Some of the shots we did for the LCBO late last year are currently running in stores throughout Ontario. It was a ski cabin inspired shoot, pairing selected VQA wines with delicious soups. Just in time to curl up in front of the fire to watch the Olympics.
We also worked on our white wine lighting setups – always more complex cause the liquid allows you to see through to the background, which is never flattering. White wine always needs a bit of pop to make it look good too!
For our testing, we used a Riesling, which always tends to look like Sprite when shot if you’re not careful.
My assistant Breanne and I were experimenting with different setups for shooting wine bottles on a set earlier this week. We wanted to get great looking shots without having to do a lot of compositing and retouching work in Photoshop.
This is one of the shots from our work – we only needed two photos for this image. The main shot, plus a second shot to get the gold lettering on the caps to come to life. Only a few touch ups in post.
As with most of my work, I try to capture as much in-camera as possible, relying on post processing for minor tweaks and clean ups.
