Whiskey and Wine – Liquor bottle photograph on Whiskey barrel – Beverage Photography
18 10 2015
A quick shot of a bottle of Whiskey from a local small distiller in Westfield New York. A whiskey barrel planter turned upside down was used as the table. The background is made up of wine bottles also sitting on the whiskey barrel. Depth of field was very shallow at f2.8 just to make sure the label was sharp and the focus started falling off right away. Lighting was provided by a single Paul C. Buff Einstein in a PCB strip light that was moved around the set and multiple exposures where taken to later be combined in Photoshop. I took 5 of the exposures into Photoshop and did some layer masking to select the area of the each exposure that I wanted to use in the final image. A little light flare was adding into the left side of the image and finished off with some unsharp mask.
What do you think?

Beer Bottle Photography – Beverage Photography – Product Photography
21 09 2015Beer Bottle Photography, Beverage Photography
Same bottle as the previous shot of the Stella Artois beer bottle but I was playing with a color burst background which was created in Photoshop using colors pulled from the bottle and a burst was hand drawn on a new layer this layer was taken into the the radial blur filter > blur method was switched to Zoom and the amount was 80. This filter setting was added multiple times to get the look I wanted. I didn’t like the first attempt at the background so I just painted some more on the same layer and applied the filter again.

Beer Photography Tutorial from Photigy.com and Ilya and Maz Plotnikov
21 09 2015Beer Photogaphy How-to
A new tutorial offering from Photigy.com and Ilya and Max Plotnikov of Doberman Studios. Two brothers that are producing incredible images in Russia. I think this world wide community of product photography and photographers that Photigy.com brings together is just incredible.
This tutorial on beer bottle photography takes you through selecting the most common focal length lenses for commercial work to lighting all the way through post processing in Photoshop. They walk you through four complete images both in the studio and in photoshop. Each image has different looks which require different techniques. The use minimal equipment in the studio and are masters at the post processing side of the image production workflow. If you have any interest in beverage, bottle or beer photography this is one of the best and most complete workflow tutorials I’ve been able to find to date. While you’re at Photigy.com checking out the beer photography tutorial also check out their Studio Basics course and if your a little more advanced in your product photography shooting check out Proclub.
A couple of my images you have already seen but they are based on some of Ilya Plotnikov techniques.

Close up of the neck and cap of a bottle of Angry Orchard cider
This is another Photoshop composite image made up of the front bottle 2 images, one of the back light, one with the lid and label lit properly. Then this front bottle image was added to the image of the background bottles. The background image was blurred a bit and a warm tone radial gradient was added to give it some ambiance and finally a vignette was added to finish it off.

Beer Bottle Photography – Beverage Photography – Product Photography
17 09 2015Beer Bottle on Black
Beverage photography, black bottle on black background.
This image was produced using a single Paul C. Buff Einstein monolight with a large strip light. The light was moved around the bottle and an exposure was taken on the left side to rim light that side and then the same light was moved to the right side to get the same rim light and then a diffusion panel was placed in front of the strip box to produce the diffused hightlight on the left front side of the bottle and then moved to light up the cap area. These 4 exposures where taken into Photoshop and combined into the single image you see here. Some retouching and sharpening was also added in Photoshop.

Beverage Photography – Bottle Photography
14 09 2015Bottle Photography – Skyy Vodka bottle on Blue
A multiple exposure composite in PS. I used a single light with a large stripe box on it and moved the light around the bottle to give me a quick studio shooting session and options in Photoshop when I brought the images in to composite them into the final image. This way of shooting which wasn’t possible a few years ago gives you a lot of options on how you want the final image to look and is also allows you to make multiple version of the image depending on what exposures you use in Photoshop. It allows the client to say I like this highlight on the left but I want that different highlight on the right etc. etc. This just offer many possibilities.

12 09 2015This image is a multiple image composite made up of the bottle, then the chrome lid and finally the background. The background was made by using a “lightsword” attached to a small LED flashlight with a blue filter to add the color. The individual components where taken into Photoshop and composited and retouch to clean up any blemishes.

Watch Photography – Product Still life Photography – Western New York – Chautauqua County NY
6 09 2015Black on Black Watch Photography
Photographing a watch with a black body, black straps, a black face, black numbers and finally very dark grey hands was an exercise in controlling highlights to show the shape and details of the watch while keeping it black. This image is made up of three exposures that where brought together in Photoshop so that I could light individual elements and control them in Photoshop of the watch.
Product Photography Retouching
When you are photographing something as small as a watch you start to see all the imperfections that need to be corrected when you do your post processing. Retouching on this watch took up sometime. Everything that’s wrong jumps out at you when you’re working close up on a smaller item. All the imperfections in the product show up and need to be fixed as well as and handling marks, finger prints, scratches etc. Highlights need to be smoothed out, reduced, or enlarged to make everything look perfect. Perfection is always the goal when we are trying to show the product at it’s best.

Large Product Lightpainting Photography- Erie Pa, Chautauqua County New York
17 08 2015Lightpainting Product Photography
A classic Massey Ferguson tractor in a field, I used a lightpainting technique to give the tractor a unique painterly look that you can’t achieve any other way. Lightpainting like this is done with a small Olight M10 Maverick LED flashlight and combining multiple images in Photoshop to build up the final image. In this case I used 31 separate images out of 81 total exposures. The tractor was brushed in light in small areas to light each part of the image slightly different but will still blend well with the other 30 images. In Photoshop the images are stacked and blending modes changed and then layer masks where used to help blend all the images together to come up with the final image.
