How to Create a Gradient Reflection with a Large Softbox

[@scotimages]

Very simple but clever ideas. What a super way to video the demo!

[@janlasalle8845]

Beginner with products. Thank you for helping me understand the gradient issue. I have a giant strip box I used with full length dancers . I blocked it out on one side but I need to reverse the black flag material so that the white part of the box can touch the corner of the added on diffuser. Im going slowly with all of this and just figuring out a little at a time. These are great lessons. Glad I found you. Thank you so much! I hope the reopening (2020)is good for your business!

Nice tutorial. I like how you gave us three views at once and I could see the photos come up onscreen, that's a big help.

[@medianow100]

I agree with Mike Keller the 3 view aspect is very intuitive. Great procedure, to your tutorial, thank you.

I like how you show all the steps even when things go wrong and how to correct them. Some tutorials edit out the wrong steps and just show you 1, 2, 3... Perfect photo. Then you try to do it and you just get something wrong and no idea how to fix it. Thanks!!

The video is great refresher course if doing this professionally or a hobby.

Loving your understandable way of getting closer to the perfect gradiant!

the gradient is awesome! the mug could use some rim light and the gradient reflection could use some more distance to the edge, but thats just moving stuff around a bit, great tutorial!

Thank you very much for our videos, Alex

If you need a small, extremely versatile and controllable light source for domestic product shots you can use a computer monitor! It's perfectly flat and the light is evenly distributed, you can even design your own patters and gradients as simpe JPEGs in photoshop and use em for creative effects!

I'm among the ones that didn't know about that angle between the softbox and the diffuser. And I had to spend too much time in PS trying to fix that poor gradient. Thanks for the free tip!

[@JohnSullivansChannel]

Great tutorial (as always). Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

thanks Alex for another great tutorial been watching your products photo tutorial and I have learn a lot

[@nightdonutstudio]

This video actually makes large softbox more verstail than stripbox. Because you can control how much width the strip of light you want to use. With 1 stripbox the width is fixed.

[@nickspeakman8999]

You always give fantastic advice this video answered a lot of questions for me thank you! Could you do a video on how to keep this look but highlight some small details on a product but keep the gradient? If that makes sense 🤔
