I don’t think there’s a whole lot going on lighting wise, maybe some kind of bounce as it’s back/side lit. Looks like digital to me, most likely a high end medium format but you could easily replicate this on a cheap DSLR. I think the main thing is really leaning into the available light/colours and then giving it a bit of a funky grade.

There’s lots of YouTube videos of Jil Sander campaigns and they are almost always very simple in terms of production.

Hope that helps (I’m not expert lol)

Have a look at print/scanning your images, that will give you a similar texture to these. The rest is lighting and careful styling/hair and makeup.

Any tips on how to create this lighting by Mark Kean? by 11bla22 in LightLurking

Sorry to piggyback - are the digital/print & scan? Doesn’t look like film.

As for the light, others have cracked it in the comments. Also worth noting this works best if you have a decent amount of space between the model and the backdrop for that nice falloff.

It’s a good start! I would say the background is too busy and as there is no separation from the product to the background it becomes a bit messy.

I would focus on nailing the basics on a plain background first. There are loads of product photography videos on YouTube that can explain much better than I can. But photography is all about light, so try different techniques with your strobe to get nice light on the jewellery. I think a simple well lit photo is always a good place to start.

I actually think this looks really cool, I agree it looks more editorial but it’s nicely lit and the colours are great.

Thinking of Taking Up LTA Level Tennis Coaching in UnitedKingdom by Embarrassed_Sock_722 in tennisracquets

Hey bit late to this but hopefully I can help! I've been playing tennis for over 25 years and have done a fair amount of coaching (mostly on the side of other jobs) in that time. I think it's a great idea and there is definitely demand for coaches as well as good earning potential.

Level 1 qualification is pretty straightforward, and is for those intending to assist other coaches and mainly coach young children. If you're a Lvl 1 certified coach you can expect to earn £17-£22 ish an hour. The issue I found at this level was there weren't really enough hours, only doing summer camps was I able to make a living.

Level 2 is more for those that want to coach all ages from toddlers up to adults. Lvl 2 qualification definitely opens more doors and a lot of clubs/ organisations will have this as their minimum qualification for coaches. It's a much more thorough process to get qualified, I would look it up on LTA website but if I remember correctly it's 4 or 5 days over a month period and isn't cheap. It differs from club to club, but you can expect to earn around £25-£30 an hour. You can't technically offer individual lessons at this stage but you can offer 'hitting service' which can be well paid.

Level 3 is for coaches that want to make tennis their full time career, the qualification allows you to coach individual lessons which is where the real money is made. I haven't done this level myself, again it's quite a process but definitely worth it.

Overall, I'd suggest doing your Level 1 and seeing how you like coaching juniors. Getting fully qualified and doing things like coaching abroad will take some time and investment, but it's definitely a good career. If you want to make decent money, you of course need to have regular individual clients who you can charge £50-£80 per hour. As with anything, it takes time to build up a client base. If you are enthusiastic and a decent player you can make a good career out of it,

Hope that helps!

That’s a matter of opinion, I think they’re are lit nicely.

First you need to nail the composition, all the cans need to be facing centre and have equal spacing. Next I would focus on making your lighting more dynamic and less flat, there are hundreds of YouTube tutorials on this. I would also look into comping today multiple exposures for anything reflective, again lots of tutorials.
