How NOT to do FOOD Photography!

[@djtoman6875]

Very interesting layering of light and objects. And what a charming guest Catarina was. Now she’s my favorite subscriber, too!

[@botvidsson]

Great! ;)

[@koinguyenphoto]

I really love this style of video! Candid and informative, because it gives the feeling of guiding in the best way!

[@botvidsson]

Awesome, thank you!

[@FrankPietersen]

Mycket Bra! I really like the way you do your videos. Thanks!

[@botvidsson]

I appreciate that! Thanks mate

[@michaelfireborn7217]

Classic BOT action. I love this video, thanks for sharing.

[@botvidsson]

Thanks. It's an early one. Had 100 subscribers then... I was so happy 😁

[@deadwood1887]

Tack. You have given me "food for thought" for still life photography.

[@botvidsson]

👍🏻

[@Hongs.average]

Great video and I've enjoyed Catarina's questions and thoughts because they would be my questions too; and you can see she is really learning here! :) Good sub's choice, it's a simple cabbage but full of potential for a dramatic look. Nice effort on the 'throwing everything in' and 'sorting them out nicely on table to go with cabbage'!

[@botvidsson]

Yes, I like when the subscriber ask a lot of questions, those videos turn out to be the best I think. Thanks for the support Hongs!

[@AhsanKhan-gc8lk]

you are an amazing teacher, the way you have been explaining things is so fascinating that students interest is develope and wants to learn more and more, great

[@botvidsson]

Wow, thank you! That's really nice to hear.

[@ThePeasantsDaughter]

Incredibly useful. I love tutorial videos in this style, showing the process and thought behind it all. Thank you!

[@botvidsson]

The Peasant’s Daughter Very happy to hear that. Thanks!

[@mikehiga123]

Thank you. It was really interesting to see now you build everything in small increments.

Thanks Michael! :)

[@MorningCoffeeDaily]

Awesome video!! What and how do you tether your camera to Computer? Wired or Wireless and what software? Cheers!!

[@botvidsson]

Wired into CaptureOne with Canon and Focus with Hasselblad. Sometimes I use Lightroom. In this video I might have used Canon software EOS Utility.

[@MorningCoffeeDaily]

[@RBztudio]

Great one mate...😁👏 Quick one what's the of that device throw smoke ????

[@botvidsson]

Thanks. It's just a simple smoke machine for approx $50 (Swedish store: www.kjell.com/se/produkter/hem-kontor-fritid/party-karaoke/rokmaskiner/rokmaskin-400-w-p22223)

[@RBztudio]

@@botvidsson I love your style mate , most on food photography 😍😍, I'm just starting myself in that food photography world , I'm chef and also I've always been landscape photographer , I saw your equipment and those powerful and expensive speedlite , to be honest I can't afford those ones, would it kind of the same if I use more affordable speedlite in my food photography?? Which speedlite would you recommend me???? Regards 👍😁

[@botvidsson]

Hehe, yes!

[@MatsAndersson]

Great stuff! So much better when it's not a giggly and silly as some of the other episodes. Keep it like this and you'll be celebrating 10.000 subs soon.

You are the best teacher 💐

[@botvidsson]

Many many thanks

[@SpikeColgate]

Yet another cool tutorial, thanks! BTW, what table do you use here? I'm after something relatively compact and foldable like this..

[@botvidsson]

In this video I'm using a kitchen worktop "concrete" from IKEA www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/ekbacken-worktop-concrete-effect-laminate-60335651/ It's a bit too shiny but works okay. Extremely heavy though. THANKS!

[@ro3843]

Your videos are gold.

[@botvidsson]

Big thanks!

[@DoktorStutz]

You are an experienced photographer, no doubt. But I still have a question: does it really make a difference when you have a honeycomb and put a diffusor in between? One makes the light more direct. Just to diffuse it again?

[@botvidsson]

You are writing "diffuse it AGAIN", the honey comb doesn't diffuse the light. Reflector with grid vs diffused light are to very different things. Not sure I understand the question, please tell me more.

[@adrianochsner9182]

@@botvidsson Sure, I‘m aware the honeycomb makes the light more direct. But the difusor spreads it. so the use of the honeycomb doesn’t help a lot, does it? I thought. Other than that I also enjoy drinking lots of coffee suring shoots.

[@botvidsson]

The only reason I added the diffusion was to get a softer light. The diffusion might spread the light a tiny bit but that is okay. If I did not put a grid on the light it would spread a lot more... I still don't understand what you mean? Coffee is great 😁

[@adrianochsner9182]

@@botvidsson thank you. I will have to try that in my own studio. just the first thought was that the diffusor spreads the light so much that the honeycombs purpose of keeping the light in a straight direction is all gone. Does ist really make a difference if you add a honeycomb or not when you diffuse it a bit further down? That was I wasn't sure. But perhaps it also matters what kind of diffusors you have? You are way better equipped than I am, I guess. And way more experienced. In photography. Not in drinking coffee - I can keep up there.

[@botvidsson]

I don't remember if I used a 5 degree grid or not but that one vs just the reflector makes a huge difference. I really like this moody look and that's why I wanted to spot te light as much as possible. I could have put the diffusion straight on the grid so I got rid of the harsh specular highlights but then I think the spot would be too small.

[@FightMusic]

😂😂😂 14:55 "I think you did a real good job here today." He probably thinking she should have been the subject.

[@botvidsson]

Hehe. No, Sebastian actually brought Catarina to the studio and he help out much with the lighting, you just don't see it in the final cut.

[@tyronecarreker6430]

hahahah I noticed that too

[@angelinahaspel143]

this is so refreshing to watch and so helpful. I have two question, 1st you said that you leave on the live view, when I do that my lights will not fire until I take out the live view again, is there a different setting that it would work in the life view? 2nd you got this self made defuser, what kind of paper did you use? Thanks

[@botvidsson]

Thanks! What camera do you use? All my gear you can find here: www.botvidsson.se/gear

[@angelinahaspel143]

I am having a canon 5D Mark iii

[@botvidsson]

I also have the Mark III, have to do a test. On the Mark IV I need to press the Start/Stop button sometimes to take photos during live view, maybe it's the same on the Mark III. This is when I shoot to Capture One.

[@belotefernando2541]

The orange HDMI cable you used seems pretty flexible and quite long, could you tell us where to purchase it?

[@thomasjames7644]

Looks like a tethertools cable.

[@botvidsson]

Yes, it's a standard USB cable from Tethered Tools, you can get it in most camera stores.

[@botvidsson]

[@DynastyUK]

I'm going to buy a DedoLight you have here, but I can't find a Combo. I notice you use a Profoto with it. Which one are you using? And why not use the "dedolight DLHM4-300" ? I've almost watched all your videos now and can't wait to watch them again! Fantastic stuff man! :D

[@botvidsson]

I'm using this: profoto.com/se/products/light-shaping-tools/special-effect-tools-b32cd65b/dedolight-dp-1-attachment And this Multispot: profoto.com/se/products/lights/studio-packs/special-effect-lights/multispot Think it's hard to find the Dedolight attachment...

how can you flash be fasdt enough for your shutter speed?is it a specific flash?

Sorry, I don't understand? Tell me more please.

[@avenewconsulting1118]

@@botvidsson when I take a picture and the shutterspeed is to fast, my flash light to late, if the shutter speed is fast than250. I see in your video that your shutter speed is faster and your flash light is in the same time, I want to understand if it s because youre flash is more expensive or another reason

[@botvidsson]

@@avenewconsulting1118 With clash, I never shoot with faster shutter speed then 1/200 with the Canon. With the Hasselblad camera I can go up to 1/800 shutter speed and it will work with flashes, it's because that camera is a bit special.
