How to Photograph Reflective Products short Intro
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- I'm happy to announce my (U.S) patent has issued and is now public. This is a device that will allow anyone to photograph highly reflective products without reflections. Reflections such as yourself, the camera and the environment.
With it, you can stand in front of a mirrored surface, face to face, and be completely invisible in its reflection. Like a vampire, almost. It's pretty cool.
Note:
As of now it is tailored towards more smaller Items such as silverware, watches, jewelry, pill bottles, make up, small mirrors.
Just like any other photographic device it has its limits and flaws but it’s a big step forward.
I hope you enjoy.

I love it when someone makes such a simple, yet ingenious, solution to a common problem! Well done!
Dude, this so well done! It's about time people get to see this awesomeness! Proud of you dude!
Truly, this is brilliant
All I can say is, WOW. I photograph drums for a living. Yes, drums. Shooting a drum with a chrome rim is nearly IMPOSSIBLE, and I spend most of my time editing out reflections. This is a GENIUS idea, and now I want one big enough to fit a marching snare into... Such an amazing idea!
Thank you! That would be a great challenge, trying to figure out how to fit a drum into one of these.
I’m still trying to find a photographic company interested in taking on this idea. It may take time but I won’t quit ha.
Dude, well done. I remember shooting my cousin's Dalcini stainless steel containers, having a really "fun" time with the reflections. Great work, hope everything works out as you intended.
Literally blew my mind! Well done!!
Brilliant!!! I had such a hard time photographing terrariums!! I bet this would work perfectly!
Has hecho algo muy valioso, deseo mucho éxito en tu vida.
¡Un genio contemporáneo!
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Wow..... I LOVE THIS
MUY BIEN, AMIGO! Como cinefotógrafo y mago de escenario, mis respetos por la idea.
This is so awesome!
This would have saved so so much time back when I was doing product photography!
Wonderfull idea. Looking forward to seeing it out there.
Smart erik! First patent! Then a full explanation vid! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to your next uploads
Thank you so much! Definitely working on the next one, ha.
Maestro, es un muy buen artefacto te felicito por tu ingenio!!!
Great idea.
This is so cool! I really hope this can be distributed to all the photographers out there!!!
Thank you me too!
That's ingenius! The Substance Designer people would probably love one of these to use for reference images, you could show off how a 3D shaders real life counterpart should look
Thanks!! That’s would be awesome. I’ve tried making this in Blender but it’s been coming out with a bit of a different result. I’m still new to 3D But I’m sure it can be figured out, ha.
ERIK!!! This is amazing! Beautiful results -Can’t wait to see where this goes!
Thank you! I’m excited to see where this goes too!
@@erikespinosa9708 how can I get this stuff ?
Erick is great to revolutionize product photography.
Thank you very much! :)
Incredible!!! Also, props for the jazz background tune :)
I want one, need one, now! This is a fantastic idea.
Thank you! Fingers crossed I can find a company to work with and professionally manufacture this idea to get it into your hands and everyone that wants to try it out, ha.
@@erikespinosa9708 did you find any? I’m interested in buying one please
You are a genious. 👍👍👍👍
Boulevard Photography had a setup with a large light canopy/room to stop reflection in the 60s.
That sounds so cool!
would it work with clear glass? or i guess just on glass in general? and water?? i'm very curious now
Very impressive pictures! Nice idea with the dome and light!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely genius!
Thank you!
Cool, thank you for the setup Erik. I'll try this setup at my house soon 😁
Go for it! I would love to see what results other people can get from this idea!
Muchas gracias por compartir este magnifico setup. Por favor dime donde has hecho/comprado el espejo y como se llama. Lo necesito en mi vida jaja :D
Well done Erik, very interesting concept. I work every day with jewelry and when it comes to silver, it is always quite annoying and I have to edit out the camera reflection.
Hope this will be adopted and produced!
Thank you!! Fingers crossed I’ll find a company to help me out so I can help everyone dealing with reflection issues :)
I love it! Now I need one to fit pianos in, that’s what I photograph! 🤷🏼♂️😅
That's really cool, man! Amazing idea
Thank you!
Very clever!
Great idea, let us know when you have a manufacturer lined up. There are other light tents or light cones out there to do similar things, however yours may have more flexibility in positioning camera angles and seems to eliminate lens reflection. Great invention, however the final version may need to be cost and size efficient compared to other ideas other there. Your idea does have a lot of pro features and great value.
All the best man.
very goooood
Dude this is amazing you are a genius!!
thank you!
great idea! i wonder if half a dome would do the job too?
Você fez um disco voador!
This is awesome!
Thank you!!
This is brilliant! The device can save hours of retouching.
this is very smart and save a lot of time shooting
Hi ! Where you buy that dome (with the reflective inside the bowl)¿
Erik: *Congratulation on your issued patent!* Most photographers would NOT have realized that a novel photo-type invention could be protected with a patent - great foresight!
Are you pursuing patent protection in other countries: Canada, Australia/NZ, UK, EU, China, Japan, etc.?
Can you comment on how much you spend to secure your Entero patent: USPTO fees + attorney fees + technical drawing fees?
Your updated title: Commercial Photographer & *INVENTOR!*
Genius!
Thank you!
Dude, this is awesome! If you don't mind asking what is the rational behind the two lights below? Also, how this setup impact the color of the object when the color is not silver?
Thank you! So far I haven’t had any problems with color fortunately.
It’s key to keep the room as dark as possible so lights are enclose in a black box table to avoid light spilling out.
Yeah, bravo. This is very well thought out. unfortunately doesn't help me at the moment trying to photograph a high gloss black artwork which is over 1m x 1m. I do occasionally photograph smaller items and something like this would be perfect though.
I need this
Amazing idea 👏
Thank you!
It's a great innovation. Is it possible to camouflage the camera instead?
This is a brilliant idea. I shoot a lot of small, reflective products and run into all of the problems you'd be familiar with. Do you have any problems with distortion fro shooting through the dome?
Thank you! I haven’t run into any problems of distortion fortunately. The only thing is, if there is a scratch/dust on the dome and it’s in the direction you are shooting at, the scratch/dust will be in the shot. Hopefully I can find someone to professionally manufacture this and get it in the hands of everyone!
Could you explain how to shoot when you open the double mirror at that moment and the second camera from another angle doesn't see you put a camera inside of the double mirror? Very good picture! Want more basic tips for beginners tutpirals on photography😜
Idea geniale, ma la cupola l’hai comprata cosi e poi hai costruito il resto? Mi piacerebbe anche a me creare qualcosa del genere.
Very well done!
Thanks!!
I need one like now.. do you have website?
so two way mirror dome works with constant video light... not using a photo strobe?
hola,donde as comprado la media esfera?
The dome is just a security camera dome that buy on Amazon. It works great.
is that it ?!
this is AMAZING Eric! Genius! Where can we sign up to get an update, when you'r invention is avaible for sale? :-)
Thanks!! I’ll probably make a video update when that time comes.
does it work with glass?
very informative 🥸👍🏻
De qual material é feito a cúpula?
Hello. Can I get a very large version of this somewhere? Would love to buy one.
Hi which is this half round metal we called?
This is really cool. Very well done! Where did you get this dome? Or how did you build it?
@@erikespinosa9708 thanks a lot for the explanation!
Was trying to better word my post but accidentally deleted my previous comment. But yea, If you search two way mirror dome you’ll find a site. The rest was made from hardware stores.
Por qué no pones el acrílico para qye salga desde abajo
Thenks sir make this video very helpful Im from india
Car models! Chrome car models! Small scale cars! Hobbyists is a great place to start too =D
All the best buddy
Thank you! :)
This is such a good idea. Would love to see this.
You can try looking into social media and find those groups and share you new toy =D
amazing... so smart. you should patent it. I hope you can find someone to help you boost and develop it even more, without a doubt it is a great solution...!!!
Thank you! Patenting was the first thing I did fortunately. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a company to work with and get this into the hands of anyone wanting this.
Great thing! How do you manage to mirror it with half opacity ? is it acrylic glass? Did not know it can be coated like chrome…
Great invention…
Thank you! It is acrylic and I find using strobe moonlights give the best quality using the two way mirror.
@@erikespinosa9708 so it's just the ONE mirror dome or you'e added two together? 🧐
did you test with sunglasses
It definitely does the job well but one big issue here is the cost. A large two way mirror would usually be very pricey $300-$1500 range?
I’m also from Baltimore and currently live in Dundalk and I sell Funko Pops. It’s been frustrating trying to take good pictures of the boxes without seeing me, my hand or my phone in the picture
Helo My Friend , where i
can buy That Dome
pretty complex for such shooting.!!
Hey! dude that’s a really fantastic idea , what you did is sooooo creative ,but what i really care about is how you solve the problems about the effect of the plastic shell to the quality of the image .
Yea the material needs improvement for sure. Still trying to find better material or ways to lessen distortion. Just another step out of many steps ha.
you mean how the dome warps the final image.?
it just so happens I've been looking at a kitchen item for sound effects... #notamacescher
Where can I buy it
Have you started selling it?
How far is your project now? where can one buy this dome?
Still trying to find a company to pick up this idea. Definitely not as easy as I thought it would be ha
Interesting idea can i get one, am from india.
Hi, really love this. Is this available for sale?
Thank you! It is not. I’m still trying on the search to find someone who might pick this idea up. Not as easy as I thought it’d be, ha.
How do you shoot not shown
Please do show that
Hello sir, I'm selling scissors ✂️ and they are very shiny ever I make picture it's dont come clear pixel, and I see reflect in it.
I'm using I'm mobile s23 ultra.
Please advise how to solve it.
thats really awesome cause im a product photog as well and these are just one of the annoying stuffs that happens quite regularly
Thank you! I’m sure there are ways the Entero can be used that I don’t even know about yet. I’m really hopping I can find a company to manufacture this, get it out in the market and into the hands of everyone that wants this.
@@erikespinosa9708 Good luck if u can produce that because thats a lot of hard work there.
Good job. Is your patent number "16/357,718" ?
That’s one! Ha I made some improvements and ended up with the one you see in the video. 16/706,075
genius
Thank you!
You're so bloody handsome🤤😍
i want this Drum???
1. What's better about this thing than a light tent?
2. Are you photographing through this thing?
I know you ain't recording your voice with your iphone
There's a better invention for that, by a British photographer
I want to do a comparison with his and mine. From what I’ve seen it looks like the cone only has one entry point and that entry point is reflected in the object. With mine the whole dome is an entry point and you can move around to view the object. This will be a fun test for sure ha
Ok so to photograph reflective objects I need to build this fucking reflective ball? Change the title of your video to "how to build a fucking reflective ball or buy my product"
Dear Erik, may i have your email address?
Or you can have a large piece of paper with a hole for the camera in it and then just photoshop the camera circle out of the reflection... lmao
