Product Photography










Side/front flash units at half power, rear flash at full power (hides the creases in the backdrop).

The two front flashes were triggered by radio control units, rear flash was triggered by the other two flashes with an optical slave unit.

Red wine is more difficult because it reflects the background more easily. If you look carefully you will see the camera in the glass, I could have removed the reflection in the setup but it was the white background version that was required for James Halliday's wine companion magazine (apparently if your into wine that may mean something to you).

The third image was the most difficult, white wine with a black background showed up every spot of dust, and very hard to not have the background reflected in the bottle. I tried using transparent umbrella's for the lighting, however the glass reflected the metal frame of the umbrella.


.....and no, I dont drink the stuff.
