Plexiglas for Studio Photography: why it is cool to shoot product on it? Alex Koloskov demonstrates in a short video all cons and pros of this material for a photographer.
Find more tutorials here:
“What do you use as a shooting table” — I’ve heard this question many time, and when Peter Combs asked me on G+ again, I’ve decided to record this shot 3 minutes video, explaining and demonstrating why I like black plexiglas for studio photography.
Why the video came out 10 minutes instead of planned 3? I am trying to make them short and therefore more valuable, but I talk too much! I’ll be keep trying to shorten them:-)

I can't seem to find this anywhere or size I require as both my ends are male it seems.I am in UK Can you also suggest booms that can be attached to light stand for speed lights?
Спасибо Алекс за ваши уроки!! Очень интересно и познавательно! Хотелось бы некоторые уроки послушать на русском языке!
ammazza che due balls… come far diventare noioso un argomento potenzialmente interessante…..
Очень интересные уроки у вас Alex. Спасибо большое. Жаль не все понимаю до конца, потому что не очень хорошо знаю английский язык.
So… I was watching and listening throughout. I thought a little about the plexiglas. Alex continued just talking about the reflections, blah, blah.. Then he took a random object put in on the table. Didn't adjust anything much, focused, shot and – WA BAMM!! Beautiful product photo straight outta camera. I broke out laughing . Great stuff man!
Alex, does the thickness matter of the black plexiglass? I see that the thicker plexiglass is more expensive on ePlastics, but what benefit does the thick version have over the thin version?
Thanks Alex. How can you keep dusts out of it?
Plexiglass should be available nearly anywhere in USA. And quite cheap. in Australia it is relatively expensive, aka acrylic. Just about any plastic type company would sell plexi and all national cities in USA would have plastic companies. Plexi is used a lot in housing for bathrooms, kitchens etc.
Thanks Alex, for people in west you might type Tap Plastics I know that they are in SF, & Oakland. Thanks dudes
Can't believe you could not find this stuff in Atlanta somewhere. Being in Atl myself, I'll have to shop around.
Hi dude to you too! Thanks for all you share and do for photography.
ROFL on the hi dudes. Some people take life too seriously, I was very surprised people had a problem with that.
