Great to see a Photographer showing how to photograph instead of leaving everything up to compositing! Well done, Karl! Great use of your skills and also post. Really classic product image. Beautiful!

admire your professional lighting knowledge and skill 🙇🏻‍♂️

This man is a magician!

I have no words to express here... its too amazing to see how much of an effort Karl has taken to get 80-90% shot perfect and that too in-camera. I am sure, others would have got 50% correct in camera and used Photoshop to get the remaining shot right.

To celebrate a wonderful shoot…it’s cocktail time. Crack that bottle open. Nice job Karl. All great information.

Karl Taylor is a Genius. I always get excited when he uploads a new video.

What you achieved with just one light blew my mind. Fantastic shot, no doubt, but what amazes me most is how you made it look so simple to achieve this. This channel keeps blowing my mind :)

It is easy to think that the experienced pros take on a shoot, rock up, set it all out, take the shot and bag the cash. What I love about Karl's videos is the warts-and-all presentation - break the task down, take a load of shots, many of them fail, but picking the right on and moving onto the next element. Even the pros do it!! (or are they pros because the do it??) Not only that but also looking at how to prioritise the elements before moving onto the next one. Of course, experience will offer solutions that to me look like something you have to put up with (a typical one is moving the bottle to get the light on the glass, a simple answer to something I have found a huge problem!). Kudos, Karl - my still life is improving because of your videos.

This is a great video and there’s so much more than just the prop, lighting and post production. Anyone notice how tuned in Ashleigh was to the whole process and how with minimal instruction, Karl is using his assistant to greatest effect. Anyone notice that the cameraman filming Karl is out of the shadows so as not to negatively affect the demonstration. These are perhaps the best educational videos I’ve seen and I’m swiftly becoming a huge fan of Karl’s delivery, not least his enthusiasm for sharing what he does extremely well. A whole creative team on show led by a creative master. Great great job.

Wow.

Beautifully executed, Karl. Very cool to see your process, step by step. When someone is truly a master of their craft, they make their creations appear so effortless, just as you've done in this presentation. Thanks to you and your lovely assistant for sharing your knowledge with us, sir. Have a great day.

Amazing.. Love watching your skills in action!

you are incredible! Thank you so much for these videos!!

Awesome video please do more like this

Beautiful, simple and clear. Thank you very much for your contribution.

incredible work

I am glad this pop up again. Great courses and DLSR/mirrorless/Medium format cameras product/Portrait shots also.

I learned a lot from that! Not least, how much you can do in one shot rather than 1000 composites if you set the scene correctly.

your enthusiasm is wonderfull!

This video is amazing. Keep up the good work Karl. Learning so much.

Well done, thanks for showing the whole process, great content in general!!!

Absolutely amazing. Thank you

Fantastic!

Thanks once again Mr Taylor for this educational video .

i love this... i'm 3d artist (more like hobbyist) and that's what i usually do when doing render on glass-y product. i put light behind the product and directed it toward the product

I'm going to experiment and do my own shoot. Thanks for the lesson and inspiration.

You are a master craftsman and artist. It's always a pleasure to watch you work. I'll be joining your Education group soon.

Never thought I'd be interested in product photography but I really enjoyed watching this, really interesting. Thanks.

Great tutorial. Enjoyed every moment watching and learning from this video.

Wow! Thanks for sharing Karl 🙏🏼

I learned so much from this man in the past decade. Many thanks!

Great video, great composition!

What a master, a real teacher!

Great instruction Karl.

You are brilliant Sir. I really love your tutorial

WOW this is amazing Karl! Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant! 👏

😍 just great! And great knowledge you give, thanks Karl!

Awesome, Karl you make complicated shoot look so simple.

this is gold ,thank you Karl

Long time viewer, first time commenter. This video was absolutely brilliant in terms of step-by-step explanation. Visual learners like myself thrive with content like this. Also, I just adored when Karl got excited those couple times when the light he wanted produced the effect he wanted. That made me smile so much! 🙂

It's wonderful.......

Brilliant!

This is my first ever video on Product lighting and Gid this is amazing

Thank you for guidance sir.

Its a good drop that Dalmore 12. Spicy nose. Almond / white pepper / walnut taste. Finish is ok for the price: A bit fizzy and medium length.

Great video! It was very informative. Thank You,

I love your work

Great !

Amazing job. Well done.

Master Piece

AMAZING, as ever...

Awesome tutorial thanks for sharing it with the world !

Well done. Amazing lesson.

I’d love to know more about the business side of it. How many IMAGES do they get? How long do they get to use them and about what they pay? That is one beautiful studio! And of course you do beautiful work!

Fantastic inspirational thank you!!!

I used to have to shoot bottles of vegetable oil for a big food company, so it's fun to see how this plays out at the high end! (And of course whiskey is much more appetizing...) The trick about shining the phone's light from lens position and tracing around the shadow is brilliant!

As usuall, great content. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This is magic. I even feel stupid to write a comment. Sir, thank you so much.

Wonderful tutorial Karl! Thank you.

Learned loads. Now....off to get a whiskey.

Brilliant result, which you make to look so simple to achieve.

Had taken Karl's basic course and I should admit has been an amazing experience on the type of photos I am taking now. Recommend this course for all newbies. Great job Karl, keep educating us.

Awesome!

good job, nice shoot

Amazing work! Tnx for sharing! ✌😎

Thanks. Thats great

always professional and effective ... thank you Karl Your educational platform is the best one. Andrea

🔥🔥hands on I love it

Amazing photographer

Your tutorials are so well put together. Thanks very much for sharing. i will definitely look at your full package. regards

Thanks for these little tips packed with immense knowledge Karl! I hope someday I can study with you, greetings!

Excellent inspirational clip, Karl- Thank You!

You created a very fine image of that bottle of tasty stuff. You are encouraging me to try various arrangements of lights and especially inexpensive reflectors, especially if they are shaped just so. Nice trick casting that shadow!

This video was absolutely gorgeous Karl u nailed it really enjoyed this video I’ve also experienced some product photography also wine glass and wine bottle by watching this video it’s helped me find out more were the lights need to be

Awesome 👌.

Thank u sir

Great educational video ,, I appreciate it

Thanks a lot, really nice techniques.

Oh I got it, the black paper where ms. Ashley held it. Thanks

Amazing, really helpful also for me as a 3D artist :) thanks Karl

Thanks a lot

Love it ! Your English accent is soOOoo clean & tonic you could take over Jony Ive from Apple.

Great! Thank you!

Amazing Video👏

You are crushing it! I especially appreciate that your leave out all the B roll material. Too many KZfaqrs try to be funny or cute. Just the facts, thank you. Could you remove the white card behind the bottle in post instead of making the cutout? There are multiple images, anyway.

Thanks for the great content. I am cursing KZfaq's video compression for creating incredibly distracting banding in that background gradient.

absolutely fabulous results. whatever you did when you were editing was fast and 2 km over my head...

Awesome work as always. I highly recommend his education website also. Videos and critiques.

This is the real product photography, a lot of real work letting less to digital photo manipulation. This drivers to more realistic end work.

Dalmore 12 Year Old, nice choice...

Amazing

For me it’s not a simple setup like you say. If I should have a studio and the equipment like you, it would be much easier for me to get similar results.

Damn I wish I could afford the full suite of classes this is amazing!

Hi Karl.. you always have a great shoot.. May I ask from this tutorial, you Broncolor Light model have you used is it UNILITE?.
