FRESHEN UP

Today I focused back on product photography. Using a typical household item such as deodorant, the possibilities are endless. This photo was created using one speedlight with 2 images composited together. The first shot was the back light which was created with 2 grids placed on the speedlight for the tight round circle. The deodorant was shot with a speedlight and some black cards to block out unwanted light. The images were composited in photoshop for the final result. Unfortunately, there was some jaggedness on the text on the deodorant which was cleaned up as best as possible.

IT'S HAPPY HOUR SOMEWHERE

As another day goes by during lockdown, its time for another photo opportunity. I have always wanted to try photographing beverages and why not start with the proverbial wine bottle. I decided to purchase an inexpensive unknown brand rather than raiding my wife’s wine chiller as I was unsure how long this could take (ie. days?). After some trial and error, a series of photos were taken and composited in photoshop to create the final product. Sure, there are things that could be improved but overall I am quite satisfied for my first attempt. Unfortunately, this is not my beverage of choice so I will never know how it tastes.
