Another weekend of average weather, but that is OK as I promised to do some bottle shots for a winemaking friend so he can sell his wines on line. It is technically fun doing these shots as getting consistent light on a curved surface without any unwanted reflections can be,,, interesting. And I can’t help myself and end up always going overkill.
4 studio lights, 2 tripods, 2 scrims, a tape measure, a spirit level and a large lump of polystyrene foam. Nothing to it really.
Each bottle gets at least 3 shots for each image which get composited in Photoshop so that the bottle is evenly lit and the label is nice and clear. Once set up it is pretty quick to do each image. It is just the hour of work to put it all away so that I get my dining room back which is the annoying bit. :-) And the payment for this, I get to drink the wine of course!
