OMG, I have to try this now. I’ve struggled with shooting aluminum cans for so long. trying to remove that shadow and speculate highlight. Most of the tutorials online either remove it post, or they have some overly complicated lighting setup and requires me to solve a physics problem. Plus lighting a can as a flat lay vs lighting it when it’s upright, is completely different. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that! I'm so glad you found it helpful - I think it's easy to overcomplicate these types of things so my goal with this video was to make it as simple as possible. Let me know how it goes and if you run into any issues, happy to help!

@@stephanieshaus I was actually messing with this the other day trying figure out how to light it and I was on the right track with front lighting, but I had the light in front of the camera instead of in-back of the camera. Your suggestion provides a lot more options to position the light a few different ways for different looks. And if you think about it, it makes sense since the shadow in the middle of the can is caused by the gap in the light. Darn science.

Fair enough! If you get a chance to check out some of my more recent videos, I think you'll find some helpful clips and tips on light placement. Thanks for watching!

This was definitely helpful and very information ☺ please more like this. I didn't understand exactly where the light exactly Wass coming from - was it through the hole cut in the cardboard? love your videos Stephanie 🙏

@stephanieshaus Жыл бұрын

Sorry for not being more clear on the light position! It was actually directly in front of the product, coming in from above the white piece of paper that I had placed on my camera lens. Sometimes front lighting can make the products look a bit flat and take away shadows, so that's where another piece of paper or even a black bounce card to shape the light and add a bit of a darker edge on the sides of the product will come in handy. Hope this helps!

Hello. Can you tell me how did you light this? (position,modifier ,etc.) I don’t think that was included in this tutorial. Thanks!

@stephanieshaus 9 ай бұрын

Hi there - thanks so much for watching. This was shot with one light, no diffusion or modifier, and the light is placed in front of the product and slightly to the right hand side. I essentially built the reflectors around the light so that it was still able to shine through towards the front of the can.

@bluehollowarts 7 ай бұрын

Just to add to this question, is this a cob light or a strobe?

@stephanieshaus 7 ай бұрын

Hi there, great video very informative. I have a question, when you create a set around the product is that from a client brief or you are in full control of the creative? Your Set Builds around the product are very creative and that's where I have been struggling.

@stephanieshaus Жыл бұрын

Hi Tony - fantastic question, and this is something that I used to struggle with quite a bit (and still do at times) and it really depends on the client. Sometimes a client will have more specific creative direction where they may specify what kind of glassware to use, how to garnish it, what types of props they want to see, etc. I've also had clients who like to leave all the creative direction up to me but either way, I always outline my image concepts for them to review and approve to make sure we're on the same page prior to a shoot. If there's something else that would be helpful in helping you generate more ideas, let me know and I can include that for future videos! Really appreciate you being here.
