been a LONG TIME man, welcome back again.

[@hediehtdh7382]

Is this a joke? You have a lot of accessories which makes it really not that simple!?

[@lumilikha]

Glad you're back! I've watched a ton of food photography videos from more seasoned KZbinrs. Mostly, they tackle gear or tips, but none of them discuss light as much as you do. Keep up the great work!

[@francismelendez5596]

X2

[@figandlight]

Wow thank you Carlos! I appreciate that

[@pathfoto]

That lighting setup was dope.

[@laraklaas5920]

I was SO HAPPY you posted again. Love your videos, mate! Hope youre doing well? Sendng happy thoughts from germany.

[@muhibmashrurchowdhury393]

Welcome back. ❤️ Missed your videos a lot!

[@CM-hz5dp]

Omg welcome back!

[@chandrasekhar-travelandfoo1373]

I started food Photography last year around this time after watching your videos. Been a while indeed!

[@songseakleng]

Yayyyy, finally, you come back. Miss you and your video ❤️

[@junj2039]

Hey bro, what's up? Where have you been for so long time? Are you alright? We all missed you so much.

[@bkztudio2979]

ohhhh You're back Where have you been for long time?

[@aldireyhan5241]

Good to see you back bro!

[@kendidshoots]

It has been way tooooooooooo long

[@supriyagupta7619]

Glad to see you again. Looking forward to many more informative videos

[@KewalTravel]

This lighting was complicated enough for me to not understand 😂😂😂

[@ViniSimoni]

Great video, altough the "keep it simple" approach doesn't really match with the amount of things used to get the shot. But nevermind the final result was great!

[@MattAlexan]

If you are complaining about simplicity- just take your item out to the sunlight and evaluate what it looks like in those conditions!

[@trungduy3175]

My idol, thanks pro!

[@roneygeorge9835]

That was so useful man. Appreciate the efforts and happy to see more.

[@andreabonato1557]

Love this video!

[@bakerjay7857]

Please don't forget that we love you and your works. You gave us just not only lighting skills but also warm-hearted smile. Welcome back.

[@kerwinfernandes9583]

Great tips! Thanks and God bless! Hope your channel continues to grow. :)

[@peluso_palit]

Not only one light & smartphone. Background, tripod, etc... 😂😂😂

[@vlady0073]

I've discovered your channel i little while ago and was kinda sad when i found out you've stopped making videos. I'm happy to see you now though! Keep inspiring us! :)

[@HijabsandAprons]

UHM OMG??! You're back, and you hit the ground running. This was phenomenal and I appreciate the approach so much. I love that you gave us some insight into your inspiration and were so incredibly thorough in showing us the step by step process. I'm so happy to see you're back! 🙌🏼

[@figandlight]

Thanks Leena! Glad to be back and to hear this video helped. As always, I appreciate your continued support. I'm sure this goes for many people in this comment section as well 🙂

[@chrissyjames7711]

thing is many people try to skimp on the photography , most sites i visits , they think their products look ok with their phones but theres a massive difference from ok to amazing , around 30 -40 % in productivity .

[@suhail120]

Great video .... Can you do more like these as most people are starting off and don't have the best equipment

[@pedrohc99]

Oh God! I was so happy when I saw a notification of a new vídeo from you. I'm glad you're back and as I can see, it's not just me.

[@lilcaclo]

Lmao i just started opening the comments when he starts bustin out those accessories

[@jonathant1797]

Great tutorial. Can you recommend lighting setup if I need to take pictures of product with out any shadow and as detailed as possible across the subject facing the camera, and Minimal or no post involved? Thanks

[@djcric647]

I think that TikTOk guy didn't even think as much about it as you did 😂😂

[@figandlight]

haha I’m sure.

[@codforlife]

just have an entire studio full of professional grade equipment

[@DamirS2K]

Another thing you could do to make sure the photo is taken with no vibration is with using the time on the phone instead of just taking it immediately when pressing the button.

[@g.o.golife]

Omg! Where r you going? i miss you and waiting you somuch.

[@katherynyoung9923]

This is so super informative. Really great info, and a much deeper, but still quick understanding of lighting and set up. I see some people making comments about how you didn't JUST use your phone and an app, but I'd much rather have a more in-depth understanding of lighting and how things can be set up with different tools than to try and figure out why my dollar store equipment and phone camera aren't producing quality photos (been there for months). Having a better understanding of lighting in general in this sense is already helping understand where I've been going wrong, and I'm getting a better idea of what I can do with the means I have to get better product photos.

[@WhySteve]

Man, I came here because I am having a problem with reflections, CPL didn't work but I'll give that double diffusion a shot! Thanks :)

[@prtzy]

2 c stands, godox with softbox, v boards. Keep it simple. Kidding. Thanks for the great video sir!

[@ceceme952]

Lol so much for “keeping it simple”

[@sielsounds]

Love all of your explanation... but I literally have NONE of this gear LOL guess I'm going to have to get creative

[@passh9558]

Can I use ad200pro for that?

[@arete_]

"Shooting a bottle with ONE continuous light and a smartphone"... AND: - two saw horses - a surface - a Plexiglas - C-stand - Boom arm - Continous light - Godox SL60W - Strip box - Diffusing surface - Tripod - Tripod mount - V-flat - Smartphone with ISO settings at 100 "Don't make lighting setups more complicated than it needs to be"

[@bogdanpantelimon6854]

One continuous light and your smartphone? Your parents didn’t teach you not to lie??? There’s 1837382 other things there beside your smarphone and your light🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@tinderbox218]

Some very good instruction here! By the way, "ISO" is pronounced as a single word "EYE-so". Contrary to popular belief, it's not an abbreviation for anything.

[@busraatas6155]

What if we have just a camera and nothing else? Try to keep it both simple and professional that way if it is possible 🤬

[@deeltjesmar]

Hey Brandon Do you have a video in which you explain how to put something round on the photo, a lamp or something else that is round and works like a mirror and 360 degrees, you see everything? I hope you can help me? I want to photograph the ball of a gear lever for my son Thanks in advance greetings Marjolein (Netherlands) Ps clear nice videos

[@ricko13]

you guys just need to "keep it simple" just like Khaby Lame ** proceeds to over-complicate it **

[@corgikun2579]

Shooting a Bottle with ONE Continuous Light and a Smartphone (a very good and expensive one) + (expensive mounting rig and stands)

[@bookkeysuk]

Can you please tell, how do you shoot from the top? Like when cooking and the view is from the top, where do you place the camera? I'm not familiar with tech terminologies so please explain in plain words 🙈 thanks

[@figandlight]

I made a video showing a way you can do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5LQnptrnLGrqNU

[@Dreamtheory618]

How do you talk about "keeping it simple"... and the immediately become the over complicated person with the description... you became the people who make things more difficult

[@chrissyjames7711]

alot of people try to skimp on the photography and chuck an ok self taken picture out there to sell their product or service but the difference from ok to amazing is around 30 -40% productivity , most pictures taken on phone look way off to me ,too flat no sparkle .

[@mifik1158]

Very good tutorial on light but that title is a curveball. Just shooting on a smartphone doesn't make this a simple process. Anyone who has all that other stuff definitely has a decent camera. Saved by a good explanation of light and the impressive result.

[@RaphaelDourado02]

miss this quality so much hahah

[@LS-is5ob]

Nice cam you got:)! But your desk looks super uncomfortable too me with the it not being deep enough and so many monitors :D

[@wearekahu]

Thank you for this! Watching your videos from Myanmar while I learn to take pictures of my rattan products.

[@nikky4757]

I don't think that light setup is simple like you mention on the start of the video ,yes use one and smartphone but with a lot of other accessory .what I was expecting was few requirement to achieve the result .nice picture tho

[@MartinoTrost]

Hello , i like to make bottle shot with red wine bottle , i hire so many photograpfs who know less then me about how to do profesional shot , i had my budy who help me but he is move back to Italy now i try by my self , very helpefull video but i am still to green to do your way , do you have diferent tutorial for red wine bottle shot , will be good , thank you again is great start for me Martino

[@adilzade3022]

New title: Shooting a Bottle with ONE Continuous Light and a Smartphone and 15 other things. great video tho.

[@redstyle821]

Did anyone tell you that you look like the Duke of Hastings of the Netflix series Bridgerton? 😂 Love your videos Brandon!

[@iangrogan5261]

If you’re using a 10 second timer….could’ve just used your lowest iso 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ammar-akram]

Seriously? I thought you were showing us the opposite of what we call simple! very infortmative tho, no simple!

[@michaelhirt3915]

wasnt the video about "keep it simple"?. Sry but for me i dont have all the gear. Got a phone and a foto-box

[@thienlucnguyentruong9539]

What is app, pls? Sir

[@FoxyCanDoIt]

This is dumb, Why use an Iphone and then grab like $600 of equipment xd

[@mjolninja9358]

Your professional Photographer instincts made you use these equipments that aren’t accessible to normal folk, It would’ve been better if you’ve used the everyday simple stuff that also acts the same way as the equipments you’ve used in order to achieve the Photo that you want.

[@Kuppusawmy]

How not to be simple you showed Where the simple way , is that coming in part 2🤔🤔🤔

[@TheUniverseEZvideo]

My respects!

[@imaanhanif8863]

Hi great vid as usual! The large V flat link doesn't seem to be working? I'm based in UK not sure if that's why. It directs me to old music records... Thank you

[@figandlight]

Thank you Imaan! Try searching for "V-flat world" in amazon. If not, you could visit their website "vflatworld.com".

[@defyingtheodds1987]

Ehhh maybe this is " Simple" Relevant to other methods, but it still seems a bit convoluted.

[@apalah8422]

3:21 what is the name of the table if I search the internet, i wanna buy

[@katrinalynn5198]

Could you not have set the timer to be able to reduce the shutter speed? Therefore keep ISO low?

[@sergeyn2310]

I would recommend you research fast hair growth shampoo to double hair growth.

[@MultiHurtem]

EXTREMELY misleading title but the tips were still helpful.

[@alexeikuzmin8784]

not so "simple", lot's of equipment needed. the beginners don't have 2 c-stands and other things and will look for simplier way to get this image done.

[@figandlight]

I was waiting for someone to point this out and I would agree, but I have a question: does “keeping it simple” always have to refer to gear or equipment? I’m asking sincerely

[@swehlainghnin1464]

If we can afford all that we wouldn't be shooting with smartphone ain't it?

[@thatsginter]

Glad you are back! We all have lives outside of youtube. You do you, hope all is well. Looking forward to more inspiration and knowledge!

[@dztryr]

"Keep it simple" (Adds a bunch of accessories) Yeah.

[@angusgluck4173]

I’m having trouble finding the app, can someone link it please

[@caprelomakeover1591]

Very complicated for who just want to take a good simple photo with their phone

[@seblling]

bro thinks he DaVinci of photography - "ill keep it simple"

[@FrankNazario]

simplicity... ok

[@fredtotherick]

One continuous light, an iPhone and a v flat which I've never even heard of

[@MrBiswas123]

Your content is very simple and soothing.Not an easy task though ...I really appreciate!

[@diegodiazduran9540]

[@shrimayshukla9293]

[@fireballfireball7573]

[@luizakatz]

There’s always something new to learn from your videos and that’s what makes your channel so valuable. I appreciate a lot your content here, the way you teach us is understandable and unique. I never get tired of watching it. I’m happy you’re back.

[@figandlight]

Thanks man! Appreciate it

5 minutes in and I can't tell whether this is parody or not..

[@DimplePoji]

You're back!!!! Where's my notification youtube!!

[@beeJhecute]

Why do I feel like you're trying to get Erwan's tone. 😅

[@apalah8422]

bro pls tell me, 3:21 what is the name of the table if I search the internet, i wanna buy .. thanks brother 🙏👍

[@figandlight]

I used a custom surface made by @hijabsandaprons. She has a video that shows how to make one of these surfaces: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nomai4mFbL6Fbqc

[@HarshvardhanSaboo]

Just an amazing person. He is my all-time favourite mentor. Perfect timing of coming back. Learning a lot from you and would love to learn a lot more.

[@bors06]

finally! ive been waiting for your latest upload. :) its been a long time.

[@bors06]

lets not skip the ads to support our idol

[@rahulkurmi201]

Please say what you are using in the background what it is called

[@EstewCA]

I thought this was going to be a shoestring budget hack.

[@banchik]

If this is simple then I don’t know what is the “not” simple method is.

[@rerikm]

this video reminded me of those Apple Ads where they showcase their phone camera trying to get people excited about taking professional photos with just an IPhone. in reality they were experienced photographers using cranes mounted on trucks with stabilisers and professional lighting equipment all around. thanks for the effort though.

[@WTFENIGMA]

Thank for the 3000$ cheap simple hack
