Beer Bottles

Shooting beer bottles in the studio can be tricky. The glass reflects all sorts of light and getting it to look natural and have some interest is always a challenge. This kind of stuff is real specific and there are photographers who specialize in it. Anyways, I decided to experiment and add some lighting and go for some sort of glam shot. I used a spray bottle and a few strobes placed strategically. Turned out okay and we ended up using it. Yeah the foreground is a little boring with the black velveteen, but I got to work with the graphic artist who was laying out the article and we incorporated the type and some design elements to work with the duller areas. Overall, it was fun and I do have to mention the beer tasted pretty good too.
