Wooowwww... absolutely nailed it! I am very new to all of this, and am waiting on my samples to arrive, but I think I will be able to follow this step-by-step easily! Definitely following. Thank you so much! 🙏

I have viewed hundreds of product photography videos. Many offered solid instruction, some were just plain bad. This video is by far the most professional, detailed, and clear instruction I have seen. However, depending on how much post-editing you choose to do, the work can be quite tedious. Of course savings masks and other parts of the editing process will help save time when working with batches and for future work. Since this video was created five (5) years ago I have to wonder if this level of work is only necessary for things such as catalog work. Hard to imagine this level would be needed for a jewelry shot on something like Etsy.🔘

Bro 20$ u van buy the whole electric spinner 😂😂😂😂

Excellent

photography for dummies. SO many mistakes. if you were an ecommerce photographer who needs to shoot hundreds of frames, you would be out of a job. but I like how you explain stuff.

Amazing

just get a cheap motor turntable

You're attention to detail id superb 😊

This is an amazing tutorial. Such a huge difference from what I could do before. Thank you so much!

Brilliant advice, can't wait to test this out myself tomorrow. Thank you sir

Omg, my client wants to pay 2$ per photo. This is huge work.

nice video, thanks for effort.

Man, you saved my life! Thanks

This is THE ONLY video on youtube that FULLY and thoroughly explains from beginning to end and even using cheap jewelery to extend working it to show how to edit imperfections. THE BEST!!!!!

Hi i take 90 photos for half spin, And I used same method, for the video was laggy

I t think Lindsey Adler said she focus stacks at least 100 images

Amazing job! Thank you for sharing💙

Thank you for uncovering the whole process, I was very curious!

How much do you charge per photo for this kind of focus stacking photography of reflective product?

Although I like your methods for explaining doing 244 photos for a rotation and done manually to keep the turntable cost down, the end result was MOV, and then every 10 frame for interactive software. I realize this video is done 6 years ago and technology has improved. It might be easier and faster to just buy a 360 electric turntable for $150 which is what I have found on Amazon, which either rotates continuously, or you can set the remote to stop at angles of either 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 or 1/64 of a full rotation. With a remote on a camera and remote on turntable, the "interactive method" shots can be 16 photos or 32 or 64 photos for an interactive image and full rotation (if the file is Interactive by user). Regarding the MOV version file, would it not simply be easier to use the electric turntable set to continuous rotate and the camera set to either 60fps or 120 fps and slow down speed of the rotation in software (by 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 speed) in a video program to get a "similar 244 frame look" as an MOV video and let the turntable rotate 2 or 3 times continuously. Or would your opinion be the image quality would not be high enough? (However I doubt it.) With 60fps is chosen in video mode, most cameras have 4K in 2023, which can be resized to 1080 HD on export after cropping in if needed. Or many cameras today have 120fps in 1090x1920 HD which can be slowed down 4x if needed. Framing should be perfect is not cropping later. Bright LED lights would be needed for high F-stop in video to achieve f8 or f11. The reason I say this, is that I had a client who wanted 14 items for 360 rotation and doing 244 photos each product manually would make it a long process and too costly for my client based on the time and labour. Again your video is 6 years old and methods change to get the results, so I expect you may do it differently now.

Have you tried building this from tracing paper and some kind of plaque transparent? That way you'd be able to shoot directly throw the cone. This is also a great way! Both this and Karl Taylors light cone are great ways and I can't wait to test them out. Great straight to the point video : )

Please upload more videos, you're the best!! ❤

Super helpfull

This is an incredibly good tutorial. Would be cool to see an updated version with any workflow changes made with up-to-date photoshop tools.

I would recommend an adhesive-backed plastic or metal measuring tape instead of taping a cloth measuring tape to the turntable.

🙏

I can't explain just how helpful this video has been. I've been struggling with improving the quality of our jewelry photographs and this video has done wonders for the photos we now take!

Love the video, but when shooting hundrets of objects, this workflow is not feasable for any client. unless he wants to spent millions.

This is very good, ive never seen a video like this before, great information, great instruction. Laura in Uk

Vou dar uma boa idéia, faz ele no AutoCAD 3D. Scaneia ele em 3D e passa pro AutoCAD. Outro detalhe: quando a pessoa que ver a foto pra comprar e receber em casa um anel todo lascado... Como fica aí nos EUA, sobre propaganda enganosa? O anel é todo cheio de defeitos e a pessoa olha a foto e compra. A não ser que receba a foto. Receberá algo bizarro.

I think this is the best tutorial I have seen so far. 4 years ago and is still very useful, thank you so much.

Nice video with good instructions, but when you shoot hundreds of shoots you cant lay this time on each sunglasses, you want it as good as it gets from the camera and lightsetup. Do you lay this time even if you have hundreds of sunglasses?

I sell on a variety of e-commerce platforms. I didn't realize how different jewelry photography is from regular products! The paper tube hack is amazing ( although I'm using a phone, so I'm still struggling with closeups). Definitely time to invest in a good camera and lenses! Thank you.

Had I found this 4 yrs ago would have saved me a few thousand dollars. I will use this technic on the road when I leave my expensive stuff at home. Cheers.

Let’s address the Elephant in the room. Looks like this is for a company producing large amounts of that inexpensive jewellery, meaning, this is something like car photography for car industry e.g. VW, BMW etc. where you can charge very high prices. How much can you charge here? I’m asking because I don’t want to offer too low and for that destroy the market by far too low prices. I see this effect with wedding photography in Switzerland. Couples booking newcomers having no clue charging half of the normal price and are then disappointed with the result.

most underrated, undersubscribed channel in CZcams photography history. unbelievable.

I've been frustrated for several years about the best and easiest way to do this. You've made mt job so much easier. Bravo!

I honestly feel like this is all totally unnecessary. I focus on just making flawless looking jewelry and then I have very little to worry about fixing in post. My customers also are happier that the product actually looks better in person than in photos.

Looks awesome. May I know the software that you used for rendering 3d images?

hello, thank you for your time. I was wondering how did you change the inside, and outside. after using the pen tool, you chose the paths, and then on the new layer you hit the rectangle, then a black box came up, but then it just change to white, how did you do that? it's at the first 20 seconds of 12:04

Brilliant! Thank you so much.

I can say photography is good but the editing process is not that effective and the coloring process is even worse.

Very good tutorial mate. Thank you!

thanks

What material is the tube made of?

Mouse hole? That is only for Jerry not all mices

Thank you for showing your process. A lot of it was things I've already done, but you took it a step further to make it that much more richer! Thank you

So helpful to see the difference between light without the paper tube and with. Thank you!

To keep the item centred why not save some time and crisscross 2 lines over the turntable to pin point the centre 🎉

Where do we find more style guides for the colors of gemstones? Or are these provided by the client?
