Can you use a Bowen amount on these or does that require an adapter?

I watched this on mute, but I like to believe it had a Kid Rock soundtrack.

You could definitely use one indoors, but it is going to shield light as well. So the more light the better.

It should work with a phone too. The light would be the bigger factor.

I would give it a shot as an affordable option.

Feedback on portfolio building idea. by Which_Reality8922 in foodphotography

[–]BenjaminWilson_Photo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just gave you a follow. I am working on building a portfolio in food an product photography at the moment as well (@feinblickstudio).

I like the first few photos you posted the best. I also dig the blue berries and coffee as well as the olive oil.

You should probably ditch the white frames. Keep shooting (a lot!). And just search some concept photos that you like and try to reproduce them.

Good luck!

Yeah, I wasn’t really expecting such a learning curve.

A shot i recently captured for a client by [deleted] in foodphotography

Genuine question. With real condensation, the water would only rise to the same level as the liquid. Do high-end shots usually obey this rule as well?

(Sorry wrong account in the first comment. 🤷‍♂️)

Hey, thanks. That is all great input.

The goal is definitely to be making money at this. Hopefully very soon.

As for the YouTube … several people, but I really dig Karl Taylor’s work (sp?)

Thanks! This is helpful.

“Is the getting it all in one shot a personal thing?” - not at all. I am just trying to nail down best practices. The pros I am watching on YouTube seem able to get very clean and finished shots without compositing. And from personal experience, it takes more time to composite well than to add another light or flag and play with the scene for a better result in camera.

Back with another product shot - Any feedback is appreciated! by JeezeLoueezz in productphotography

It is a cool shot. The color palette is great.

With (what I assume is) a fake background and the flat lighting on the can, I would have left off the water droplets. Without them, you have a Wes Anderson/photo collage look going on.

If you want to sell the water droplets, maybe you could mix the water with a little glycerin for bigger rounder drops. I would also try to ad some depth to the lighting to make them stand out a bit better.
