It’s always a challenge to shoot a clear or nearly clear bottle on a light or white background. In this shot I wanted to use the Savage Universal Backgrounds for Holidays and winter scenes. Once the shot was all setup and ready to shoot it was easy to change to a second background and shoot again.
Product photography, beyond the basic white booth shots, takes thought, time and experience to do. A good bit of creativity helps too.
This is self project. Something I try to do at least once a month to build my skills, practice, and hopefully get some good images for my Portfolio.
This is quick look behind the scenes of shooting a winter style scene. I wanted a white and neutral look and feel to image to get a cold wintery look. The small amount of color from the bottle label and cap should draw your eye to them. This bottle also features a see through panel with geese flying over a lake in the distance. Working with the lighting to try and get this shot in one image was a challenge. Balancing the processes called for some additional shots to composite the final image from. The label is very reflective, while the bottle itself is matt and does not easily show a bright highlight.
This is something I will return to and play with more versions of this shot. But for now you can see round one of this effort. BTS & larger images below:
