    I'm going to admit I almost dismissed this video because I don't particularly enjoy Food photography. How small minded of me. You really spoke volumes applicable to any genre!

    God I wish there was someone like you doing lighting tutorials for portraits. I love your videos. They inspire me

    Thank you so much. I have gained extensive knowledge about your videos lighting techniques. You have shared a wealth of detailed information that isn't typically found in many courses. This video deserves much more recognition.

    is it weird that I love these pictures so much? 😅 so calming and the dark green one with the better tones feels really luxurious

    This changed the way that I think about food photography. I always used to use a formula to take food shots and they always look so flat. Thanks so much for the inspo 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

  • @annelienpienaarfoodconsult139

    This is magic, you are a light bender of note and this was just super helpful to see light as a compositional tool. Brilliant work and I will follow your work. Thank you so much. You made me connect the dots!

    I can't believe how simple yet effective this method is. I've been getting real tired of shooting on plain color backgrounds. Thank you for your insight.

    Absolutely brilliant tutorial ! Using the light as part of your composition is just excellent

  • @whatsphilupto
    @whatsphilupto Před 2 lety

    Just stumbled upon your channel. The way you show your instructions behind the scenes in terms of creating the light is incredibly helpful. I am just starting out with product photography my self and this makes the creative process so much easier. It shows me the practical aspect of an idea and this, in the end, helps me to understand how to create the ideas that I have. Thank you.

  • @kevinmanley5043
    @kevinmanley5043 Před 8 měsíci

    I’m teaching myself Blender and I’ve seen a lot of 3D folks try and explain lighting and it’s usually poorly explained or they don’t really understand why they are getting the results they do, they are just pushing the buttons. So I’ve taken to watching tutorials from conventional product photographers, but those seem more focused on the photographer than the actual instruction. Your videos are perfect though. I’m learning a ton and taking notes. Thank you! Subscribing to your channel for sure! Your conventional lighting stuff is great. I’d love to see more videos of how you translate that to Blender as well. A lit in real life vs lit in Blender would be sick. I don’t think anyone has done that.

    Super duper helpful video man 👌
    I recently got into food photography and was literally boared by the usual diffused light setup . This video is an inspiration to break that rule so thanks for that .
    Also, I think most of the food photographers now a days use props which otherwise won't be present when any dish is served , like throwing some spices or main ingredients on the table which is find very unrealistic . I know , your channel is about lighting , but any thought on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks again . Liked and subscribed 👍
