Learn My Shot: How to Photograph Wine Bottles

2 Commentsby   |  10.25.11  |  Announcements

This tutorial was a great help for me when shooting reflective bottles. I really appreciated the step by step process and practical advice of what he does to correct for something when it becomes an issue, like when he uses the vellum to help diffuse his side lights. I feel like that kind of approach, rather than just showing the final lighting set-up, is really helpful for giving aspiring studio photographers a set of tools they can use rather than a pre-set lighting set-up that can only be used for one specific kind of shot.

    Checking out this technique of shooting reflective services is insteresting to see how its actually done. Overall, it really is controlled with slim lights on either side just to get a small highlighted slit and then that fall off offered with the shape of the object to get deeper/darker/richer contrast. I greatly enjoyed and learned from this photo tutorial.
