Product photography tutorial. Learn photography & professional studio photography techniques.

37 32



Learning photography, especially professional photography can be a real challenge especially when you’re using a lot of studio lights and trying to capture a specific emotion of a photography scene.

Here’s a great photography studio product shoot tutorial using multiple lights.

Capturing the right emotion for this type of shot can be a bit of a challenge so I explain each step, one at a time as I build up to the final image.

Enjoy the tutorial & please share with your photography friends.

All the best,
Karl Taylor

    Just guessing….the wine came from a different bottle, as the bottle in the video wasn't open! …Artistic licence?…

    What does a half stop and stop mean?

  13. Nasarullah says

    Can you make a tutorial without adding all those expensive and a lot of lights, rather a setup with less lights and more simple setup to take the same results, may be not exactly the same, but near to it.
    But I really love the light setup, especially the red light and the top light setup.

  14. Joe Drummer says

  27. J A says

    Very nice example/demonstration. Without all this gear, how much of these effects can be added post processing with lightroom/photoshop? Any suggested vids/tutorials?

  28. Jazzhandedly says

    Nice setup, expensive as well.

  29. Oscar Lopez- Amazon FBA says

  30. SWAPNIL ADSURE says

    Best product photography video ever…Thank you sharing this priceless information and yes correct amount of lights can make ur picture great.

  31. Claudio Ricardo Tormen says

    Awesome. Thank you for sharing.

  32. Victor Schwanke says

    Karl, which lights are flash and which lights are continuous? Thank you

  33. 00Skyfox says

    The overhead light also seemed to nicely bring out the red in the glass of wine, more so than the red light coming in from the side.

    Would you have been able to bring out more red from inside the bottle by having a small light with a snoot or something directly behind the bottle shooting light into it, or alternatively shining up through a hole in the wood surface that the bottle is sitting on?

  34. Ll G says

    Do you have a video on automotive photography?

  35. Jeremy Gorman says

    You do indeed provide a valuable service to us all. I'd only comment that the generic glass you chose doesn't do much to complement the wine. You probably chose it so as not to overshadow the bottle, I expect

  36. Yaksh shah says

    Thank you sir for teaching. You're amazing.

  37. ardiku71 says
