I've not finished the video yet but had to comment on the pricing part at the beginning. I get contacted constantly by start-up watch brands (sometimes 2-3 times per week) and I have exactly the same experience. Personally, and I do this with all my smaller clients, I give them options. Something like, if you want the best quality imagery possible it will cost "X", if that is beyond your budget then lets come up with a brief which works for you. If they actually have some budget (not something silly like £200) then we can sometimes land in a place which works for us both. This might be by modifying the brief (simplifying or reducing quantity) or lowering the quality of the final output. It's hard with watches as start-ups just don't realise the complexity but giving them options does sometimes work. Thanks for the video! Looking forward to watching the rest

[@botvidsson]

😃 Thanks! Well, I think it's so hard to reduce the quality by purpose when I take photos, it's like a knife in my heart 🥴 But I understand what you're saying, I just wish I could find a solution to work with all potential clients. Often it's like super small budget or big budget in my experience.

[@maxbridge8921]

Completely! I hate reducing the quality, never a fun experience, you always feel rushed and am never happy with the result. At the same time, it's better for the brand as they get a photographer who knows what they're doing, as opposed to someone who charges £200 and creates a poor photo, and it's better for you as you get paid. It took me a long time to be able to do this but I'm OK at it now. I normally start by thinking about it in terms of time. It would take me X amount of time in both production and post-production to do this perfectly. With your budget ("your" being a prospective client) I will only have half the time, or a quarter of the time. Then, when I'm shooting and retouching I'm really strict and only give myself the amount of time my client could afford. They still get a pretty good shot and I still get paid. Don't get me wrong, it's really hard working like that and I don't like it but very few start-ups can afford me if I don't modify how I shoot. When doing this it's really important to set expectations. That took me a while to get right. Oh, and there's a limit of course. Some people just have no budget (or very little) and I can't help there!

[@rafaelcavalli5837]

Clients are like: "1000 euros for a shot? You just need to press a button"

Martin, That was one of your better tutorials!, Even though Watches are hard to do, What one learns from this Tutorial is how to use lighting and how to Block certain areas of lighting, So much is gained for future use on other product shoots, not just watches. I love how you have added the details of the products or materials you use. Very helpful! I'm sending you a NON-Covid19 cup of coffee! Stay safe my friend. Also, what brand and where can one get those black metal frames that hold the diffusion material? If they are not crazy expensive, I would like to get about three of them.

Hi, I'm starting out with watchphotography and bought myself a Canon 5D Mk 1 and a Sigma 105mm lens. I tried taking picture and adjusting the white balance like you explained in the Redbull can video, but I'm not getting the results I'm looking for. If I would invest in lighting, what would you recommend for someone on a budget? Would you use a flash, strobe or continuous lighting? Umbrellas, soft box or diffusion panels? Many thanks! Arno

[@botvidsson]

I always suggest strobe, try finding 2 used flashes (Godox, Elinchrom or similar) with reflectors and grids+getting some diffusion material. Skip soft boxes and umbrellas.

Another fantastic video! Thank you for sharing your experiences with cheapskate clients who disappear as soon as they're quoted a reasonable price for their product photography. My experience has been the same. Many clients aren't sophisticated enough to understand how much time, effort and talent it takes to produce beautiful commercial images of products as complex as a watch. I suggest that in the future, before quoting your price for a watch photography gig, you should send the potential client a link to this video, then discuss your price.

This is making me think twice about trying out watches. Focus stacking makes sense. The difficulties of surfaces on watch looks complex. Maybe try out this after doing other products first with a bit more experience. Thanks for showing watches.

[@botvidsson]

Yes, don't start with watches, it can be a bit difficult. 😁

[@chillilover8345]

is there some sort of plate that you use to support the watch and the silicone strap? It seems to me that the strap itself could not hold the weight of the watch. There should be some sort of support? Which I assume is being clamped down as well? Is there a support product like this that we can buy? Thanks in advance - love your tutorial!

[@botvidsson]

Thanks! If I remember correct the silicon strap was very stiff so I only clamped the buckle with some cloth to protect if from getting scratched.

Thanks a lot!

[@carmichael97]

how did you go about pushing the nob back in and placing it into the photo? did the watch move? how did that effect your stack?

[@botvidsson]

Yes the watch will move. First I do the main stacking with the crown out, then I do another stacking for the crown shot. Then in Photoshop I will manually place the crown shot in the correct place.

[@peterhubertus]

Would it be advisable to reduce the number of focus stack shots with using a tilt lens?

[@botvidsson]

I would say in general yes. Maybe not advisable because it WILL be less photos thanks to the tilt function.

[@BrainActivity1]

Hi From what i can read online when using a polarizing filter you will need a natural source of light or polariserende film in front of strobes(which seems to be expensive) but you do it with diffusers here and clearly got it to work. Please help my confusion

[@botvidsson]

It is often enough with just a Pol filter on the camera, it all depends on where the light comes from, what angle. If your light comes from a "bad" angle you can add the pol filter on the light, this might help you more. At some point I will do a proper pol filter video tutorial, both lens and light pol filters.

[@bogdanpopescu8406]

There are TWO steps : first you CREATE the polarising light, with a polarising film on the light itself (flash), then you use this already polarised light with a CPL filter on the camera lens.
