My favorite client and good friend got in touch last Friday to see if I could do a photo / video product shoot. Never one to shy away from a challenge (and money!), I said yes!! Full disclosure - I have never done a professional product shoot. I do have a lot of experience creating product shoots in virtual CGI/3D, so I drew on that to set up a real-world set in my apartment (many trips to Target for foam core and paper).
The product is a new water that is infused with Hemp. When shaken a certain way, it creates a vortex or "tornado" inside the bottle. This needed to be captured on film. 36 hours later, the end result was a slam dunk for the client, and one of the hardest, but most rewarding projects I've ever done!!
Note that these are far from "straight out of camera". A LOT of Photoshopping and post in After Effects to get the look, but all based on a solid initial image.
A7ii + contax C/Y 28mm f/2.8 (at f/8) and a pretty complicated continuous LED lighting setup with V-flats and other diffusors/reflectors.
