    Love the tips, definitely going to try some things here. As a cheap alternative, I built my suspension stand (number 9 on the list) out of PVC tubing (schedule 40). Maybe not as 100% stable as the pro version, but it's super-cheap, easy to find, and can hold together with friction so it's easy to set up, break down, and customize as you need.

    Great video as usual 👌 very inspirational. A black backed glass chopping board is also great for standing things on to photograph and doesn't scratch as easy as the perspex version for product photography. Dishwasher safe too 😆 lol.

    @joshbeckman2970 Před 2 lety

    Yea, I'll be incorporating several of these items into my toy photography now.
    Here are a few things I have with me when I plan on being out shooting for several hours. A big tarp for when I'm out in the woods shooting. Very helpful when the ground is wet and I can put all my gear on it and be able to sit down or lay down on it when my back starts to hurt.
    I also toss a portable power bank in one of my bags to keep my phone and JBL Pulse charged while I'm jamming music out in the middle of nowhere.

    One thing I recommend that's good for spreading is a sifter it is perfect to get a cool snow effect or spread dirt all over the background. Also if you have an old fish tank it could be cool to get an under water effect to make bubbles!

    @rjstubbs Před 2 lety +4

    Well, my shopping list just got longer lol
    Been thinking about the fish tank logs as diorama props. There are some pretty good looking ones out there.
    Another one I've seen people use and thought of picking some up myself is Kinetic Sand. You can lay it out and form it without making a huge mess that normal sand always does. Would work good if you can't get outdoors and want a sandy landscape in your photo.

    • @SnapFaze
      @SnapFaze Před 2 lety +2

      Yeah fish tank props are expensive. Try a garden store where you can get small fake plants and moss like pot filler etc. Also check arts and craft shop too, they often have random odd size miniature things. Good luck and happy shopping.

    • @sirdork730
