1
00:00:05,630 --> 00:00:13,940
So, this is looking like a pretty good tablescape or a preparation table save.
2
00:00:13,935 --> 00:00:16,315
A lot of unprepared,
3
00:00:16,315 --> 00:00:23,595
uncooked meats and vegetables here just waiting to turn into stock photos.
4
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:26,790
Use a fairly wide lens,
5
00:00:26,785 --> 00:00:30,315
close down the aperture, 7.1.
6
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:32,510
Make sure you get everything sharp.
7
00:00:34,130 --> 00:00:36,580
Sometimes, in a case like this,
8
00:00:36,580 --> 00:00:40,140
if the table was higher and I couldn't stand on it,
9
00:00:40,135 --> 00:00:42,775
I would get a monopod or a tripod and
10
00:00:42,770 --> 00:00:45,380
sort of connect it to the camera and kind of hold it up
11
00:00:45,380 --> 00:00:50,760
above here almost like a selfie stick but in this case, probably not necessary.
12
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,560
I could just stand on it. Put on auto focus, of course.
13
00:00:56,490 --> 00:01:00,010
Always shoot raw if you intend to edit.
14
00:01:00,010 --> 00:01:03,190
Raw files have a lot more flexibility than jpeg,
15
00:01:03,190 --> 00:01:08,390
although they do take up a lot of space on your computer. Something to be aware of.
16
00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:13,700
Shooting on aperture priority but everyone has their preference.
17
00:01:13,695 --> 00:01:18,085
What I'm doing is I'm using a single point focus
18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,660
and then recomposing the frame to include as much of the table as possible.
19
00:01:22,655 --> 00:01:24,535
Straight down is my preference.
20
00:01:24,530 --> 00:01:28,280
I see a lot more photos sawing straight down in that angles.
21
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,720
Not in every case, but it's kind of a kitschy look,
22
00:01:32,715 --> 00:01:35,305
especially when you have a lot of color popping off the table.
23
00:01:35,305 --> 00:01:38,245
I might change lenses in a little bit and get something with
24
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,910
a bit more of a narrow frame.
25
00:01:40,910 --> 00:01:43,390
It's a blur at the background,
26
00:01:43,390 --> 00:01:49,030
but for now this wider lens is going to do pretty well.
27
00:01:49,025 --> 00:01:53,165
I'd even get some feet in there, some white Converse.
28
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,850
A lot of times, what you can do,
29
00:01:57,845 --> 00:02:02,755
shots like this, even though I'm hanging off the table a little,
30
00:02:02,755 --> 00:02:09,515
I will just copy and paste essentially the table in Photoshop,
31
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:11,890
so that the entire frame is filled with
32
00:02:11,890 --> 00:02:15,070
the slate table and it will emphasize
33
00:02:15,070 --> 00:02:18,420
the food and it will give it more of a symmetrical look,
34
00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:22,010
which I find that symmetry, generally,
35
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:28,550
lends itself well to tablescapes or really anything stock.
36
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,770
Make sure when shooting with products in the frame,
37
00:02:34,765 --> 00:02:39,025
to keep those labels out as much as possible.
38
00:02:39,020 --> 00:02:44,740
So fortunately, somebody took the time to turn all the labels away from me,
39
00:02:44,740 --> 00:02:48,310
the center of the table for me and I can just focus on
40
00:02:48,310 --> 00:02:52,080
the rest of the stuff here and if I need to later,
41
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,930
if it's like a really tight shot,
42
00:02:53,930 --> 00:02:58,240
I can just Photoshop out the actual logo from
43
00:02:58,235 --> 00:03:03,645
the top of the bottle and I generally try to shoot at a lower ISO.
44
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:11,110
That grants you more flexibility in post-production and better color reproduction,
45
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:12,930
which was something like this.
46
00:03:12,930 --> 00:03:15,690
It's kind of ideal because everything is so colorful.
47
00:03:15,685 --> 00:03:19,505
You won't have to spend as much time pushing up
48
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,870
the colors in Lightroom or Photoshop or whatever your software choice is.
49
00:03:23,865 --> 00:03:26,865
If you can just capture them all now.
50
00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:31,720
Maybe move the flowers out of here for a couple of shots.
51
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,620
This is honestly a perfect combination of
52
00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:39,460
food items because everything is a different sort of color.
53
00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:42,160
A lot of it is very summery
54
00:03:42,155 --> 00:03:46,935
and with this nice flat lighting that we have because of the shade of this umbrella.
55
00:03:46,930 --> 00:03:50,690
We have the perfect tablescape.
56
00:03:50,690 --> 00:03:55,590
The most bang for your buck is just going to be to keep shooting,
57
00:03:55,585 --> 00:03:58,175
assuming the setup is to your liking,
58
00:03:58,170 --> 00:04:01,980
which is very much is and you definitely want to
59
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:06,620
check the frame every once in a while and see if it's missing,
60
00:04:06,615 --> 00:04:12,615
maybe this area over here could use a cup and
61
00:04:12,610 --> 00:04:22,670
some garnish and we have the perfect summer layout here.
62
00:04:22,665 --> 00:04:25,535
But the detail shots,
63
00:04:25,530 --> 00:04:31,330
these are the kind of shots that are great on stock websites.
64
00:04:31,330 --> 00:04:35,440
Colorful, detail oriented, garnishes,
65
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,220
the texture of the meat and the artichokes,
66
00:04:38,220 --> 00:04:46,770
and later, depending on what sort of photography you want to do,
67
00:04:46,770 --> 00:04:49,260
these are even good portfolio shots.
68
00:04:49,370 --> 00:04:53,670
All right. I think we have enough shots of the tablescape.
69
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:56,650
I think I'm going to let my friends start to actually cook
70
00:04:56,650 --> 00:05:01,040
this stuff that they bought and I will get some shots of them cooking.
