[@workphlo]

Thanks Abbas

[@dangerruss5]

I love everything you do on this channel but SERIOUS respect for clarifying the perspective differences being caused by the camera position instead of the focal length. Love the level of knowledge you consistently communicate in simple and effective ways.

[@workphlo]

Thanks!! No prob

[@stefanpop6091]

Such a cool and young dude with a healthy passion

[@Photoid01]

Another great tutorial. Quick paced. Well organized. Lots of little but useful tips. Your videos inspire me to get downstairs more often and shoot stuff. When you're retired, you tend to get lazy sometimes.

[@workphlo]

Thanks for sharing the bit about retirement, I look forward to it! Haha, thanks for watching our videos.

[@feeltheeffect85]

Best channel. Thanks for the tutorials, cheers from Australia!

[@detaildz]

Thanks! your videos are by far the easiest to understand and to use.

[@workphlo]

Glad you like them!

[@BrunoRBSilva-fh9rw]

Great as always ! One of the things that I see begginers struggling are the highlight position and diffusion, and here you demonstrated it very well!

[@workphlo]

Thanks Bruno, it took me a while to get a handle on highlights and diffusion. Glad you commented bud take care

[@Themanintheredcoat]

This is an amazing tutorial. Easy to replicate, you’re taking at a rate that allows the listener to absorb the material and most of all the results are fantastic. Great work

[@workphlo]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the commentary :) I appreciate it

I recently found your channel and you are Great! To the point and working with reasonable gear is a great help! Thank you

[@stevebuissinne530]

I was very interested to learn how you prevented the 'unruly' highlights. The whole video is great but this was an important revelation to me. Thank you.

[@workphlo]

I changed my settings, such that the ambient light was effectively black in my exposure!

[@rudyrodriguezjr.]

Wow great video on lighting! Thanks!

[@workphlo]

Thanks, I like lighting with the Yongnuo speedlights. Happy New Year!

[@oxidan78]

[@JN46R4]

Do you use any specific settings for your speed light? Also i set my camera to 11 and 1/250 but the picture did not come out black (it was day time but no other light source). PS i bought the black and white acrylic plate from you, which is great quality

[@dianefreeman579]

Awesome tutorial and more important you are easy to follow and easy to listen to. Thank you.

[@workphlo]

[@robertogalindo1175]

Hey Dustin, which camera would you recommend for product photography? Excellent videos, by the way.

[@workphlo]

Honestly, any camera. It 99% the light light light!

[@قاسم-ق1م]

Wow cool

[@workphlo]

Cheers!

[@Vigilence]

Your tutorials are awesome! Do you color grade your videos? I noticed a white haze on all the ones I see.

[@workphlo]

I don't, if you e-mail me a screen shot of it corrected to dustin @ workhplo (dot) ca I would love that!

[@user-oc6mr1jr6s]

You are really talented in this are.

[@rubendE]

Thanks. Some great content. Please, what do you use to attach the plexiglass to the lightstand?

[@workphlo]

Hi Ruben, I custom welded this but stay tuned for a shoppable solution.

[@oouje]

Very nice tutorial! But i suggest you adding the noise when you finish with the transformation adjustments, if you add the noise right when you start, then stretching certain parts of the image will cause the noise to stretch, too. That can look a little weird when the noise is noticeable.

[@workphlo]

Good point cheers

[@Duphe]

awesome video bro! thank you for your time and effort!

[@workphlo]

No prob, thanks for watching!

[@ahmedalazzawi8268]

Nice shot

[@workphlo]

Thanks Ahmed

[@aritranaskar1964]

Love your work flow a lot. Please show some product photography workflow with an octabox

[@workphlo]

Ok I will! Stay tuned

[@DADT12]

Love your videos. They are very informative and inspirational. This glass came out perfect. I make custom cutting and charcuterie boards and I want to be a level above all others. I would love to see you photograph one or if you could give lighting ideas that would be great. I have a vision of my boards with a wine glass, cheese and salami. Thank you

[@workphlo]

Wonderful! You should send me a drawing [e-mail] I could help

[@mmsotster]

excellent work!

[@workphlo]

Thanks for the visit

[@marius_persson]

Thank you a lot for a wonderful tutorial. A quick tip instead of hitting ctrl + j and ctrl + e, to merge everything together in a new layer, you could hit ctrl + alt + shift + e. Have a nice day!

[@workphlo]

Great tip! I just used that today now. Thanks, I will upload the video Monday.

[@danielkhosuma]

Nice tutorial. How to put the Plexiglas above the light stand? Thanks before

[@workphlo]

We make this attachment on our online store workphlo.shop thanks!

[@vidyadharpawar2737]

Awesome

[@workphlo]

Thanks Vidyadhar

[@angelohaak3312]

Really love this channel. Happy New Year

[@workphlo]

Thank you! Happy New Year.

[@therealroblay2617]

Hey what holder are you using to the plexiglass base?

[@workphlo]

workphlo.shop/s We weld these locally and proceeds support these free tutorials. Enjoy! 👍

[@cesaralvarez3298]

Love your thought process

[@workphlo]

Cesar, thanks for the kind words.

[@JohnDawson]

Good work, Dustin!

[@workphlo]

Happy New Year John!

[@jamesmccowan]

I have been looking for good quality acrylic base for a while but have been struggling to come across a good source to order from as I live in Portugal. do you know any good reliable online store I could order this from? the shipment and duty fees will make ordering from the site you recommended quite expensive.

[@zakariara9975]

Great job man

[@workphlo]

Cheers! I appreciate it

[@happytang1802]

Thanks for sharing your progress. Photographing glassware is a nightmare and you take some of that fear away

[@workphlo]

So true! Thanks for that comment. Make sure to subscribe

[@nomadicsoulart]

Great stuff mate . One question can 40 inch Octabox be used instead of strip box ?

[@workphlo]

Yes you can use an Octabox! But the shape won't be as "linear" if the highlight is ugly, consider blocking off two trapezoides on the side of the octabox such that you leave a stripbox "window" with black constriction paper or garbage bag. Cheers! You should subscribe buddy!

[@georgikozhuharov2293]

Amazing video and tutorial. THANK YOU

[@workphlo]

No problem at all Georgi! Stick around

[@detaildz]

Great videos, easy to understand. Question, why do you use speed light instead of continuous light with your soft box? Bob

[@workphlo]

Good question! Speedlights are a cheap source of light, battery powered and have good motion freezing capability. So I use them in all my general work. Cheers

[@elgerrald]

hi!! wich fake ice cubes you recomend?? have a link? thanks!!

[@workphlo]

I don't at the moment!

[@BeyondPhotography]

lovely tutorial Sifoo @Dustin @workphlo

[@workphlo]

I miss y'all! Thank you so much 🌺

[@BeyondPhotography]

and happy new year, sifoo Dustin

[@workphlo]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 💙

[@michaelfireborn7217]

Great tutorial, thank you for taking the time.

[@workphlo]

Cheers Michael

[@nitablackwood6301]

Not sure if you'll see this. But do you think poster board or colored foam board will be good to use as backdrop ? I cant afford to buy different color seamless backdrops

[@workphlo]

I use a wall most of the time, a clean foam board is great if it is big enough!

[@fatheadmediapro]

This is great. Thanks. I do have a question. What is the benefit of using flash vs just having the light on constantly for easier adjustments?

[@workphlo]

Flashes have brief durations, making them ideal for freezing motion. They also are pretty light-weight when they have batteries and don't need charged often, so it is a technical decision. Both work fine!

[@_michaelglass]

Awesome tutorial. Something I'd suggest is adding the noise as the topmost layer so the noise doesn't get stretched when you're doing the Marquee + Transform trick. I like to add a 50% Gray layer, set it to Soft Light, and then add the Noise filter. Keeps it consistent and non-destructive and also you don't have to worry about the noise stretching when making those types of adjustments.

[@juanpenagonzalez8541]

Fantastic video👍🏻

[@workphlo]

Thanks Juan! Cheers make sure to subscribe and stick around :-)

[@justsuperjl]

Thanks for your videos! May I ask, is there a downside to getting a taller strip box? The one you in your link is 36" and I see some products go up to 63". Would those be overkill or have a negative effect on the shot?

[@workphlo]

I find the 36" PERFECT, unless your products is taller than 36". Though, anything will work! The tall ones would be cool for lighting tall objects and even humans with nice strip lighting, which the 36" would be too short for fully. Best of luck! Make sure to check out our product photography tools at workphlo.shop

[@facufelice]

Hi, I have a question, what did you use to hold the acrylic on the C stand? Thank you It's a great video.

[@workphlo]

A steel support plate available at workphlo.shop Cheers!

[@alecubudulecu]

how are you holding / balancing the tray/plexiglass? I figure it's a lightstand tray... but... what are they called exactly? (when I google it I get a million results that aren't... that)

[@workphlo]

I had to custom weld mine, and now we are selling them! Stay tuned

[@matanaviv3311]

Dude you're good !!

[@workphlo]

Thanks Matan

[@alirezakeikha3377]

you're doing a great job! keep it up! and thank you so much

[@workphlo]

Hey thanks Alireza!

[@sabinanabiullina696]

Hi😌 I am wondering which lenses you use?!

[@workphlo]

Love me the 18-105 kit lens

[@ekhlasali7956]

amazing

[@galengrippo3789]

im a glass blower and just bought a a7iii and not sure what lens to get any help would be greatly apperciated

[@workphlo]

I use a kit lens 18-105 mm. The "standard" broad lens for that will work beautiful.

[@mccyber]

Hey Dustin, I'm a big fan of your work. Can you please do a tutorial on photographing white porcelain teaware on pure white background for eCommerce? Thank you!!!

[@workphlo]

That's an interesting idea, I do have more catalog white ecommerce lighting setups in production so stay tuned.

[@mccyber]

Awesome! I cannot wait! Thank you!

[@itsdavo5810]

fantastic video! thank you for sharing! How do colored drinks look with this lighting setup? Do you have examples?

[@workphlo]

Whiskey looks amazing in this scheme, because the liquid can embody this glowing warm look. I dont have examples, but am looking to expand our alcohol shots soon. :) Thanks for watching

[@rasimons1]

workphlo brewed tea is a good way of replicating the look of whiskey and other brown spirits! We used that in theater to fill liquor bottles when we needed performers to “drink” in scenes.

[@dreamstudies238]

Hi bro what are the best and needed leans for product ?

[@workphlo]

I use the kit lens, so anything with a distance you like

[@LeoStlouis]

Great video! Where did you get your Ice cubes

[@workphlo]

I got mine on Amazon (might have some linked to USA in my description) but that was years ago, they are of the cheapest variety. Best of luck!

[@FunTimesWithSkylarAndNick]

Great video as usual Dustin. Would love to get a chance to work you on a video. Maybe the White ECom product shots...?

[@workphlo]

I'm all ears, feel free to e-mail us at contact (at) workphlo (dot) ca

[@workphlo]

[@islamisyourcenter2265]

[@Mbiork]

Explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKWpYYiQp7CYgKM

[@workphlo]

Thanks Mbiork!!

[@chrisyoung1551]

hey，Can i ask a question the room was bright when shooting,but why the photography were dark tone （I'm a novice：））

[@workphlo]

If I turned my flash off the room is BLACK dslr so the light isn't effecting what you are seeing. My flash is 100% the light source

[@hermanakbiyik513]

Hi Dustin, i like your work flow,it is very helpful, you are doing great job. thank you! :) If you have a chance, i would like to see your white gold diamond photography work flow. thank you :)

[@workphlo]

Thanks Herman, I made a note of that. Great idea for a photo
