The Roomba is hilarious!

That’s fricken awesome! It’s good to see how a working professional does his/her job. So much to think about. Especially the lighting. Love the shot with the bubble centered on the spout!👍🏼

What a wonderful trip down memory way. Thank you! I spent so many days in the studio making minute changes to craft the image just so. Students have no idea of how much work goes into a seemingly "simple" picture of a product until they follow along and see for themselves. Bravo!

Scott your mention of how the client will bring bottles without labels and labels separately to get the perfect result for the shoot brings back memories. As a young photographer a couple of our clients were large consumer products companies that included toilet paper and paper towels in their product line. When it was time to shoot a new wrapper, the client would have half a semi-truck of product delivered to the studio. The day before the shoot the product manager would show up with a roll of the new wrapper design. Usually a test run from the printer. They (product manager and two or three of their assistants) would then spend the day hand wrapping rolls of the product to use for the various setups. Side benefit was they left all the product after the job. So we never had to purchase those consumables at the store. LoL

Thank you so much. Such a great video, as always. Love your channel and your down to earth way of telling us like it is.

Hey, this was inspirational man. Those shots at the end have inspired me to take some pictures of something like that.

this is the content I come here for 👌🏻

Awesome ! The images are worth the hard work.

Thank you, Scott and the Team, so much for sharing this shoot - much appreciated!

i have to say my pet peeve is showing up for a shoot and nothing is set up and i as a client has to answer all the questions of what are we doing all over again and sit and wait while the photographer sets up. So good on you for wanting to figure it out ahead a time.

I love working alone but this stream has me wanting company. Maybe I'll start with one of my kids 😅

Besides the excellent content here, Im relieved to know my Rhumba isn't the only one that always seeks out where I am.

I knew about doing product photos and the problem of labels being crooked, which is why lighting and shooting the label is often a separate undertaking and then it's added to the photo later. But I didn't know that blank bottles and individual labels are things that are sometimes bought for the client. It seems the client (which I guess even though an ad agency does the hiring, ultimately it's the brand that is the client) would provide those things for the photo shoot.

Love the true to life video take!

absolute gem!

Thanks Scott!😀

This video is fantastic. I love every bit of it. Thanks. Please do more videos like this. It's great to learn by watching. I got so much great information from what you said and watching the shoot.

Great insight into process! Thank you for this!

Thanks! Great video!

Great insight into a test shoot.

Amazing shots dang, I hope I can get to that level

Love this content - both seeing the way you work with crew and how different gear is rigged and then adjusted is so useful. Could’ve potentially had a gopro mounted on the camera to capture the adjustments from the camera’s angle, but not important. Hope you can do more similar videos to this.

What about the bubbles? Thought that was going to be the money shot !! I’m your client.

looks fun mind you

So good to see the inner workings of this! As someone who has only danced around the edges of product and still life work I find the setup and effort fascinating! Quick noob question if I may, what is the purpose of having these images…did you say you would try and pitch them to the respective companies after the shoot?? Or for you to be commissioned to do something similar in the future?

Your partner is an expert baker and you’ve got supermarket snacks! 😂 Also missed Moggie

The first advert that poped up was...Fairy Liquid...coincidence? 🤔

I wonder if shooting with tilt shift would have helped fix the perspective warp that has the bottle leaning over like that

Fantastic video showing your process and workflow! Im curious, what is the need for shooting with warm tungsten lighting? And how does that warm lighting match with the cool white flash from the strobes?

0:08 - the pop .. that's a really powerful strobe, I thought, multiple thousand Ws. Or was it

Could you please clarify what you meant when you said as a pro you need to know when 'good enough' is enough vs. keep on going until you get it right? Sorry maybe I misunderstood, but these seem to contradict?

Three of the products on the table at 13.17 look like you shot the artwork. Coincidence?

Do you think there would be value in having the computer where you don''t have to turn around?

So, what does your kitty think of the Roomba? Mine would probably be hiding under something in the corner.

Nope, I walk and talk too 😅

Important question Scott, how many times have you tripped over the roomba?

First step in taking an epic photo? Get out your foam paint roller 😃!!

**Real talk** With the steadily increasing photorealistic images coming from a combination of photo scanning and AI tools, do you see an end in sight for the world of product / still life photography?

Literally cannot sit still if I'm on the phone.

So, where are the bubbles? After all the talk about bubbles, there were no bubbles in the end.
