Since the holidays just ended I thought I would post some new product photos, and of course a tear sheet of the West Edmonton Malls Holiday gift guide.
When a photographer shoots product on white, you really have to hope you work with a good designer to blend your work together well in the final project. I have shot in the past product on white only to have the images surrendered to subpar designers, resulting in a less than eye popping final product.
In the case of 2010 West Edmonton Mall gift guide the first good sign was I was given the opportunity to shoot some heavy brands like Burberry, Fossil, Coach, Armani and Boss. Then my images were turned over to their great designers who worked their magic and made solid collages of all the product. The final book ended up being a 20page guide.
I also decided to post some photographs of a new perfume from Issey Miyake. It's a reflective black bottle on a black background, so it presented a lot of challenges in studio.
I ended up lighting it with 5 light sources. Soft boxes, a snoot, and one of Trevor Schneider's fiber optic kits that attach to my elinchrom heads. Trevs work can be seen here. http://www.actionfigurecollectables.com/
This image is pretty clean out of camera, just slight post to clean up dust specs and a slight thinning of the reflection lines.
Enjoy!
