Woodinville Whiskey Product Photo

Woodinville Whiskey by William Alan Photo

Set Up photo for Woodinville Whiskey by William Alan Photo:

Set up photo for Woodinville Whiskey by William Alan Photo

1. Camera position
2. Product position
3. Speedlight bounced into an umbrella on the background only
4. Speedlight snooted and gridded to light the label
5. Speedlight snooted aimed at diffusion panel to fill label reflective letters
6. Small white reflector to fill reflective label on right side

The photo below shows the effect of light number 3 in the set up diagram above. No direct light is hitting the product. The light is bouncing from the background through the liquid and glass toward the camera.

#3 Background light only

The photo below shows the effect of light number 4 in the set up diagram above. The light source has both a snoot and a grid to pull the light into a small area, mostly on the label (and some on the cork).

#4 Snooted and gridded light on the label

The photo below shows the effect of light number 5 in the set up diagram above. A snooted light source lights up the translucent panel in a controlled way. This keeps the size of the apparant light source appropriate to the area being lit. In this case it is offering light to the reflective lettering on the bottle that is not lit by light number 4. Likewise the reflector (number 6) lights up the right side of the bottles reflective lettering.

#5 Snooted light through diffusion material to fill reflective portions of the label.
