Product Photography & why I love it!

Although I take ~200 product photos a week, I still found myself experimenting and creating at my home studio this weekend, just for kicks.

Sounds odd huh?

Product photography can create quite a challenge though - we want to achieve the cleanest, most crisp and balanced image.  Colours and rendition of the image have to be incredibly accurate!

I bet it would definitely surprise the average person how much setup goes into what looks like a very simple shot!  The example shown at left of the new Method Body Wash can be particularly difficult.  With it's clear bottle I needed to pay attention to defining the edges, while not losing or washing out the pale pink colour.... and with it's reflective surface, it was imperative that I watch how the light plays on every curve to get a 'perfect' image.

This image (and many more like it!) was used in an advertising flyer that is distributed across Western Canada.
