How to Create Moody Product Photos in Studio with Flash

Follow me in the studio for a product photo shoot where you can find out how I created moody, textured product photos by using studio flashes only and zero natural light. My goal though was to mimic natural light, I wanted my images look like if the afternoon warm sunlight was coming through the windows, casting some shadow play on the products I’m working with. You might be wondering, how is it possible to avoid that in-studio, ‘flash-y” look? The secret is: you have to create a mix of super soft and harsh light. Sounds confusing, right? Don’t you worry my friend, it is not that complicated at all and you can see all the behind the scenes in this video and be a fly on the wall. The other secret ingredient is a unique light modifier, called: Westcott Lindsay Adler Optical Spot and the GOBOs it comes with. You might have heard about this type of modifier by the name projection light too.
To be honest, I had been debating for quite some time if I should get this special light shaper for my studio because I was absolutely intimidated by it. Now I know that it was only my fear of failing talking (aka fear of not being able to figure it out) and I wasn't even sure if I would use it very often. But boy, was I wrong about that! I absolutely LOVE it!
I've been following Lindsay Adler’s work with the Westcott Optical Spot using different GOBOs for portrait photography but I just recently discovered how versatile this technique can be for product photography as well. In the video I show you my step-by-step process with it while photographing Aesop products.
If you'd like to learn more about how to use the Westcott Optical Spot and the GOBOs, head over to Lindsay Adler’s explanatory video: czcams.com/video/sR2UfEsUGbE/video.html

      I have no video on how I use the TV but basically what I do is mirror my iMac screen onto the TV. My TV acts like a second monitor. As per the iPad, I used to shoot wirelessly tethered to it, so that the clients could see their images pop up on the screen, in real time. I’m not doing that anymore because the file sizes have increased so much, the wireless connection couldn’t keep up with that. These days I’m shooting tethered to my laptop.

    • @AndreaDomjanPhotography
      @AndreaDomjanPhotography Před 9 měsíci

      Hi Ashley, you’ll need continuous light sources for video. The reason why the photos look so different is because I’m using flashes that are more powerful than continuous lights and the camera only picks them up in that fraction of a second when they flash. I recommend the continuous lights from Godox, for instance like this one: amzn.to/3PXpEEE

    This is a great video. Love the ideas. I’ve been wanting to do a shoot with plant shadows so when this was in the video I found it helpful. Just curious though, was the shot without fill or did you end up using fill? In the diagram there’s a strobe more angled and pointing through the plants but in the video you have a strobe with a reflector dish and barn door almost pointed directly at the model. Did that one end up getting placed there as fill? Thanks 😊
