Creating has always been a weakness for me. My skills are capturing what I see going on around me.
There is always so much to learn in photography. Keeping up with digital photography alone requires much dedication on behalf of the shooter then you have to know how to merge technical expertise with creativeness.

I enjoy reading blogs like yours and seeing how things are done, there are always “wow!” moments.

Thanks again,

Steve

Oh ok! I’ll tell my client then to meet me there in the humid Atlanta to shoot his drink.. :)

but it was a nice shot any way man that you’ve done.
I’ll manage with the water drops here and get back to you with the results soon ;)

Cheers mate :)

Thanks mate! that was a good explanation, but regarding the water drops, did you use Glycerin mixed with water spray? or it was just a cold bottle on advance and then you sprayed it with water?

Explain it in russian?!! I’m afraid it’s gonna take me way longer to understand it, better keep it english bro :P

Thanks Alex :)

However, it is easy to pull up the thing from a head when I look at the photo:-)
So, here it is:
It was shot on a brown acrylic plastic background, lit from top using a spot light.
2 large softboxes from the sides ob the bottle (you see a reflection from them), one narrow spot was behind the bottle, creating that glow in the middle of the bottle. It was easy to highlight bottle from behind because the label is mostly transparent.
The 4th light was a beauty dish on top of the the subject: you can see a little reflection from it on a water drops on the ‘shoulders’ of the bottle.

Hope this will help you to get an idea. if you need more explanation, let me know, would try to explain you in Russian:-)
Wish you good luck.

Alex

I wanted to ask you about the Beer shot at your portfolio (Bud Light), the front shot of the stand alone bottle, have you done any a tutorial of it? cause now I have the same case shooting.
