Nice Video it helpful
Great video, thanks! Very to-the-point and the short dance breaks were welcome as well.
Thanks for the video. I was loving the latin track in the background… I don't suppose you know the name?
Another great tutorial, i have been watching others on product photography and ended up more confused, but this one is SPOT ON!!
Gavin Hoey is a master!
Most useful video. I have watched many pertaining to product photography and get lost in all the "technical" terms some folks use to try to convey "simple" messages and techniques. I am so happy that you have done a video which is easy to understand and informative. Thanks.
great useful instructional video …
worst way of leaving a camera and its lens on a flat surface you did @ around 03:50 though!
Awesome video! Definitely love the salsa tune that incorporated into the video! <—bias being that I am a salsa/mambo dancing! 🙂
Ha! The Salsa music as the back ground… nice.

What should I have in mind when trying to shoot a watch this way? Anyone?
Great video, wouldn't adding some soft box diffusion get rid of the shadows on the white background? Just sayin'
he is so sweet and has beautiful eyes 🙂

It's Gavin from Adorama! This video was awesome!

thanks for sharing these videos .. they are very helpful!
i have one question for you
in product photography, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a black background over a white background
thanks in advance
Hello, is this solution better than using a light box ? I have seen a lot of product photography video are in truth, very rarely have I seen a video such as yours without any sort of light box.
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. If found this very helpful!
Nice video..what the instrumental song name..?
Thank you for such a nice video.
Sir, please give me a tip for choosing a right camera + lens for artificial jewelry and Ladies Vanity big. The first one requires sharp image & realistic images.
I have a choice of Canon 700d (18-55, 55-250mm lens combo), Nikon d5300 (18-55, 55-200mm lens combo) and Sony Alpha 58 (18-55, 55-200mm lens combo).
Studio guys are recommending me to buy Macro 100mm lens from manufacturer or compatible sigma or Tamron.
Please recommend me cheapest way to save money on product shoot for Artificial & imitation jewelry and outdoor product shoots.
Is David Mitchell narrating this because it is a very good dub.
Newbie question. re product photography. Using Still lighting. Using canon and colur checker card. I make glass art. Each piece is the same size and shape, but each piece is made of many different colours. Im using f8 – iso 100 . Am i doing this correctly. I switch to manual. I take a photograph of my white card in front of my art. i set this as custom white balance. i then half click when camera at full zoom is focused on the cross hair on the GRAY card. I scroll until the lines on the vertical meter (exposure compensation) are at zero. i then photograph the white card again, and set this as the white balance. i then put camera on tripod and photograph, but before i full click i notice the meter is not at zero, i think i understand why, so i take my picture of my art with the colour checker in there also . when i swap the art over that was originally a dark piece, for a piece that is light in colour, the photograph produces an over exposed result.
What am i doing wrong ?
also….if my clocks are flat…which they are . Is F8 still a good idea, as depth of field is not necessary?
Excellent video – but i have a question. I make glass art. Each piece is the same size and shape, but each piece is made of many different colours. My question is, once i set up my camera to shoot a blue clock, will i need to make any adjustments if i swap the blue clock for a green one , or a black one then a white one ? Im using canon with macbeth color chart
