I've been searching videos all day for this exactly. Awesome video my man! Thank you.

[@tiktokads1762]

Man, the quality of the video is insane! Thanks!

[@jaijeffryes3278]

Im a pro photographer based in NYC. I shoot portraits and dance. I have thousands of dollars worth of gear. During the pandemic I wanted to shoot so I started working tabletop and found it really interesting. Im back to shooting dancers again . My husband recently gave me an iphone 13 pro max and I was blown away with the quality of the camera inside...macro, portrait.low light. Im doing a product shoot tomorrow and I am bringing my iphone along to see how it performs. I didnt realize there were interesting apps to go with it. Thank you for making me aware. I agree that talent and passion and patience in setting up are key. Keep up the good work!

[@ShootSmartphone]

[@germangujju9775]

Great work. Really appreciate your enthusiasm to make the product look really outstanding. Did you use Lightroom Pro?

Yes, I used Lightroom Pro, but you don’t really need to Pro features to follow this tutorial 👊🏽😁

Wow, I am in tears

[@hafashhaufi30]

Wow, great video n awesome,🤩

You’re welcome 😁👊🏽

[@yolandenichols]

I loved this video! Super helpful and relatable; instant subscribe! How would you do a shiny object standing upright, like a glitter tumbler?

[@ShootSmartphone]

Thank you, I’m glad I was able to help. Shiny objects can be very tricky and probably a little in depth for me to answer in a comment. I think it would make a good video tutorial, so I’ve added it to my list of videos to do on the channel. 😁

[@thehealthandfitnesstv]

Great video mate

Great video

[@jake360flip]

Checking out some videos to get some better product photos for my etsy. I've watched a few and let me tell you this is by far the best one for me. Quick paced, kept me engaged and incredible results. It's given me some ideas to try. I expected you to have 1m plus subscribers. Scrolled up and was blown away by how little you have. Keep up the grind because content like this is incredible and you deserve to earn a living from KZbin.

[@ShootSmartphone]

Hey, thanks for the great feedback. Maybe one day I’ll hit 1 million subscribers! I’m glad I was able to help check out my latest video if you’re interested in Etsy photography 😁👊🏽

Please could you make more videos like this maybe with bright colour palettes. This video awesome! Definitely my favourite video!

[@ShootSmartphone]

I have a few more ideas coming up over the next few months. Thanks for the support 😁

[@anushkabenjamin]

@@ShootSmartphone Can't wait to see them! I am trying to set my own youtube channel up but the nerves are getting the best of me in front of the camera. Any advice?

[@kianedllc1395]

Love your accent, love the show and really appreciate the knowledge. I am loosing my vision and my new DSLR is very difficult for me to see out of. It’s IPhone from now on for me. 👍

[@ShootSmartphone]

Thanks for the comment .

[@ghxst4393]

Best takeaway was to set up the grid and have the setup first. it makes the positioning process more easier.

[@ismaben9005]

Why this channel has less than 6000 subs? This is truly gold

[@ShootSmartphone]

Thanks, hopefully hitting 6k subs in a few weeks 😁👊🏽

Thank you 😁👊🏽

[@TreasureCoastUkuleles]

Anil, many thanks for making this video ! It was exactly what I needed as for small product photography. I was hoping you might be able to answer a question. I'm using a Galaxy S21 phone. It's shooting well with natural light through Lightroom, but for some reason, the top areas of the screen are in sharp focus but the bottom area of the shots are somewhat soft. Could you tell me how to correct this ? I would be very appreciative if you can help me correct this 🙏

[@ShootSmartphone]

It’s hard to help you without seeing the photo you’re trying to shoot. DM me on instagram and send me the photo with the issue. 👊🏽

[@ImranKhan-ic8xl]

Hi Anil you’ve got an amazing way of explaining things!! Just a question how do you set the pixels 3000*3000 via Lightroom mobile?

[@ShootSmartphone]

Thanks, unfortunately you can’t set the pixels or dimensions like that in Lightroom Mobile. Ou would have to do that in another app or on desktop. You can only adjust the aspect ratio in the Lightroom Mobile 👊🏽

[@ImranKhan-ic8xl]

Thanks for the reply Anil, that was really quick😊

[@spoopieboop8542]

I wish I was half this creative when shooting my product images.

[@ShootSmartphone]

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. 😁

[@susanraychelle592]

Hii please can you put a link to where you got your tripod from ?? I can't find the exact on Amazon. Thanks

[@ShootSmartphone]

Hey, unfortunately, this tripod is now discontinued. There is a link in the comments for a K&F Concept tipod that is a very good alternative the one that I'm using in this video.

[@richfletcher3275]

How am I only just seeing this channel???

[@ShootSmartphone]

I’m growing slowly. I appreciate your support 😁

[@TheGayathiry]

Please do more product photography…

[@ShootSmartphone]

Don’t worry, I have loads to do in my backlog 😁

[@marcuscollins103]

The iPhone 14 pro max with the Lightroom app. The only reason to drag the Nikon out is because I've invested so much into good glass. Ill be using my phone and DSLR on photo and video shoots from now on.

[@ShootSmartphone]

Still has its place, depends on what you’re shooting for, but for web and social media which is 90% what I shoot for, a smartphone is great 😁👊🏽

[@scottbonge9032]

Do you take image for other businesses? I invented a product and am looking for interesting and creative images and taken by a professional like yourself. Very impressive. Btw.. my product is a mens goatee shaving template along with other products that go with it
