Updated design gets updated product photos for cola bottles in Pasadena
Back in 2023 I photographed the first cola product this client brought to market. Since then, he has changed the name and of course had new labels made. So it should be pretty simple to repeat the results of the first shoot, right? Well, one and a half years ago I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico and now I live in Pacific Grove, California. The client has always lived in the LA area, but the cola was bottled in a small town outside of ABQ. So I was still able to make new products shots for this client by driving down to LA, looking at my BTS reference photo from the first shoot, and replicating the same shots I made for him before. Thank you Chuck for continuing to choose me as your product photographer!
Professional Bottle Product Photography available in Albuquerque
I often learn new things about photography because of getting certain photo jobs. Such was the case with this shoot for Chuck, founder / inventor of Keto Cola. I had never photographed bottles before so it was an adapting, adjusting, and refining process to make these cola bottle photos. Once I got the setup fine tuned for the result Chuck liked, it was then a one right after the other process that I could consistently repeat. I got to use my Light Cone from V-Flat World and my new continuous LED lights. This combo, along with shooting tethered with live view allowed me to show Chuck what the final photo would look like without even pushing the shutter. The glowing yellow photo you see above is a composite image I made using three different bottle photos.
I was contacted by someone with a couple dozen high end watches, including Rolex, to be photographed for listing for sale online. Without an exact idea for number of photos per watch, the posing of each watch, I agreed to have the new client come in with one example watch to see what he wanted, so that when he brings all 25, we have an established style and look to then photograph each watch efficiently. We learned a lot in many aspects about what each of us needed to do for the final shoot. I still find it hard to believe that the watch you see above is worth $70,000! I look forward to the full shoot of all these shockingly valuable watches in the near future.
