Thank you man, I have to shoot wine bottles, and they are very reflective, I'm short on budget but you gave me some good ideas on how to do it.

Thanks Alex for providing these videos, watching them in HD on a TV is so excellent and I am so inspired by all your work. Sharing all this knowledge is just outstanding.

I'm looking forward to picking up some real lighting and applying your techniques. I hope you continue to YouTube your videos, my favorites, for sure.

Nice demo. I've used trace frames for a number of years to similar effect but its nice to see a side by side demo. Thanks

[AKELstudio]

@mikeklein888

trace frames... Is this sometning like foam board core?

Where did you buy it?

Thanks.

[mikeklein888]

@AKELstudio

I make the trace frames myself using picture frames and tracing paper. I then shoot the light through the tracing paper. Having come from a TV backround this is what we often use to create nice soft lighting and it works for stills too. I never shoot with flash as I have much more experience with continuous lighting.

Great tutorial for shooting reflective objects. Thanks for explaining why a photographer should not to use a light tent for product photography.

Great video,I always struggle with shiny objects,thanks!!!

I use styrofoam boards, 3mm thick. Flashlight shoots through it and gets perfectly diffused. Moving the speedlight further away from the board, the light becomes softer and softer.
