HOW TO SHOOT highly reflective product with LED lights, IPHONE or ANDROID | Tutorial for beginners

[@shyamukumar8774]

Thank you.. you're someone who equally considers the same importance to the Android users as well.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome. I love android, and I prefer android. Unfortunately, I had to switch to iPhone three years ago because I had majority of issues with compatibility of these phones. Whatever took me two hours before now it takes me an hour… android footage was also giving me a hard time in video editing programs

[@MsFelixKatz]

Excellent! And spot-on re technical rules in context to bending them. As a designer, illustrator, and former art director/decorator (television), I’ve ascribed to, and given that exact advice. It’s a rule of its own, used by artists throughout history, but one we sometimes forget in this age of technology. It was refreshing to hear your shout out.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you so much for such kind words and thank you very much for your support. I am glad you found the video interesting and you liked it. Best wishes.

This was literally the most helpful product photography YT Videos I’ve seen. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

You have just given alot of hope to beginning photographers who dont have the big budgets many thanks and blessings for this wonderful video😊!!!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are very welcome. I’m glad the video helped.

[@colingerard7863]

Hi Zdenka. I like videos like this because it encourages people to explore photography more and with everyday things in the home. I use the flashlight from mobile phones to light various things, behind that can as a rimlight for example. Also, standing glass ware or a bottle of water on the flashlight to create interesting shapes can be fun for the background (and a good nigthlight in a bedroom). I use them for shooting with phones and cameras. Enjoy the rest of your day and sending good vibes from London.

[@Ambassadors-in5iu]

Thanks so much. Can you please guide me as to what software you are using for editing on your computer?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I use Adobe premiere pro but I suggest learning DaVinci resolve instead as that one if free and equally good

[@amburishkhanna9348]

Happy New Year.. Very useful content as usual. I need a suggestion from you. Which smartphone camera is good for beginners to start with KZbin videos. Please suggest. iPhone 14 Pro vs pixel 7 Pro vs Samsung s22 ultra.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I wish I could answer this question but I don’t review phones so I don’t know the other 2. I chose iPhone because it is the most compatible with gambles and other products.

Hello mam. Am arun from India. can you do a video about how to take selfie group photo on canon m50 mark ii. when am trying only me focused,others blured, can you please help me

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Thank you for your request. I don’t have Canon M 50 Mark two, but I can tell you that the principal is exactly the same with any camera. You just need to select correct aperture …. You need to boost it up way higher start at F/8 and up.

[@AllSetByArun]

@@ZdenkaDarula thank you😍

[@tomfraser3086]

I have to shoot a few dozen pieces of lumber that are very similar. Using my iPhone 14 pro max. Aside from a slate is there a way to embed each pieces SKU in the photo ?

I think you would have to do it in a post manually

Hello. Great video. What is the name of the Iphone photo app you are using?

Fantastic 👍

[@ZdenkaDarula]

[@carlosread5887]

I would have placed the phone vertically, in order to fill more the camera's sensor with the product. Otherwise, excellent job!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Absolutely I would as well however, I would have a very hard time create this tutorial. I needed to show the lights and smartphone screen for beginners.

[@ramanathetraveller]

Wish you a happy new year 🎊 from india

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Happy new year to you as well

[@darrenp1078]

What do you do when your LED light device is too large, and it shows up in the photo? Is editing it out the only option?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately, you can’t use bigger lights otherwise, you have to erase it in the post

[@thisisgerald]

how thick was the plexiglass used in the vid?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I am not exactly how many millimetres I bought it in a store. It’s just a standard plexiglass

[@madhatterdiscgolfer4031]

do you have a video about shooting products that are semi-transparent ?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately, I don’t have such video sorry

[@cranioex]

How to avoid this blur on the sides, if I'm using a camera I would put f/22 to avoid this but on the iPhone? I'm lost

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Unfortunately you cannot do anything about it on the phone as there is fixed aperture

[@igehring]

What is the phone app again ? Thank you !

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Just the regular phone camera app

[@Onlylovelystuff]

The finished shot has hard light still distorting the type. A quick google image search will show you this exact product photographed with more balance and with legible text.

[@ZdenkaDarula]

Of course if you use much higher end lighting you will achieve that. This tutorial was for limited budget lighting set up…

[@Onlylovelystuff]

@@ZdenkaDarula There are other tutorials using only iPhone and only one cheap light with 3 exposures that have a better result.

[@akshaksh6805]

hello Zdenka nice video! i hope you will be fine (INDIA)

Thank you very much for the greetings and many greetings back to you to India
