How I shot this Perrier can | Product Photography Tutorial

In this video, I take you behind the scenes of how I shot a recent product photography image I posted to my Instagram. It talks about the importance of managing reflections, how to adjust flash power to help your subject stand out more, and how I made a last-minute decision to change the entire lighting setup to a more "product" looking shot.

Most videos: "I added a 3rd flash to get this image"

Your video: "I added a 3rd flash to get this image, and here is why I did it"

Super helpful video! Thank you!

You videos have really lit a fire under me, they are perfect combination of stunning results and and "Oh I could do that too" vibe, so thank you for that as well.

I was glad it did not involve photo stacking. I know stacking can be a great thing but I was taught to get right in the camera, and that is what you showed. thanks

This video is soooo amazing! I love that you showed each step of the process. It really helps anyone that is trying to practice or learn about lighting reflective objects. Thank you!

Thank you, Thank you so much for a clear, concise video on another use of continuous lighting with additional lights and/or additional backdrops and emphasizing taking an image to see what that additional light (or backdrop) did to your image. I learned a lot and anxious to try these techniques as I learned to control each light source added,

The final changes made it much better!

What a great video! This is not a video... this is a lighting teaching manual! Super job! Thank you! And hey... I bought my light meter and it has arrived, and two main strobe lights are on the way. Thanks to your support, and great videos! ))) Wish you a great day! )))

Good refresher course. I might get a can, bottle, or other small products to practice with as a hobby. Thanks for the class.

Judging from the dust on the camera, I have to subscribe. cause I know it's authentic and you know what you're doing <3

AWESOME., ,,LOVE your channels. The flow of the video is easy to understand. You explain the techniques clearly, straight to the point and with the slow pace, made a Non-English speaking audience like me can easily to follow the content. THANK YOU

i was trying to photograph a white soda can, and ended up with an unsatisfying result due to my lack of experience, i cant begin to thank you enough for sharing your skills with us, thank you so much

Great tutorial. The spot highlights that the third light introduced were bugging me a lot. Glad you sorted that out with the tweaks at the end, final result looks amazing.

You can also cross polarize the light source / lens to eliminate the specular highlight. Or use a print of a gradient, place it like a bounce and let the can reflect the printed gradient.

[PatouLauwers]

Loved your video. Thank you for sharing

[EdwinJoseph]

That was exactly how the process should be ! It was really nice to watch the work behind the shot.

[TheLucaCC]

great video, im in love with the step by step explanations of each light and your process. I do have one question (coming from a photographer who has never shot products before), is the picture of the lime on the left not a bit blown out ? just looks a bit hot to me but I was wondering if that was an artistic choice or what
