Using the black card/tape on the outside, or lifting the cone is brilliant!

[josephchan]

Hope to see more sample images of Portrait/Products at a future date. Great work as always!!

[kunalsil]

Thanks Karl... This session has been very helpful ❤

[NickNightingaleYT]

That light modifier is great and all but your jacket is the real star here. Sharp! 🥂

[Jdikmen]

Purchased from B&H when first released - money well spent!

[HDEFMAN]

I am totally sold on gradient lighting !

[lynnnewman]

How do you use the light cone if you want to shoot an object that is not flatlay? Bottle of wine or perfume bottle standing vertically.

[josephchan]

Did some research. Have some ideas for next personal Project during the fall when I have the budget. Thanks for the class.

[kerrykroberts]

Reminds when I use to use spray adhesive to adhere vellum
astate to a sheet of clear plastic for stiffness and roll. I think it worked the same!

[gamkagan]

I already use your light cone for product shots of rings with gold, and colored stones.But I also have to shoot pendants, which i suspend them from a small frame, so that they hang evenly. How can I hold the light cone horizontally with a "C" stand?

[yanncabello]

I've been looking for light cones of this quality for years. Thank you. Just one question: when you want to photograph vertically, how do you hold the cone in place? I'm fighting hard but I can't find a practical, reliable solution.

[ramonscott]

A white light shade from Ikea works well too.

[clippingpathcreativeltd]

Stellar demonstration! Your approach to glossy product shots is truly transformative. How do different product colors or materials impact this technique? Curious to dive deeper into the nuances!

[niktominec]

Dear Mr Taylor, thanks for sharing all these videos. Can you suggest a camera and the lens for jewlery product photography? Thank you in advance for your answer. Best regards from Switzerland, Nik

[roberteriksson]

Can this cone be used for food photography from the top?

[abhijeetbalshankar]

any tips for shooting when the shot has mix of glossy and matte material. and its not shot in flatlay.

[quietspacearts]

are daylight bulbs any good to use? 60W ceiling lamp provides a 6000 lumen output. The adjustable LED panels can be folded up to 90°, so that it can illuminate every corner of your room. these any good? High Color Rendering CRI≥85

I made one of these out of a dog cone that you get from the vet (the cone of shame), diffusion material and spray adhesive.

[MiaogisTeas]

08:16 can still see the reflection of the embouchure where the camera lens is looking through. It's even more pronounced when shooting watches with a convex front crystal. I've yet to find a way to eliminate this issue in-camera.

[alisonkramer]

I use my cone all the time. People make fun of me because I refuse to use the light boxes. I use paper with LED lighting.
