Today I worked on getting some glamour shots for a new product Melaleuca will be releasing. This product is a beverage. We had a meeting about the style and mood of the shot. I went and got some of the props that we used for the shoot. It was long shoot. We were moving things around and changing props to try different stylings and create different moods of the picture. We mainly created to versions: One with very soft shadows and very high key. We used a white marble background and styled with some other props to give some color pop. The second that we created was a little moodier with darker background and a bit different light. The lighting on the second one was more selective and gave more focus on the actual beverage.
One of the challenges was the beverage was being shot in a glass mug so it took a long time to manage to get all the reflections off and really make that glass mug shine. It was a fun day shooting.
