5 Creative Food Photography Lighting Setups using just ONE Reflector
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 07. 2024
- In this video, I show you how you can create 5 unique food photography lighting setups using just one 5 in 1 reflector and a few white foam boards. In the spirit of our gear obsessed culture, which I myself am no exception, I wanted to challenge myself to create at least 5 creative lighting scenarios using only one modifier that most of us probably already own.
Hope this helps or inspire you to start creating with whatever you've got already!

Just found your channel this morning after booking a photoshoot with a local steakhouse. You've answered several of the specific questions I had about flash, and I'm extremely grateful. Cheers!
"... and a dog." haha!!
You listed all the things I have lying around! Your video is really helpful. Thanks for the informative video!
Discovering your channel has been the highlight of my day.
I love your videos! Very informative and most importantly straight to the point. Thank you
It really helps me a lot... starting from zero to barely know something now by watching your videos! Thank you!
I just started watching you. You make good sense thank you. Now I'm motivated to start building, my portfolio. Thank you.
Really appreciate all your videos!!!! Super love the breakdown and how thorough you are. Thank you so much!!
Discovering your channel has reignited something in me and prompted me to pick up my old DSLR and nifty fifty and start shooting again! awesome content!
This is incredibly informative and inspiring. Thank you for sharing! Def. gonna try some of these setups.
I really like your videos. They are simple, you don't have extraneous dialogue and you seem like a nice person.
Thanks so much for all your awesome videos. I have watched a few now and just totally love your vibe, the videos are informative, fun and easy with easy to replicate set ups. Please keep them coming.
best video about simple yet well thought lighting set ups. love it!
Probably the best informative channel in regards to food photography/lighting set up I’ve come across. Definitely subscribed!
Wow thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words and the sub!
You are absolutely right, Rossano.
i was coming here to say that and how simple and helpful was that, of course thanks to the inspirations he got to share with us, i salut u!
I couldn't agree more. And such a good teacher too. It's rare.
great video w useful comparison pics for whats being described
Just discovered your channel, and that's exactly what I was looking for! I'm going to binge watch all your videos 😍
Bestest so far removed all my misconceptions and gonna help me to invest in lights in right direction. Thanks alot brotherrrr grow more❤️❤️❤️
Love your channel, always very useful and educational without all the over hyped fuss lot of other yt'ers have but still being funny at times and never boring
Just shared this video with my San Diego City college lighting class. Great ideas. Thanks!
Just watched this vid and found it has the same quality as your other vids. This is the former commercial photog and food photog's assistant. If you look at the late 1977-79 issues of Commercial Photography magazine from Japan, you will see how the Japanese food photogs built and lit their sets. Bloody incredible use of diffusion material and lights and very similar to your approach. And observing natural light is very important. Nice work, figandlight.
Wow! This is very helpful! I'm starting out on my food and cooking channel and I learned a lof from your video. I don't have a sophisticated set up but the knowledge you shared really helps. Thank you for sharing. I'm glad I found your channel. And now I follow it. Great, man.
I learn so much from your channel that I feel like a criminal learning it for free. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Great video Brandon! hope you can do a second part, your channel is so inspiring.

Very interesting!! You have the most unique lighting I have encountered in food photography, Brandon. The lighting adds depth towards a simple subject.
It’s a purposive placement of lights but subtle in effect.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words as always 🙏

Hi, I just found out your channel and instantly subscribed cause I think you make amazing content, all your videos I’m super interesting and I can’t wait to experiment with all these techniques! As I just started with studio photography, I’d really need a “shopping guide” on reflectors, modifiers, stands, backdrops and all these essential props. Do you have any video or suggestions about that? Thank you 🙏
This was very helpful. Thank you
Awesome! I'm glad it helped
Damn, I wasn’t expected so much content
Brilliant video
I can't wait to experiment along these lines tomorrow morning
Thank you

hey great videos. I was wondering how did you do the wood board where you put the loops bowl on.
Super! Thank you
🙏🙌
Awesome videos 👏
Thank you!
How do you not have 100000s of followers, this is by far one of the best food photography tutorials I found on CZcams! Many thanks & keep up the good work!
Wow, thank you so much! 🙏
@@figandlight I followed you on Instagram also, you deserve way more recognition! I am really grateful for all the videos you made so far - very eloquent and to the point & you are taking the topic beyond a basic entry level explanation. Best wishes!
That's awesome. I'm glad my explanations help! Thank you for the feedback
@@figandlight I agree with the previous comment. Thank you for this! I don't see a link for your newsletter/email add.
great stuff)
you should be a cinematographer :)
Very helpful. Will def try some of these!
Yes! Thanks Miguel, I'm glad it helped. I'd love to see what you come up with!
figandlight I’m just starting out in food photography, literally still gathering gear! I’ve been shooting landscapes for a while and wanted a second genre; I find this one very interesting. Will let you know what I come up with. Thanks!
Solid video! Now I need to buy some cereal.
hahah thanks man. Cereal is an okay subject, but always a great meal.
Can you please make more videos? Watched many food photography/lighting tutorials, yours by far is the best one of all the videos I watched.
Haha I definitely have some in the process! Right now it's all Lightroom tuts, but more to come even after! Thanks James, I really appreciate that 🙏
Great videos, thank you. It's difficult to understand why there are so few subscribers - that will soon change, I feel sure. Subscribed.
Thanks Chris!
This channel needs to be taken to the air🔥🔥
🙌 Thanks Abdul!
@@figandlight I just jumped to your channel while searching for photography tutorial on how IKEA shoot their products. Any place/channel/site you might know? Specifically I'm looking on how to shoot kitchen sinks, which in their websites and clean and sharp.
Thanks in advance ❤️
I wish I could give this video multiple Likes, because it deserves more than just the thumb.
nice video! but how come in the "soft and streaks", the shadow of that one strawberry has a different direction? is it because of light which passed through the glass hitting that strawberry?
You are the best 👌 thnak you.
Always kind and generous with your comments, thank you!
What are you using to attach the reflector to the C-Stand? Thanks!
Thanks...😊
I buy godox sl60w for product and food photograpy its good?
I only have continues lighting 5500K
( 25w)
My question is... How to use that to get better results?
Especially for overhead shot?
Thank you
I am a videographer.
So i should use lasting light..
can i make light art without instant light?
And thank you for video. I am learning and it gives me idea how to make light.
Do you make food video?
what size of the diffuser did you use in this?
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Hi Figandlight, I have a question for you.. What material surface do you use in your videos?
Hi! What are the clips you use to hold up the foam boards?
Hey, great video ! Thanks so much for explaining it in such a easy way. Just wanted to ask what if you don’t have 1/2 Ctb gel and only have full ctb gel that comes with the basic kit?
I believe the basic kit comes with a full CTb. I could be wrong, I'm sure that info is available on their website
figandlight yes it comes with a full ctb but what I need to ask is what should I do if i don’t have a 1/2 ctb gel ? You are using a half blue gel in one of your setups here to create that golden hour effect. Is there any other way to achieve the desired results without half ctb ?
Wow good and nice! :)
thank you!
